In this episode of the February Eating Disorders series, Ally Rae Pesta joins me to share her journey with her eating disorder which started over 10 years ago. 

Ally emphasizes the importance of empowerment in recovery and shares her experiences, from denial and control to recognizing the need for help and embarking on her recovery journey. 

She provides insight into her key stages of recovery, addresses the importance of destigmatising eating disorders, discusses the significance of community, and shares the details of her memoir, 'Beyond my Body'.
