Hi, welcome to the podcast... I'm Your Messy Friend :)

*Trigger Warning: Discussion of disordered eating, body image & weight.

*Apologies for the wonky sound on my end - please ignore and enjoy this emotional, informative and inspiring conversation!

My guest today is courageous... a leader on the ever-growing, no filter, raw emotion, real life human-side of social media, she challenges stigmas around mental health and eating disorders by documenting and sharing both her struggles and triumphs. On a journey to creating, embodying and celebrating her most whole, accepting and loving self, my guest inspires her followers, friends and family to do the same, just by being... Alejandra. I am so excited and honored to welcome to the show, Alejandra Parrilla!
