Hi cuties, Trigger warning!

Please swipe to the bottom to access resources! In this episode, we talked about different types of eating disorders, dwelt on some of the personal stories about binge eating, and wanted to have an honest conversation about how to support someone with an eating disorder along with things you should not be saying or doing when supporting someone with an eating disorder. It was tough to write this script and I had to come back to it so many different times to get it done. It was heartbreaking to learn more, try to come with examples, and listen to so many other people's experiences to write this. If you are struggling right now, please know that you are not alone.
