Two People Who Suffer From Eating Disorders And Body Dysmorphia Started A Support Group For Others With Same Conditions!

Monica called into the show to share the powerful triumph that she and her brother Michael were having over ailments that had plagued the both of them for a very long time.  The amazing part of the story is not only are they learning to deal with these ailments that affect many people on a daily basis but have created a safe space for others who are going through these conditions to have an outlet so that they don't feel alone.
