In this episode, I open up about my seven-year battle with eating disorders, disordered eating, and body dysmorphia, which began at age 15. I share what it was like to keep it hidden for years to maintain control, and how I eventually realized that true healing would only come through honesty with myself.

At 22, I made the life-changing decision to go to an intensive out-patient therapy program, confronting my harsh food and body reality and choosing to prioritize my well-being. There were a lot of transformative steps I took in my early 20s to shift from disorder to balance. From mirror work and self-talk practices to trying new approaches with food, I found great tools to shift my mindset and life.

In my self-commentary, I share with you the tools that helped me recover. If you're struggling with disordered eating or have a difficult relationship with food or your body, tune in for insights, tips, and encouragement to begin your own healing journey.

In this deeply personal episode, I dive into my evolving relationship with God and how my perception of The Divine has transformed over the years. Raised in both Catholic and Christian traditions, I found myself leaving and returning to the church multiple times, only to ultimately embark on a spiritual journey of my own. From meditation and third eye expansion to multiple "dark nights of the soul," I’ve come to see God in everything and everyone around me.

Join me as I invite you to explore the universal essence — whether you call it God, Great Spirit, Allah, Source Energy, Love, Mother Nature, etc. — and to embrace the idea that heaven is not a distant place, but a state of being here and now. There are many paths to understanding and living in touch with The Divine, and I believe all of them are rooted in Love rather than Fear.
