[05:07] How her healing with her food and body affected her response

FYI: rebellious eating is NOT a bad thing and it is NORMAL.

On this week's podcast, I am really excited to have Julie Burnett, a social worker at The Balanced Practice to talk about the intersection fo body politics, body advocacy and eating disorder recovery
In this podcast, we dive deeper on the system that contributes to body distrust and issues. We talk about body politics and advocacy * please note that this podcast was recorded before the Overturn of Roe v. Wade therefore it was not addressed in this episode*
Julie is a awesome human being and therapist. She offers 1:1 services at The Balanced Practice for folk who struggle with disordered eating/eating disorders.
We hope you enjoy this episode!!! IF you do- please leave us a review:)
