Summary
"I was using food and exercise as a way to get control of something, anything. Because the rest of my life felt completely out of control."
In this episode, we're honored to have a courageous voice join us – Errin Witherspoon, an amazing alumni of our Recovery Warriors programs. She takes us through the transformative arc of her journey, and how she found power in her passion of art and creativity in recovery.
As we dive deep into conversation, Errin shares her battle with various forms of eating disorders and the relentless pursuit of a control that seemed perpetually out of reach, up until the pivotal moment therapy shed light on her quest for control through food and exercise.
Throughout, Errin explores the importance of embracing imperfection, both in our creative endeavors and our body image healing process, and reflects on her newfound career, peace, and the blossoming of her relationships and artistic expression - all fruits of her liberation from the shackles of her eating disorder.
So tune in, draw strength from Errin’s story, and learn how her journey towards self-acceptance and embracing imperfection might illuminate your own path to recovery.
