Mikele is young, beautiful and smart. She is also a bulimic and has been since her early teens. In today's episode, Mikele shares her experience as a First Nations and Maltese woman and the impact her disease has on every area of her life. How it's seen as privileged and a choice, often misunderstood and harshly judged. Mikele had been trying to outsmart her bulimia until Covid hit and it got out of control.
