Note sull'episodio

In this deeply personal episode, I share my journey from normal childhood eating habits to a toxic obsession with calories and weight. I recount specific moments—like my secret food hiding tactics, dangerous purging attempts, and the intense drive that fueled my athletic success—all rooted in a complex mix of societal pressure and internal frustration. Eventually, my desire to control food evolved into an all-consuming battle, impacting my health, mind, and relationships.

I never thought I'd talk about my eating disorder so openly ... sometimes, the hardest step is just asking for help. Stay tuned for more unfiltered talk.
