In this episode, I walk you through my 10-year battle with an eating disorder and how I found (cultivated) peace with food and with my body. I am not a licensed eating disorder (ED) specialist or mental health professional - nor am I YOURS. The following is simply what happened to work for me. Discretion is advised. If you or someone you know if struggling, the following are amazing resources to seek help: - NEDA is a nonprofit organization- you can find free/low-cost support options and even call, text, chat online nationaleatingdisorders.org - ANAD (National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders) is another non-profit, organization providing free, peer support services to anyone struggling with an eating disorder anad.org This is a safe space, if you have a question you want answered on my podcast, email samplanpod(at)gmail.com to submit. I am always here to help and support YOU - because that is what life is all about!
