Send us a text


In this episode, Lina is going to be talking about her eating
disorder journey and how it’s affected motherhood and shown up in
my motherhood journey.  This episode may be triggering to
those who have a history of eating disorders or who currently
have an eating disorder. She references anorexia, body
dysmorphia, and disordered eating. If you’re not ready to hear
this story, bookmark it for a later date when you’re
ready. 

Lina is 33 years old and the mom of a 2 year old. Her eating
disorder started at 13 years old. She struggled with anorexia
throughout high school and then adopted disordered eating habits
throughout college. She binge ate and then became orthorexic in
her 20s. 

Lina shares that she's not sure that someone ever truly recovers
from an eating disorder. She shares that while throughout
pregnancy and postpartum she was okay with her body changing,
most recently she's dipped into old eating disorder
habits.
