This episode's guest is Gillian Johnson, the founder of Recovery Meet-Ups. Recovery Meet-Ups is a virtual, monthly meet-up initiative that connects high schoolers in recovery from disordered eating. First, Sydney has always wanted the WONDER podcast to be about elevating the voices of youth working to create change in their communities, and Gillian is doing just that. Second, Gillian and her friends are raising awareness about something that isn’t openly talked about, yet affects so many, and Recovery Meet-Ups also focuses on the importance of community, which you all know is near and dear to the BTCYI team. When people share their own life experiences, and stories, this helps others see they're not alone, but it’s also an important part of the healing process for themselves.
