UN-Podcast 015: UNlearning (Ariel Prins) - Finding Our Hunger




Finding Our Hunger show

Summary: “The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are…” – Unknown<br> “I see my path, but I don’t know where it leads. Not knowing where I’m going is what inspires me to travel it.” – Rosalia de Castro<br> It’s hard to hear a friend talk about the first time she gave in to an eating disorder.<br> It’s devastating when it’s your own sister.<br> This week on the podcast, my little sister, Ariel Prins, talks about life after college, life with a navy boyfriend, and life post-eating disorder. This is actually the first time I’ve ever heard how her disorder began, which was more than a little intense.<br> Ariel is incredibly mature for her age (and, no, I don’t think she’s as much of a “grandma” as she says she is!).
