Back like I never left: ‘Productivity’ in a Pandemic Part 2

Guess who’s back…back again…. This blog’s back, tell a friend.   Hi all! I know what you’re thinking: it’s been a hot minute. I’m coming to you live from my desk with some blue light-reflecting glasses, much shorter hair and a whole lot of updates.

(Disclaimer: In this blog, I’ll be speaking about eating disorders. If this content may be disturbing to you, do not read any further.) We are currently two days into National Eating Disorders Awareness (NEDA) Week. It is a time for people to celebrate recovery and
