This episode is a celebration of courage, compassion, and the power of purpose. Host Allison Walsh welcomes back her dear friend and changemaker Johanna Kandel, founder and CEO of the National Alliance for Eating Disorders, as they honor the organization’s 25th anniversary. What began as Johanna’s deeply personal mission to ensure no one felt as alone as she once did has evolved into one of the nation’s leading nonprofits—offering a free, therapist-led helpline and life-saving support groups that reach more than 30,000 people annually across 88 countries.In this heartfelt conversation, Johanna opens up about transforming pain into purpose, leading with resilience, and creating a movement that has changed the landscape of eating disorder recovery. She shares lessons on courage, collaboration, and hope, revealing how her 21-year-old self’s determination became a global force for good. Listeners will walk away feeling inspired to believe in their own ability to create impact — and reminded that when we heal together, we rise together. Together, they discuss:How Johanna turned her personal recovery into the National Alliance for Eating Disorders at age 21 and built it into a global lifeline.The Alliance’s real-world impact: therapist-led helplines (~8,000 calls/year), 21 free support groups, ~30,000 participants annually, and 290,000 searches on findedhelp.com.Why eating disorders are serious biopsychosocial brain illnesses (not vanity) and the importance of getting care from trained, specialty providers.How free, clinician-led support groups and peer connection (“healed people heal people”) close the access gap for people who can’t get traditional treatment.The role of social media, weight stigma, and emerging trends (including GLP-1 conversations) in shaping public understanding and care needs.Johanna’s innovation roadmap: partnering with social platforms and AI (OpenAI, Cloud, Gemini) to meet people where they are and expand reach.What’s next for the Alliance — an ambitious goal to scale the helpline to 7 days a week, increase funding and partnerships, and keep driving down stigma.How listeners can take action: share resources, support the Alliance, or find help via findedhelp.com. Additional Resources & LinksConnect with Allison: www.allisonwalshconsulting.com/newsletterSubscribe to the Podcast: https://pod.link/1505347834Thank you to our sponsors!Learn more about AdventHealth for Women: www.AdventHealthforwomen.comGet involved with Be a Mindleader: http://beamindleader.com/ Connect with AllisonInterested in working together?

All of a sudden, they start opening up… And so it’s really just being intentional about providing that time, providing that space.” On empowering youth: “Being a part of the ambassador program, it allows a kiddo to say, ‘I am a Mindleader’… And kids are so excited to do this work.” About Jessica GaloJessica Galo serves as the Director of Specialty Care at AdventHealth for Children, where she has spent more than 16 years leading efforts to support children with complex healthcare needs and their families.
