The Just A Mom Podcast

Episode 4 is a powerful conversation with Stacy, a mom who has a daughter battling eating disorders.

Show Notes

I first met Stacy in august of 2021 when her daughter, Isabel, sang and spoke at the You Matter Festival (https://youmatterfestival.net/). We immediately bonded over the common experience of parenting a child with mental health issues.

Stacy and Isabel have been wonderfully candid about Isabel’s battle with Anorexia and Bulimia. They shared Isabel’s struggle on a Kansas City new station (https://www.kmbc.com/amp/article/kc-teen-who-struggled-with-anorexia-for-years-talks-about-moment-she-finally-got-help/36467872).
My conversation with Stacy was real and raw and can no doubt help someone.

Eating disorders are on the rise due to the COVID pandemic (https://www.yalemedicine.org/news/eating-disorders-pandemic). Parents, please listen to Stacy share her unfiltered account of parenting a beautiful young woman with an eating disorder.
