In today’s episode of Food for Thought, I sat down with Katya Kleinhenz, who bravely shares her eating disorder and recovery journey. She opens up about what her recovery process has looked like and how theater has been a powerful catalyst in her healing. So often, people lose sight of their passions when they’re deep in their illness, and while this happened for Katya, she fought her way back.

Thank you, Katya, for sharing your story and reminding us all that recovery is not only possible but worth fighting for. You are truly an inspiration, and I loved getting the chance to talk with you.
