How do you navigate relationships when you have made a major life change, but the people around you still treat you like the old version of yourself?
In this episode of American Glutton, Ethan sits down with Paige Dorian to discuss the friction that occurs when friends or family fail to acknowledge your progress after weight loss or sobriety. Ethan shares his personal experiences with rebuilding trust, handling lingering suspicion, and setting healthy boundaries with loved ones. He emphasizes that true transformation is ultimately proven through consistent daily action rather than words.
