We introduce Season Twos first guest, Janine Stella, founder of StellaMix Podcast Production. This episode features an incredibly raw and honest conversation about the relentless battle against eating disorders. Janine shares her journey from childhood trauma to finding solace in food, which resulted in a 15-year battle with bulimia. She reveals how her mother's tragic death and her father's illness shaped her relationship with food, leading to years of suffering in silence. The discussion delves deep into the challenges of recovery, the stigma surrounding eating disorders, and the importance of seeking help.
