Recovering From an Eating Disorder with Layla Gama The Women who Flourish Podcast

    • Self-Improvement

Hey everyone! Happy New Year! So excited for this first episode for 2022. 

We'll start this year by tackling eating disorder. And in this episode, I am joined by Layla Gama. Layla is a Saudi-American yoga instructor living in Dubai who recovered from bulimia - an eating disorder characterized by binge eating followed by purging, and excessive concern with body shape and weight. In this episode we discuss what an eating disorder is, the pressure around being a certain shape or size, how culture impacts the way we see our bodies, as well as Layla's journey of self-love and recovering from bulimia, and leaving her editorial career to start her own business as a yoga teacher.

Layla was also a client of my 1:1 coaching program 'Living Boldly.'
