In this episode, I interview the inspiring Meg McCabe, a recovered eating disorder coach from Denver, Colorado. Meg uses her lived experience to empower others to choose recovery, engage in all stages of change and lead a life fuelled by self compassion. In this podcast, Meg shares powerful lessons she learned throughout her own recovery process and how her life transformed upon making healing her reality.
