#003: How Does Social Media Influence our Body Image and Perceived Self Worth? with Clare @recoverybrainfood

Clare, an instagram figure who posts @recoverybrainfood, joins Nia Patterson this week on the third episode of the podcast to talk about her body trauma and eating disorder recovery. We talk about damaging parenting, major weight loss from an eating disorder, and then branch off into talking about our social media accounts and how we manage them. This episode is filled with laughs and sarcasm and also serious moments and revelations. Join us as we talk about how social media can help us in recovery but also mess with our own body image and perceived self worth.

Clare is a startup brand marketer and Sopranos-fanatic based in New York City. She operates the Instagram account @recoverybrainfood and spends way to much time trolling the internet for memes that prove you're not the only one. Obsessions include LL Bean slippers, watching re-runs of Inside the Actor's Studio on airplanes, and gratuitous usage of the word "groovy."

Clare can be found on Instagram @recoverybrainfood And although right now she is taking a break she still insists you drop a line and say hi.
