Hi, everybody. Welcome to We Can Do Hard Things. Today, we are re-airing. Probably the

0:12.2

episode that has been the biggest, maybe, marker of change in my life in the last five

0:20.2

years, episode 165. It's called Glenens Diagnosis and What's Next. It's the episode in which

0:28.2

I tell you all about my anorexia diagnosis. It's the only episode of We Can Do Hard Things

0:36.5

that I've ever listened to from start to finish. And I chose it to re-air because I felt proud

0:47.6

of it because I felt proud of how honest I was. I felt proud of how unbelievably beautiful

2:59.1

making a devastating announcement about my mental health. Okay. So what we're going to do today

3:10.4

is I am going to tell you Pod Squad what is going on in my life of recent diagnosis that

3:18.3

I got that has changed my life in many ways. And I have been kind of alluding to it in

3:27.2

some episodes from last year. But I didn't feel ready to talk about it. And then over time, it

3:37.0

became impossible for me not to talk to you about it because it is so it's everything that's
