Summary
Fellow podcaster Kaila Prins (Finding Our Hunger) joins us to discuss why having an identity as a "healthy" eater kept her from getting help for her eating disorder, and how she finally started down the path to recovery.
Kaila Prins is a certified health and wellness coach and the host of Finding Our Hunger, a podcast about eating disorder recovery and Health at Every Size. She has recovered from 13 years of anorexia, orthorexia, EDNOS (eating disorder not otherwise specified), and exercise addiction, and now helps others to recover through her podcast, blog, coaching, and freelance writing. Find her on Twitter @performingwoman.
