Growing Season Ep 1: About Me! How I Healed My Relationship w/ Food & Body Image

Welcome to the first episode of It's Growing Season! In this episode I introduce myself and how I healed my relationship with food and body image. I discuss the negative physical, mental, and social impacts associated with diet culture and my experiences in recovering from an eating disorder.

“Extreme dieting and compulsive exercising are normalized. People in thin bodies are placed on a pedestal while those in larger bodies are shamed and stigmatized. As a society, our internalized weight bias pressurizes far too many people, especially young, impressionable girls, to strive for unrealistic standards of beauty.”
