@leighannhealey hour: The Journey of Unlearning – Bodybuilding to Body Acceptance

⚠️TW: Eating Disorder

 We wish we couldn’t relate to Leigh’s reality of wanting to be loved and popular among others around her, and yet it’s a story most women know all too well.

Thanks to the world’s standards, we often equate our worth and acceptance to the size of our body. Leigh believed those views for herself, creating an unhealthy relationship with food in order to minimize the size of her body. Fueled by her toxic relationship and the need to be “skinny”, she entered the world of competitive body building. 

Today’s episode is a story of learning to love yourself, finding acceptance, navigating grief and learning from life’s lessons. Join us for Leigh’s powerful story of her time in treatment, the importance of loving yourself unconditionally, and finding new love (in the most unexpected way).
