Co-hosts Catherine and Francis were joined by Liz Toland, RDN (bio below), at Ellwood Thompson's grocer in Richmond, Virginia for a live podcast! Acting as emcee, Catherine facilitated a poignant discussion about eating disorder treatment, recovery, body image, nutrition, and finding space to heal. The audience was able to interact and ask questions (unfortunately the internet wasn't on our side and we missed most of those questions!), and Catherine, Francis, and Liz were able to interact and respond directly with folx. It was a room full of energy and vulnerability, and an evening of important discussion. We were so thankful for Liz's participation, and for all those who were present to listen, learn, provide their insights and ask questions.
