Ep. 44: Finding freedom from diets and eating disorders with Lindsay Ronga, founder of Outshining ED

For so many of us, a New Year dawns with thoughts of restrictive eating and dissatisfaction with our bodies. I hope this conversation brings a healthy dose of caution, optimism and balance to start the year off on a more joyful, self-accepting note. My friend and Eating Disorders coach Lindsay Ronga shares how she overcame her own crippling anorexia and found purpose in helping others achieve the same freedom. Hear how this Harvard Business School graduate turned her back on a private equity career to launch ‘Outshining ED’, how her videos became an unexpected TikTok sensation, and why parents should be wary of diet culture.
