Episode notes

"I just kept thinking in my first couple months of treatment, analyzing the discipline with which I have led my life," she said. "It's like that quote from Naomi Wolf that I've always loved so much, that a woman's thinness is not about beauty." She says anorexia could be looked at as a discipline of 'white supremacist, capitalist, patriarchy'

Glennon reflects on the episode that has been the biggest marker of change in her life in the last five years.

Glennon shares from the messy middle about her new diagnosis and what’s next for her recovery.
