Wonderfully honest and intelligent podcast
This is an essential podcast about eating disorders.The discussions are thoughtful,insightful, and extremely honest. Lisa and Diana are smart and deeply humane hosts with a sense of humor. They don’t mince words or talk about ED while walking on egg shells. They speak from experience and are unapologetically frank. It’s a must listen for people interested in the roots, damages, and raw experience of eating disorders.
Hunger Trap Review
Diana & Lisa are very insightful and intelligent! I have enjoyed listening and learning this season. Can’t wait for the next one!
We all need to listen to this great podcast!
I have been following these two lovely ladies for a short while now and related to their stories and subject matters instantly. I love their ability to balance the subject from their two POV , which ultimately are quite similar. They bring up the topics in which some of us deem taboo (or society tries to convince us of that) . The guests are a great balance and overall it is just so relatable and a HEALTHY discussion we should all be having!
