May 16, 2024How Eating Disorders Are Linked to Trauma and How EMDR Therapy Can Help with Patty Cabot
Ep. 147 In this episode of Fearless Fridays with Maryann, special guest Patty Cabot shares her 20-year struggle with weight fluctuations and how she discovered that her eating disorder was a result of childhood sexual abuse. Through therapies like EMDR and chiropractic care, Patty embarked on a journey of healing and self-discovery. She emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries and finding a supportive tribe. Patty's memoir, "Not That Girl Anymore," is available for free on her website, where she aims to provide hope and resources for those who have experienced trauma.

The Misconception of Physical Appearance Dictating Love
Patty Cabot's sincere narrative begins with a raw admission of what many individuals struggle with silently—body image and its perceived effect on love and relationships. Her journey mirrors a society that fosters a narrow understanding of attractiveness, which becomes mistakenly synonymous with romantic success.
Patty reflects, "I found myself unacceptable when I was heavy," a confession that slices through the complex layers of self-esteem. This psychological battle is a climate ripe for eating disorders, often manifesting as coping mechanisms for emotional turbulence. Regardless of Patty's prowess in dieting, the persistent cycles of weight gain and loss signified a deeper, unresolved discord.

Short Bio from Patty Cabot
After gaining and losing 50 to 75 pounds every two years or so since my teens, I decided I needed professional help. In 2005, at the age of 38, I started working with a therapist that specializes in eating disorders, trauma and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). She thought my issues with food and weight were a symptom of a much deeper issue: my childhood sexual abuse.
I was sexually abused by family members until I was 10. For much of my life I would have chosen death before revealing that, so deep was my shame. But I was desperate to find love and believed resolving my weight was key. So began the next 12 years of my life working with my therapist using EMDR, a chiropractor to release trapped fight or flight responses, a sex therapist and group therapy for sexual abuse.

May 10, 2024 Facing the Odds: Genetic Testing, Preventative Surgeries, and Redefining Womanhood with Eva Moon
Ep. 146 How would you face the decision of life-saving surgery when your sense of womanhood is on the line? Join Eva Moon’s inspiring journey of strength, resilience, and redefining identity after a genetic breast cancer diagnosis.
In this episode of Fearless Fridays with Maryann, Eva Moon shares her inspiring journey of facing a genetic mutation that increased her risk of breast and ovarian cancer. After undergoing a double mastectomy and total hysterectomy, Eva turned to humor and creativity to express her experience, writing and performing a one-woman musical comedy. She also discusses her novel, "Pinocchio's Guide to the End of the World," which explores themes of identity and acceptance. Eva's story is a testament to finding strength and purpose in the face of difficult circumstances.
Bold Choices: The Impact of Genetic Knowledge on Health and Identity
The stark revelation of an 87% risk of breast cancer and a 55% risk of ovarian cancer forced Eva Moon into action but spurred an identity crisis: "Where does that leave me? Will I still be a woman?" These lingering worries about femininity, acceptance by others, and career implications underscore the anxiety wrapped around genetic foresight. Moon's subsequent double mastectomy and hysterectomy sent her into a spiral, yet she emerged with newfound resilience. She recalls, "My mutant superpower was being able to save my own life."

About the Guest
Eva Moon is an author, humorist, songwriter, internationally produced playwright, award winning, optioned screenwriter, and performer. She is a former blogger for the Huffington Post. Her plays and musicals have been staged across the US and UK, and her solo musical show, “The Mutant Diaries: Unzipping My Genes” is available streaming on Amazon. Her first novel, which follows the adventures of a grown-up human Pinocchio in fascist Europe between the world wars, was released in March 2023.
