27: My Story - eating disorder recovery, the "healthy friend", and athletics
Abbey answers a common question she receives from her audience, "what's your story?". In today's episode, Abbey takes us back to her days as a senior in high school running club track, through college, and to present day. She discusses the ways her identity as "the athlete" turned into the "healthy friend", how eating "for health" turned into competing in bodybuilding, and when she began to recover from her eating disorder. This is a very vulnerable episode in which Abbey shares things she never has on social media.
