Navigating the Complex Journey of Self-worth and Acceptance with Binge Eating Disorder
Live life. And love it. The true joy in life is living it. Without fear, reservation, or compromise. There was a time when Kara Richardson Whitely was stuck waiting for happiness to arrive. It took her years to realize the irony of it all: Happiness was always right there. And it was waiting on her. Kara will talk about her work with eating disorder professionals and the internal work (on a daily basis) it takes for her to thrive as a mom, adventurer, author, speaker and executive producer.
