This week, Aleen is joined by Lee Tilghman aka @leefromamerica. Lee tells us about her journey as an OG wellness influencer – she shares what her day-to-day was like and how her own health was suffering BTS, while she was publicly being considered a “wellness guru” on social media. Next, Lee shares how both social media and the wellness industries consumed her, and what ultimately brought her to go on a “healing hiatus” to seek professional help for Orthorexia. Aleen and Lee then talk about the power the diet industry has on us through marketing and education, why the “Health at Every Size” approach to wellness was never taught to us as kids and how *wellness burnout* is absolutely real. To end the episode, Lee shares why she came back to Instagram, what her new outlook on sharing on social media looks like now, and they also chat about some of her latest thought-provoking posts about things like not needing to make every one of your hobbies into a job and comparing counting likes on instagram to counting calories.
