Struggles to Self-Love

----------

In this deeply personal and empowering episode of Don’t Trust the Mirror: From Struggles to Self-Love, we take a journey through Maureen Kritzer-Lange's transformative story. From grappling with body image issues and an eating disorder to becoming a trusted psychoanalyst and podcast creator, this episode dives into how one woman turned her pain into a passion for helping others. Starting with her early years, she shares how journaling became her lifeline and first love, leading her to pursue journalism at Syracuse University’s prestigious Newhouse School. With dreams of combining her love for writing and fashion, her path took a significant turn after finding a life-changing therapist through an article in Glamour magazine. Her recovery inspired her to study social work at NYU and dedicate over 25 years to helping women overcome eating disorders, build self-esteem, and develop positive body image.

Drawing from her own experience, she created the podcast My Secret Life with an Eating Disorder, which has evolved into Don’t Trust the Mirror—a safe space for honest conversations about anxiety, depression, disordered eating, and self-acceptance. In this episode, she reflects on her journey, and offers practical advice for listeners striving to embrace their authentic selves.

The healing power of journaling and self-reflection.

How to navigate the challenges of eating disorders and body image issues.

Tips for improving self-esteem and creating a positive relationship with food.

Stories and strategies from experts and guests to help you on your journey to self-love.
