In honor of National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, I’ve decided to dedicate today’s episode to this growing crisis. I’ll dispel some of the myths associated with this topic while, also, addressing its ugly reality and dark secrets.
“Eating disorders don’t have a set look. You can’t see mental health.” ~Chalene Johnson
You’ll find out…
