  • Such a needed podcast!

    This podcast really highlights the often missed areas of nuance within the eating disorder field. There are so much social-justice related subjects that Allyson touches upon that are truly SO needed in terms of the broader discussion about eating disorders. Allyson is such a leader in our field, and her voice is such a gift. I cannot recommend her podcast highly enough!

  • Amazing, thoughtful, informative podcast

    This podcast speaks on so many issues that the recovery community often ignores. This is one of the first podcasts about recovery I have been able to truly relate to. I am so glad to have found this intersection of social justice and eating disorders. I cannot recommend this show highly enough. Please listen!

  • What’s missing from most ED podcasts

    Allyson does an excellent job centering justice in everything from the diverse backgrounds of guests she chooses to the nuanced conversations they have about topics that don’t get talked about enough in profit-driven systems that want to keep recovery light and fun. This podcast doesn’t shy away from real talk about the darker stuff but maintains hope and discusses how change can happen, too. I really appreciate that balance.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

68. Interpersonal Violence and Eating Disorders with Ericka Leonard, LCSW
Q: What patterns did you notice about those who experienced IPV?
Many survivors grew up in environments where healthy relationships were not modeled, making it hard for them to identify abuse as abuse, often leading to normalized behaviors they thought were normal.
68. Interpersonal Violence and Eating Disorders with Ericka Leonard, LCSW
Q: Can you share a little bit about the patterns you've noticed in survivors of IPV?
Survivors often experience more than one abusive relationship and face significant struggles when attempting to leave, often returning to their abusers due to a lack of support.
68. Interpersonal Violence and Eating Disorders with Ericka Leonard, LCSW
Q: What do you think are some of the, like, hardest and most rewarding parts of working with eating disorders?
Working with clients who live with eating disorders presents challenges due to societal pressures and stigmas related to body image, but it is rewarding when clients make personal growth and reconnect with their bodies.
73. No Body is Disposable: How Disability Justice & Emergent Strategy Changed My Life with Angela Montijo, LCSW
Q: How do you reconcile being a psych survivor while working in the mental health system?
I pursued my license to gain credibility in a system that values it, but I stress that lived experiences are powerful. I encourage clients to trust their experience and prioritize relational care over pathology.
73. No Body is Disposable: How Disability Justice & Emergent Strategy Changed My Life with Angela Montijo, LCSW
Q: What are disability justice and emergent strategy, and how have they impacted your life?
Disability justice centers marginalized experiences, advocating for interconnected struggles and interdependence as strengths. Emergent strategy focuses on small-scale actions and teaches that healing and relationships are experiments, emphasizing kindness and respect for true change.
