In today's episode of When it shifted , I sit down with Ainslie Law—a passionate social services professional, mental health advocate, and survivor—who takes us through her journey from silent pain to empowered purpose.
From high-achieving perfectionism to the life-threatening grip of anorexia and bulimia, Ainslie shares what it was like to grow up feeling unseen, how eating disorders became her way to cope with unspoken emotions, and what healing has actually looked like from the inside out.
But this isn’t just a story about hardship—it's one of resilience, radical self-inquiry, and reclaiming a life worth living. Ainslie's story is a powerful reminder that healing doesn’t always mean things are fixed. Sometimes, it means finally learning how to choose yourself again and again.
