    WithAll's What to Say resources have helped me lay important groundwork for my kids to build and maintain healthy relationships with their bodies and food. I'm trying to create a healthy space for my kids to develop and learn about their bodies, food, and the world they are in.

    As I've recovered from my eating disorder over the past 10 years, I've learned the importance of setting a positive example for kids. Words matter and how we speak about our body image is so important. What to Say is saving lives with early intervention and prevention around eating disorders. I only wish the adults in my life had been better informed when I was sick with my eating disorder as a teen.
