In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, we're spending this week talking about the deadliest mental illness: eating disorders. Every 52 minutes, someone dies of an eating disorder and ⅓ people only get access to care

I'm honored to share this exceptional conversation with Johanna Kandel, Founder/CEO of National Alliance for Eating Disorders.

If you've struggled or know someone who has, this conversation is a must listen. We touch on:

  • What The Alliance does
  • Johanna's journey
  • Why treatment is a privilege
  • Tips for those who are currently struggling
  • Tips for those who are watching someone else struggle
