Episode 40: Because I'm a Libra w/ Anna Nicole (Fatphobia, Treatment, and ED Therapists)

This week Lauren is joined by Anna Nicole- an ED therapist who is in recovery themselves and a leader in the Fat Liberation community in Chicago.

Anna shares their experience in recovery while also being a therapist specializing in Eating Disorders and how that impacts their approach with clients. Talking about her time in treatment and the fatphobia that exists in those "safe" spaces. And touching on their group "Fat Babes of Chicago"- a fat liberation group in Chicago that holds events cultivating fat joy.

Full of laughs, while still holding room for vulnerable moments, sit down and eat your favorite meal with Lauren in another episode as she continues to explore recovery and eat the f*cking food.
