Pockets Of Time

When you're caught in the grips of an eating disorder, it feels like you're drowning while everyone else is breathing, doesn't it? Today we're shining a spotlight on this secretive struggle with the help of our courageous guest, Autumn Berrier. Autumn, a gifted photographer, unveils the raw realities of her journey, starting with a high-school desire to fit in that spiraled into a debilitating fixation with restrictive eating and obsessive exercise.
Unleashing hushed conversations about the expectations of societal and familial pressures on body image, this episode ventures into the struggles faced by individuals living with conditions like anorexia and exercise bulimia. As Autumn peels back the layers of her own transformation towards self-acceptance, we’re reminded of the importance of gratitude, self-love, and the potent power of affirmations. We've all heard that words have power, but do we truly realize their potential in manifesting our beliefs and desires?
In the final leg of our journey, we reflect on the importance of fostering communities that resonate with our struggles, reminding us that we aren't alone. Autumn’s steady ascent from the depths of her eating disorder to a place of self-love and acceptance serves as potent inspiration for those walking a similar path. So buckle up, open your hearts, and prepare to be moved by this episode as we embrace the power of shared stories, spreading love and positivity one conversation at a time.
