We're back! In the episode we talk to Jamie Lee Finch about her journey from panic attacks and disconnection from her body to learning about the myths and stigmas that surround women's bodies and the idea of sexuality and religion. How can we get to know ourselves? And what does sex have to do with recovery? What lies have we been told about ourselves? This was a great interview. I hope you enjoy it.

We’re back with Episode 10 of the Real Recovery Podcast! You can find new episodes every Monday on iTunes, Soundcloud, and katpeters.com! This week Rebecca takes a break while Kat interviews Katie Berger, who is a professional actress and playwright based in St. Petersburg, Florida. She is originally from Kentucky and majored in musical theatre in college. She has been fortunate to be working consistently in theatre since graduation, but in her late teens and early twenties, she suffered from the crippling disorder known as anorexia nervosa. After living with the disorder for several years, she realized how detrimental it was to her health, her career, and her art. Through sheer force of will (and an amazing treatment team) she beat anorexia and lived to tell the tale, which she now tells through her original musical "Full". Topics: 0:35 - Quick updates about the podcast! 1:15 - Introducing today’s guest, playwright, and anorexia survivor Katie Berger. 2:45 - Katie’s history with disordered eating. 5:00 - Were there many other women involved in theatre with Katie that also suffered from disordered eating? 6:25 - Discussing Katie’s musical “Full.” What she inspired her to write the musical? 8:15 - Is “Full” about recovery?

Especially on stage? 14:40 - Where can we see “Full” The Musical? 16:15 - How did Katie find the title, “Full” to name her musical? 18:30 - Finishing up. Thank you so much Katie! You’re awesome!
