Wow, what an interesting and unique way to voice eating disorders. It took me a bit to get there, but it is very powerful.
What a beautiful conversation about this story. This is a nice video, Anne. I’m super disappointed in the chocolate calendar. The same thing happened last year with the same chocolates repeatedly. It almost seems like a rip-off.
right? So frustrating. And thank you!
