Emily August, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor of Literature at Stockton University, a published poet, and a recovering food addict with 5+ years of back-to-back abstinence. Emily does not judge her recovery success in terms of health outcomes, weight loss, body size, or other diet-culture/body-image metrics. These, she argues, are the wrong focus and are, in fact, oppressive. Emily’s perspective is different from traditional food addiction and eating disorder recovery approaches and is here to hold space for those that are not served by either. This interview just might be one of the most unique I have ever conducted.Florence's courses & coaching programs can be found at:www.FlorenceChristophers.comConnect with Florence on:FACEBOOK | TWITTER | INSTAGRAM | YOUTUBE
