On this week’s show we have the honor of speaking with Martel Catalano, the Founder and Executive Director of Beyond My Battle, an amazing non profit dedicated to reducing the stress of serious illness, rare disease, and disability through emotional support and educational resources rooted in mindfulness, awareness, and compassion. We talk with Martel about her diagnosis as a pre teen with Retinitis Pigmentosa, her battle with eating disorders in the years following, and how she has found homeostasis now in her early 30’s. Martel is a very special human, and this conversation was so rich and complex, and we thank her for her wisdom and vulnerability.Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

Martel Catalano- "Beyond My Battle"

This unique podcast explores the intersection of food and grief. Mother-daughter cohosts Bobbie Comforto and Zahra Tangorra are joined by a special guest who shares their personal experience with loss, grief, and heartbreak, and how food factored into their journey. Bobbie has worked as a psychotherapist specializing in bereavement and trauma for over 30 years, but before entering the world of grief counseling Bobbie was a culinary entrepreneur. Zahra Tangorra is a Brooklyn-based chef and restaurant consultant. They share a deep love of food and a personal understanding of its connection to grief.

Change and loss are inevitable in all our lives. The relationships that we as humans have surrounding food and loss are universal and relatable across different cultures, beliefs, and lifestyles. It is our individual adaptation to the things we cannot control that makes us unique. Processing exposes and digests these commonalities and differences in each episode.
