![Anorexia recovery while managing a young family [Podcast]](https://tabithafarrar.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Adobe-Spark-15.jpg)
Recovery from Anorexia is often a time of heightened anxiety and stress. Managing recovery while looking after a young family is a reality for many adult sufferers. In this podcast Tabitha talks to an adult in recovery, Erin, about managing recovery with young children.
About Erin:
I am 36, and have lived in Colorado my entire life. I currently live in Highlands Ranch and have two children, 11 and 6. I have been married for 15 years. I studied sociology, philosophy and women’s studies in college. I have struggled with issues around food and body image since I was a preteen. My eating disorder became severe at the age of 33. I want to help people of all ages, backgrounds, and weights understand that they can indeed develop this illness and that it is a life threatening disorder that needs to be taken seriously. I hope my experience can help others know they are not alone if they are struggling to recover while also being a parent.

I was really glad I listened to this episode; many thanks to Erin for sharing her experience. My story is very similar and I got some excellent takeaways for recovery from hearing this.
I am so glad you enjoyed it Margot! I think this is an area that is greatly underserved and I’m grateful I was able to shed light on the challenges facing mothers in recovery.
Wow, this episode spoke right to me. I could almost say that this episode spoke right FOR me. Erin’s story is so similar to mine and I was pulled right into this episode finding myself nodding along with everything Erin had to say. Thank you for being courageous and sharing. Even if for the hour, I didn’t feel so alone!
