A lighthearted take on mental health by best friends of 13 years who have recovered from two different eating disorders. Take a backseat into the lives of Clara and Liz as they navigate adulthood with recovered EDs and a variety of mental illnesses. With candid dialogue and a little humor, we can work together to change the conversation and erase the stigma behind mental illness.
After a short (and slightly longer than anticipated) break, Clara and Liz take on cancel culture and its effects on mental health, talk through the different subsets of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and celebrate #NationalComingOutDay2020 with a surprise! Finally, the girls answer your questions about managing ADHD while in school, talking to a friend you know is struggling with an eating disorder, and coping mechanisms to help end self harming behavior.Â
