Drop what you think you know about eating disorders and embrace what you don't.
Ever wondered what it's really like to live with an eating disorder? In this episode of 'We Are The Stigma', hosts Melissa and Cody Kreutz sit down with Kelly Douglas, a 24-year-old writer and advocate, to discuss her personal journey with anorexia nervosa. For four years, Kelly has battled this condition, and she’s been actively working on her recovery for the past eight months.
Her story is a raw and honest look at the complexities of disordered eating, from the root causes and triggers to the derogatory terms that can make the struggle even harder. Kelly doesn't just share her experiences; she opens up about the broader misconceptions surrounding eating disorders and how we can better support those affected. Whether you’re dealing with disordered eating yourself or trying to help a loved one, this episode offers invaluable insights.
You’ll hear about the realities of treatment and recovery, and Kelly’s perspective on the importance of vulnerability and community support. Listeners will also get a glimpse into Kelly's life beyond her advocacy work. She’s a freelance writer and editor for Unwritten, an online magazine dedicated to millennial life, and her work has been featured on numerous platforms including The Mighty, Thought Catalog, and MSN.
When she’s not destigmatizing health conditions, Kelly enjoys jamming out to pop music and dreaming of becoming a brunette Elle Woods. Tune in for an enlightening conversation that challenges what you think you know about eating disorders and invites you to embrace a more compassionate and inclusive mindset.
