Welcome to the very first episode of the Project Unlaced podcast. In this episode, I share my personal story: how athletics, COVID-19, and a search for control led me down the path of an eating disorder and REDs (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport).

I talk about:

• How my struggles with food and exercise began during the pandemic.
• The moment I realized something was wrong and entered treatment.
• What recovery has looked like: five years later, and still ongoing.
• Why these conversations about REDs and eating disorders are so often missing in sports.
• The mission behind Project Unlaced: to spread awareness, create dialogue, and change the culture around athletes’ health.

Thank you for listening and being part of this first step.

Together, we can start changing the conversation.
