episode 8: eating disorders

season finale. 8 weeks. we made it.

today, i’m opening up the most vulnerable side to myself and sharing my story of how i struggled with an eating disorder when i was 16. this was something that i needed to do on my own time, on my own terms, and when i was ready.
recovery isn’t linear and it is far from easy and perfect. i still struggle to this day with body dysmorphia, anxiety, stress, and how i feel. the mindset i am trying to have now, that i didn’t have for years or struggled to understand is:
you have to love your body in every stage it’s in. you are not going to look the same every day and you are meant to be where you are today. focusing on the insecurities that i have for myself always lead me down a rabbit hole of negativity. i’m learning to find strength in the obstacles that have chosen to block my life path.

i am wanting to take back my narrative of life. for so many years i lost who i was and it hurts to watch my younger self hurt so much when no one knew what i was going through. eating disorders aren’t something that go away easily and in a sense, it always sticks with you. but i’m embracing the highs and lows and trying to live presently each day.

if you or anyone you know may be struggling with an eating disorder or any other type of mental health struggles, big or small, know that i know what it’s like and so many others do too. you are strong. you are beautiful. you are enough.
talking about it is not easy, but it gets easier when you know you are not alone.

thank you to everyone who has listened to any or all episodes of this “podcast” and being there to listen to the human me. this has opened my eyes to the opportunities of starting a conversation and being there for one another.

just being WE has been quite the journey. let’s see how this year goes and where we will be.

q: what is "Just Being WE" ?
this is a podcast, but not really a podcast.
let me explain.
it’s more about capturing a conversation and allowing a safe space for others to feel comfortable and seen. this season, in our 8 episodes, we are going to be talking about topics such as mental health, stress, anxiety and also I (kaycee) am going to be sharing my story and the things that I have dealt with as I’ve been growing up through this crazy thing we call life.
I hope that this can open up more conversations and can be a positive light to whoever may be listening. know that you are never alone in what you may be going through and we are here to share, listen, and see you for you. this podcast is a look into my life journal and just like it— it’s imperfect.

just keep being you, as we are
Just Being WE.
