I need to like, calm down, you know, and that's really my hope for it is that people see it and realize that they're definitely not alone in any way.
Katie Berger’s story is one of resilience and creativity. In this episode of Real Recovery Radio, Kat Peters takes the reins to interview Katie, a professional actress and playwright based in St. Petersburg, Florida. Katie opens up about her struggle with anorexia nervosa, a battle that began in her late teens and early twenties. She shares how the disorder not only affected her health but also strained her friendships and created a toxic sense of competition within the theatre community.
But Katie’s story doesn’t end in despair. Through determination and the support of an exceptional treatment team, she overcame anorexia and channeled her experience into something beautiful—her original musical, 'Full'. The musical, which has been performed in Tampa, is a raw and honest portrayal of her journey towards recovery. It aims to spark open conversations about eating disorders and provide a space for people to share their struggles.
Katie’s interview is both inspiring and informative, offering hope to those who feel isolated in their battles with disordered eating. Tune in to hear more about Katie's journey and how she’s using her art to make a difference.
