This week, Karin welcomes Imogen Barnes, social work student and advocate, to the show for our newest episode, “Empowered Recovery.”

Tune in to learn about the OCD and eating disorder “perfect storm,” social media triggers, the fat phobic messages regarding weight and medication use, ways to be an active participant in your recovery, finding wholeness outside of the vessel of an eating disorder, overcoming weight biases from a treatment provider, and much more!

Throughout her childhood, Imogen Barnes lived with debilitating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. At the 16, Imogen’s obsessive behavior pivoted away from contamination fears and towards food and body, marking the beginning of her eating disorder journey.

During a treatment stay, Imogen began producing social media content that inspired her to pursue recovery and, before she knew it, she was motivating an entire community to heal their relationship with food and body. Since then, Imogen has engaged in various treatment interventions, finding a steady place of lasting recovery, while discovering her passion for connecting people with authenticity and empowering others to pursue life beyond suppression.

Begin your healing journey with Karin and her team now!
