My Mom's Side of the Story: Overcoming My Eating Disorder and Reinventing Herself After Kids

In this episode, I'm sitting down with someone who has seen every version of me...before the business, before entrepreneurship, before healing my relationship with food, and even before I really knew who I was. My mom joins me for a conversation about motherhood, reinvention, resilience, and what it was like watching me navigate some of the hardest seasons of my life.

Together, we talk about my eating disorder recovery from her perspective, the challenges and joys of raising three children, and her own incredible story of starting over in her 50s. After spending years as a pharmacist, my mom made the courageous decision to return to school and become a nurse proving that it's never too late to pursue the life you truly want.

In this episode, we discuss:

What I was like as a child and the early signs of determination and independence
How gymnastics shaped my mindset, work ethic, and drive
My mom's experience supporting me through an eating disorder and what helped most during recovery
The importance of seeking help early when someone is struggling with mental health or disordered eating
The realities of being both a working mom and a stay-at-home mom
Why community matters so much during motherhood
My mom's journey of leaving pharmacy and returning to school to become a nurse in her 50s
What it feels like to reinvent yourself later in life
The similarities between entrepreneurship and pursuing a second career
How to support your children in following their passions (even when you don't fully understand them)
My ongoing thoughts about having a third child and how family decisions evolve over time
Why there is no "perfect" path when it comes to motherhood, career, or life
