Hi Navigators! We're joined today by Molly Fennig, the author of the award winning novel "Starvation", a story about a wrestler with an eating disorder - a topic close to Francis' heart! Molly, a Minnesota native, is also pursuing her PhD in clinical psychology at Washington University in St. Louis with a specialization in eating disorders. In this episode, Molly unpacks the intersection of anxiety and eating disorders, how she developed and inspired the character in her book, and what the future of clinical research holds. Outside of her passion for writing and mental health, Molly enjoys eating large quantities of chocolate and spending time with her mini goldendoodle, and trained therapy dog, Peach. Find out more about Molly at her website (mollyfennig.com), on Twitter (@mollyfennig) or on Facebook (mollyfennigauthor). Have a listen!
