Lynn Chen: Battling Body Image and Finding Recovery

I don't know what the journey will be to get out of that hole, but I know it's possible, because I've been there several times, and being kind to yourself during those moments is just so important.
Imagine growing up with constant comments about your weight, only to step into Hollywood and face even harsher scrutiny. That's the reality Lynn Chen lived. In this episode of 'Back from Broken', Lynn opens up about her tumultuous relationship with food and body image. From early childhood pressures to Hollywood's relentless standards, she developed an eating disorder that threatened to consume her life.
But Lynn found a unique path to healing, one that defied conventional methods and led her to a place of self-acceptance and recovery. Despite losing her agent and manager, Lynn's story is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest times, hope and recovery are within reach. Her candid discussion sheds light on the importance of boundaries and self-care, making this episode a must-listen for anyone grappling with similar issues.
