Overcoming an Eating Disorder and Embracing a Healthy Transformation

Welcome to the Dangerous Women Podcast.

In today's episode, I open up about my decade-long struggle with an eating disorder starting from the age of 12. I share how comments about my body and food choices influenced my self-image and led to harmful behaviors. Through my journey of surgery, fitness training, and ultimately discovering kettlebells, I found a path towards self-acceptance and a healthier lifestyle. Meeting my husband Tim, a trainer, and working with a nutrition expert, Hillary, were pivotal in transforming my approach to food and exercise. Along the way, therapy played a critical role in healing my inner child and managing my anxiety. I also discuss the importance of setting boundaries, tracking progress, and working with experts to achieve your goals in a healthy way. Throughout this transformation, I've learned that the only person I need to like is myself, and that true health is about more than just physical appearance—it's about mental well-being and resilience.
