Hey guys, this is Joy. This is a bonus episode for Mental Health Awareness Week.

As most of you know, I am a mental health therapist. I've been practicing therapy for about 20 years.

And I sit down in this episode with my good friend and colleague Lisa Marib.

She's also a therapist and she's been practicing for about 15 years and working with

eating disorders as a specialty.

We answer your questions that you've

submitted. You guys really asked some amazing questions, so thank you for that. We

keep everything confidential. And you may remember Lisa from some past episodes we had

her and Natalia on with the eating disorder episodes we done in the past. I

linked those in the show notes if you want to go back and listen to those. If you or someone you love

is suffering from a mental health disorder diagnosis and you're just needing some help right now,

you can go to the National Institute for Mental Health

their website is NIMH.

alone and there's people out there to help you and there's people out there to listen

to you. Of course you can always email us girls gone wad at gmail.com if you want to ask me for assistance in helping you find
