*graphic warning: discussions about eating disorders, body dysmorphia, and excessive exercise*

hi guys!! i'm rounding out the year with something very important to me and it took a lot of courage to post this. i wanted to get personal and talk about my recent struggles with an eating disorder in hopes that it can inspire anyone else out there who is also struggling. while i have always hated showing weakness, this is something that has affected my life for a long time and i was finally able to accept that i can't always be perfect, especially when i'm struggling. i feel that throughout the difficult process of recovery i was able to put a stop to something that could have done a lot of irreparable damage and therefore i was able to bounce back relatively quickly. while it is still a major struggle in my daily life, i cannot begin to express how proud i am for recovering as it has literally brought back my happiness, ability to connect with people, and confidence. i hope you guys find this episode helpful and if you are struggling with an eating disorder i hope i can inspire you to also seek help and begin the process of taking back your life because you only get one.

if you or anyone you know is struggling, my dms are open and for additional resources see: https://anad.org/get-help/eating-disorders-helpline/

new mic!!!! the sound quality is so good i hope it makes listening a lot better. anyways, today i am talking about habits i'm bringing into the new year like complimenting people more, less impulse buying, and spending more time in the ocean. i'm also leaving behind negative habits like high expectations, wellness crap, and food restriction. hope you guys enjoy!!
