In this episode, we kick off a new series on the podcast that focuses on the power of storytelling with the help of authors who originally had their stories published on the TWLOHA blog. Today, we’re hearing from Bianca Mujica, who talks about her journey with disordered eating. In the second half of the episode, she and host Lindsay Kolsch discuss the impact of societal beauty standards, how eating disorders are oftentimes not recognized as a mental illness, and the important role counseling played in Bianca’s recovery.
