Slaying The Status Quo In Total Style


Pathologising Our Power By Exacerbating Our Pain

November 14, 2019

I know deep within my heart that this episode is going to be full of content that resonates with many of you. Today on the show we have Sarah Vancini. We are going to be discussing all things eating disorders, eating disorder recovery and the magic and the disruption that Sarah is creating through her lived experiences. We’re living in a society, in a culture that benefits from keeping us unwell and making us feel as if we are crazy. Instead of complaining about the system, we’re diving into how we can change the system, change the culture and create a new construct.


As a professional in clinical care and research at the consistently #1 ranked psychiatric hospital in the world (U.S. News & World Report), McLean Hospital in Belmont, MA, Sarah was profoundly impacted by the misogyny that occurred when diagnosing and treating female patients. She forewent her PhD in order to earn her MBA in the hopes of developing a new economic model for focusing on mental health from a matriarchy perspective. Sarah focuses on eating disorders, anxiety, depression, PTSD and borderline personality disorder. She has just completed her first book "Goddess's Guide to Eating Disorder Recovery", a self-help book for eating disorder recovery examining cultural influences and providing female-centred treatment recommendations. The book is not only empirical but also deeply personal and moving as her own journey of eating disorder recovery is woven seamlessly into the guide.


To get this book out into the world on a wide scale, Sarah is seeking to partner with a forward-thinking publishing agency and begin to establish seminars and support groups in her home of Boston to inspire change in mental health treatment for women.


You can find Sarah on Instagram @goddessofedrecovery. Reach out to her if you need help.


As mentioned in the episode, Sarah has been kind enough to offer the first 5 sign ups to the Women's Leadership Workshop a special discount using the code "Angel". For more info head here.
