What if the hardest part of an eating disorder isn’t what it does to your body, but what it quietly steals from your life?

In Episode 3 of The Disordered Series,  Ashlee and Kendall confront the real cost of disordered eating, the moments that never happened, the connection that was lost, and the versions of themselves that slowly disappeared under the weight of the disorder. 

This is an unfiltered conversation about everything the illness took: identity, trust, joy, freedom, and time you can’t get back.

From both sides of the experience, they unpack how the disorder created distance, distorted reality, and kept them trapped in silence, while also exploring the grief that surfaces in recovery when you begin to see clearly what was lost.
