The Importance of Self-Awareness in Yoga and More Importantly Life
Recently, I joined Walden Behavioral Care as the Marketing and Community Relations Associate for South Windsor. Previously, I worked in the substance abuse and addictions world. As someone new coming to join the fight against eating disorders, it has been incredible to recognize how much more aware I have become to hearing people’s comments regarding weight and appearance, as well as those seen, read or heard in the media and advertising. Prior to coming on board at Walden, I had experienced weight shaming and I am sure I have overheard others being ridiculed or judged based on weight. It never truly bothered me like it does now.
