On this week's episode, I am joined by two very special people, Amanda Olin and Sophia Barry. Amanda and Sophia have been by my side since residential, PHP, IOP, and now outpatient. I met Amanda and Sophia in treatment down in Miami and I wanted to bring them on so they could have the opportunity to share their stories and to answer questions about family life, treatment, friends in treatment, etc. Amanda and Sophia--I think we all need this episode right now, love you both forever<3.

I have always wanted to share my story, one that has been ongoing for years. Today's society and diet culture paints the picture that eating disorders are not a threat. I am releasing this podcast because my eating disorder has taken over years of my life, and its time for me to share my struggles to those willing to listen. I chose to release this podcast during NEDA Week 2023 because its time we build awareness around such a complex mental health disorder. By the time this podcast is released, I will be in month 6 of my recovery journey from anorexia nervosa. I have never hosted a podcast, so at times it may not be top tier material, but this is my unfiltered story.
