Summary and Bio:
Today’s episode continues our June theme of body image and self-worth. In this episode, Britt talks to Joy Nicholas about her relationship with her body and her eating disorder.

In this episode, Britt talks with Joy about:
“My life felt mixed up…here was something I could do. It made me feel like I was doing something right. It was this cycle.” Joy Nicholas
“I would say a sense of control or value, come from what we believe about ourselves.” Joy Nicholas
“I think the world has a vested interest in making you feel worthless. It gets you to buy more, and do more things. I always think - what are they trying to sell me right now? I think the world wants you to feel insecure. It feeds their agenda.” Joy Nicholas
“I think there’s a lot more openness about different body types and promoting self-worth…but we really still have a long way to go!” Brittany Smith
