#18: In this episode we discuss Eating Disorder recovery, and the parallels with Substance Use Disorder. Along with her own recovery journey, Erika shares how meditation became a daily practice after years of resistance, and her road to a healthy relationship with food, exercise and body image.
As a yoga instructor and community builder, Erika's willingness to be vulnerable empowers others to release shame and own their stories. She is on a mission to create safer communities by raising awareness of language that is supportive versus harmful, particularly in spaces such as fitness, where diet culture is so common.
Far from a lecture on "what not to say," this episode offers tools to support yourself and others while welcoming nothing but grace for the times we unintentionally cause harm with our words.
