“Okay, if these people believe in me, then I need to maybe learn to believe in myself, even just a little bit, or at least have hope that things can change.”
In this episode, I'm joined by registered associate nutritionist and author Joshua Hills for a heartfelt conversation about how his mom's decades-long battle with anorexia shaped their family, and how recovery has transformed their lives. Together, we explore the far-reaching impact of food struggles, the role diet culture plays in fueling shame and disordered eating, and why healing is about so much more than food. Joshua shares powerful lessons about compassion, open conversations, and hope, reminding us that no matter where we fall on the spectrum of food struggles, recovery can lead to greater freedom, deeper connection, and a life filled with joy instead of fear.
