Welcome back to Our Free Bodies! In this week's episode, I will debunk the myths and false stereotypes of eating disorders. From talking about the audience of eating disorders to the psychological aspect of eating disorders, falsifying these stereotypes can better a person's willingness to seek help and feel "safer" in dealing with their mental issues. I will also talk about several updates to my life/eating disorder recovery, including achieving summer goals (making memories!), getting an internship, being a writer for an eating disorder magazine, missing skating, etc. Hope you all enjoy!

Welcome back to Our Free Bodies! In this week's episode, I will be introducing the concept of intuitive eating. In my opinion, this multi-faceted eating style is a powerful and revolutionary tool that changes the way people think about food and its main purpose. It is also being incorporated into more studies, research, and eating disorder recovery journeys, including my own! I will first discuss current updates of my recovery journey, including the fulfillment of certain summer goals and major improvements in my mindset towards my body. Then, I will move on to defining intuitive eating (and what it is not), as well as stating its 10 major principles. This is a huge topic, so there will be subsequent episodes that will further discuss the philosophy behind intuitive eating, including body appreciation and implications behind diet culture. Enjoy!

Hi guys! In this week's episode, we have an incredible guest on our monthly collaboration segment, Free Discussion: Haley Raines!! In this wonderful casual conversation, we discuss her ED + recovery journey, veganism, self-love mantras, her purpose on YouTube... and much more! As a YouTuber, she has amassed over 34,000 subscribers and has been an inspiration to so many people struggling with eating disorders (such as myself).

This week's episode discusses fear foods. EVERYONE is scared of something: heights, insects, the dark, etc. We are going to talk about the fear of food. From pasta to donuts, restrictive dietary rules have consumed Chloe's life and deprived her of happy moments in life. But with the right mentality and a short guide provided in the episode, Chloe reinforces the idea that tough people are not created in easy situations and that our feelings/dreams to have a healthy relationship with food are valid! Hope you enjoy this intimate discussion.
