33 - Eating Disorders and Post Partum

Guess who's back! On this episode of Paved with Gold, Callie returns to your ears (with baby in tow!) to talk about post-partum and how this time can be extremely difficult, especially for those who have a history of, or are in recovery for an eating disorder.

We also pick apart the pressures to 'bounce back', birth trauma and toxic portrayal of perfect motherhood that social media pushes.

*Trigger warning: this episode discusses birth trauma, quotes from people who experienced post-partum eating disorders and discussions about pregnancy.
