"Termínate todo." "¿Por qué estás tan gorda?"

Creciste viendo a las mujeres en tu familia criticarse. Wearing fajas, skipping meals, commenting on each other's bodies before they even said hola. And nobody called it a problem — así eran las cosas.

But what if it wasn't okay? What if we just never had the words for it?

Esta semana, me siento con Nadia Solís, licensed clinical social worker, to talk about something our community rarely says out loud — disordered eating. The mixed messages, the wellness rabbit holes that start with buenas intenciones, the Slim-Fast at 12 years old.

En este episodio vas a aprender the warning signs to watch for — because a lot of us are living with this without even knowing it. We're also getting into the root causes, from generational trauma and family dynamics to anxiety, neurodivergence, and the pressure to just fit in.

Y vamos a hablar about why la comida de tu abuela is NOT the enemy — and what it actually looks like to heal your relationship with food sin perder tu cultura in the process.

Porque la comida es amor en nuestra cultura. So what happens when that relationship breaks?

Para las que se han sentido atrapadas entre "termínate todo" y "ya subiste de peso." Para las que pensaron que era normal — because every woman around them was doing it too.
