About this episode

In this heart-to-heart episode, Victoria is finally ready to open up about her recent body image struggles. As she's hinted at through her Instagram stories over the past few months, she’s been struggling more than she ever has since having her binge eating disorder. Because Real Pod is all about getting real, even though things might not always be pretty or inspiring, she’s sharing how she’s been feeling about her body in the most honest way possible, recognizing the fears and patterns she slipped back into. Finding comfort in knowing she’s not alone, she’s ready to share why this all started and how she’s working through it. Thank you for listening and holding space for the imperfect and important conversations! Let this be a reminder to hold on to self-acceptance, self-love, and peace. P.S. If you think this conversation could interfere with your process or mental health progress, feel free to save it for another time.
