Today, one of my best friends, Natalie, is here to join us and give a take on what it is like to know someone with an ED. Natalie gives in depth details on her personal experiences, as well as a few stories she recalls from our friendship, and what it was like to know me through my journey.

I have known Natalie since roughly 2005. We met in pre-K and have stayed in touch ever since. We have been through many journeys of life together and have had so many memorable experiences with each other. We were in a duo band in high school, we worked together, we remained in contact with each other even when Natalie moved thousands of miles across the US, and she was the maid of honor at my wedding! Thank you, Natalie, for joining today!

Today I talk about a time in my life pre recovery where I was dealing with the worst of my symptoms of anorexia. I talk about how this story strengthened my relationship with my body and how I've come so far from that moment.

Today I am joined by my wonderful friend, Kennedy. She will be bringing us the perspective of what it is like to have a friend with an ED and what she has done as a friend to help. I hope that Kennedy's words of wisdom resigned with you in some sort of way and you gained lots of new information out of this episode! :)

I have known Kennedy since 2021, where I met her through my church. She was my bible study leader who I became very close to! We've worked together, shared many fun moments together, and she was even one of the bridesmaids in my wedding!

In todays bonus episode, we take a look at the perspective of a spouse/partner who has someone in their life with an ED. Today I am joined with my very own HUSBAND! Whoop whoop! In this episode, Lewis gives you an in-depth look on what it is like to have a wife who has a history with ED's and who actively struggles with one. He gives you great advice on how to help your significant other in tough times with an ED and gives you tips on what is the best thing to say to your partner.

I have known Lewis since early 2021. We met online, and when we finally met in person, we fell in love. We began dating in early 2021, got engaged by the end of the year, then got married December 2022! Throughout every stage of life I have shared with Lewis, he stuck by my side when it came to the numerous breakdowns/confusion/frustrations I had with food. He has been able to direct me from the wrong paths and has helped keep me accountable since the start!

In todays bonus episode, we take a look at the perspective of a family member, and how it is for them to know someone in their own family who actively struggles with an ED. For a real world example, I brought in my very own sister-in-law, Ali, to give you guys a look inside her perspective of what it feels like to have someone in her family struggle with food.

Ali is a registered nurse, birth mentor, and doula based out of Cleveland, TN (@believersbirth on IG). I've known her since roughly 2016, before she married my brother in 2017. She has been such a huge help in my recovery, and she here to share more on that in this episode!
