Summary
"I had so much body grief and body resentment at this time that I completely lost my way. My body image took a huge hit. And a huge hit in terms of my eating disorder. I had so much grief that I was out of control. My body was out of control. I just needed to get to a place where I accepted that I needed help."
In today's episode, we're spotlighting the courageous and inspiring Nikki, a long-time member of the Courage Club who writes about her journey of recovering from anorexia and mental health stigma in the medical field on her blog "Squash Stigma Not Fat!."
Nikki's journey is filled with resilience, compassion, and acceptance. She shares her experiences with body image at an early age, the challenges of midlife body changes, and the small victories that have kept her moving forward making progress.
Join us as we delve into Nikki's story and discover the wisdom she's gained and new purpose she's found by experiencing the grief and going through the darkness.
