HEALING IS IMPERFECT
Oftentimes, we think of recovery as culminating in a golden moment where we’re suddenly liberated from the chains of our eating disorder and everything is forevermore good and well. In this piece, Naomi Devlin reminds us that this couldn’t be further from the truth—HEALing is messy and confusing, and that’s totally okay. We can be struggling AND worthy at the same time, and embracing our human “imperfection” is incredibly freeing.
REPAIRING MY RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD
In this deeply impactful piece, Sydney Johnson highlights the link between obsessive-compulsive disorder and eating disorders, instigating a conversation sorely needed in recovery spaces. We are furthermore taken on her courageous journey to find her most authentic, liberated self—the self that makes lifelong memories and empowers others to wholeheartedly embrace themselves.
