In this episode, Karin welcomes Dr. June Alexander, author, advocate, and writing mentor. After recovering from anorexia nervosa and other long term mental health challenges in 2006, June has written ten books on eating disorders, including her memoir, and has a PhD in Creative Writing. June’s website, The Diary Healer represents and attracts readership from all sectors. Having healed in adulthood from long term anorexia, comorbid chronic anxiety, PTSD and depression, June thrives in the joys of mainstream living and inspires hope in recovery at every age.

Join Karin and June for a discussion for a discussion on recovery later in life, June’s story of her eating disorder and recovery, defining what a “family” is (and is not), understanding fears brought on by motherhood, the healing effects from diary writing, the role of progress in the recovery journey, joining internal and external self to become whole, June’s recent novel, “A Girl Called Tim,” and much more!
