Another uniquely wonderful episode
I am so grateful to have livia’s podcast that is focusing on The important components to live a fulfilling life with bothASD and ED. Recovery is especially confusing and uncertain for me with both aspects of ME. Livia is consistently showing me what courage and knowledge are about.
Insightful and helpful
Livia does an amazing job of interviewing and educating. She is extremely insightful and knowledgeable on ASD, disordered eating, and more. I initially found this podcast as I was especially interested in the interview with Kelly Mahler and ended up learning so much more!
