TW: eating disorders (restriction + binging & purging), body image issues, depression, perfectionism, shame, self harmWelcome back to Mindful Minds! This week we have the amazing Fatema Jivanjee-Shakir (she/her) on the podcast to talk about how South Asian Cultures impact one’s susceptibility to disordered eating and how it impact one’s mental health. Fatema brings such nuance and gentleness to such a sensitive and multifaceted topic.
