Happy Monday! Today, I am so excited to finally be able to bring you an interview I did with OCD, anxiety, and eating disorder specialist; Christina Neff!
Christina is a licensed clinical professional counselor who concentrates on working with individuals struggling with OCD, anxiety, and eating disorders.
I was able to interview Christina not only on her work as a therapist, but also her experience in motherhood thus far. As you'll be able to hear, Christina has put in intentional work to break cycles of trauma in her family and shares a bit about that experience with us!
If you enjoy this episode, please let us know by sharing with a friend or on social media. I also appreciate all reviews on Apple and Spotify!
