In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with Nancy Levine and her daughter Rachel Levine-Spates to discuss their powerful co-authored memoir, Light. Blending Nancy’s reflective narration with excerpts from Rachel’s raw and personal journal entries, Light traces a mother and daughter’s journey through the dark spiral of disordered eating and the long road to healing.

Rachel shares what it was like to see her teenage self through her mom’s lens, while Nancy opens up about the guilt, fear, and fierce love that fueled her desire to tell their story honestly. Together, they explore the process of turning pain into purpose—and the courage it took to put their truth on the page.

This interview is a must-watch for parents, mental health advocates, survivors, and anyone looking for proof that love and language can light a way out.
