All Things Body Image

We know how it can be when you are on a healing journey, you have your good days, your bad days, & your in-between days. We will always include a message, regardless of its content, because everyone is different and can be triggered by various things. No healing journey is the same.

Trigger Warnings for this episode: Eating Disorder. At one point, we discuss the notes/strategies we used to achieve the “perfect body.” Suicide.
