“We all want somebody who sees us and loves us.”
Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of alcoholism and eating disorders
This week’s episode is such a beautiful reminder that sometimes the people who bring the most joy into the world have had to fight very hard to find it themselves.
I’m joined by Edgar Kirby, and from the moment we sat down, I knew this conversation was going to stay with me.
Edgar opens up about growing up with parents who struggled with alcoholism, and being raised by his older sister from the age of four.
We talk about dance, creativity, food, binge eating disorder, body image, and the pressure so many people feel to constantly “keep going.” Edgar also shares how losing his dance studio during Covid unexpectedly became the beginning of a completely new chapter - one that led him into coaching, social media, and helping thousands of people change their relationship with food and themselves.
What I loved most about this conversation is Edgar’s honesty. He speaks with so much warmth, emotional intelligence, and compassion - not just for others, but finally for himself too.
