In this episode, I dive into eating disorders, focusing on my personal experience with anorexia nervosa. This topic can be triggering, so please take care of yourself—feel free to skip or seek support if needed. Remember, your well-being is most important.

I discuss common myths about eating disorders, aiming to raise awareness, clear up stigmas, and offer hope for recovery. Everyone’s journey is unique, and my goal is to share from a place of love and growth.

Myths Debunked:

• Myth #1: Eating disorders only affect women.

• Myth #3: You have to be underweight to have an eating disorder.
• Myth #4: Eating disorders are just a phase.
• Myth #5: Eating disorders are caused by poor parenting.
• Myth #6: You need a professional diagnosis to have an eating disorder.
• Myth #7: People with eating disorders are seeking attention.
• Myth #8: Recovery is quick and easy.

Final Thoughts:

Recovery is possible, and every step forward counts. You are stronger than you realize, and you are worthy of love, support, and healing. You’re not alone - let’s rise together.
