Happy December, everyone! The holidays are just around the corner, and we are *almost* done with this whirlwind of a year. As the 2020 holiday season will surely bring some changes to our usual celebrations, I thought I'd create a quick survival guide for people to get through (and hopefully enjoy!) the holidays. This guide is geared towards those affected by eating disorders, and those who won't be able to travel home or be with family due to Covid-19. I hope you find it helpful, and I wish you a healthy, happy, and safe holiday season.

In this episode, I go into depth with my own eating disorder recover story. I discuss how it developed, what treatment was like, and how advocating for eating disorder awareness and education has changed my life for the better. I also dive into a discussion about cultural pressures in the US (MN and OR) Dubai, and Denmark— so there is an added international element as well. I hope you enjoy it! :)

In this week's episode of the Life with Color podcast, I sit down with Ally Galloway and talk with her about Health at Every Size, Diet Culture, the Body Positivity Movement,  as well as her own recovery story!

As a gym owner and life coach, Ally works directly within the health and fitness industry; however, Ally's approach is unique: she helps people celebrate their bodies' strength and ability, while combating Diet Culture's toxic messages. When Ally isn't at work, she helps organize the Bend, Oregon NEDA Walk with the National Eating Disorder Association as a way to bring education, resources and support to Central Oregon. Ally is a fierce advocate for eating disorder recovery, and a wonderful friend! I hope you enjoy this week's episode!
