Podcast appearances and mentions of liana rosenman

This week on #collectedlayers we talk with the co-founder of Project Heal, Liana Rosenman. Tomorrow marks the beginning of Eating Disorder Awareness Week and we are so honored to have Liana on this episode. When Liana first struggled with her eating disorder, it happened almost silently. It took a family friend (who had struggled herself) to connect the dots for Liana before she finally started getting the help she needed. This is a common theme as 70 percent of people who suffer from an eating disorder don't get treatment. It's a disorder that often is greeted with confusion and silence. She used her experience to create Project Heal while still in High School to provide hope to others suffering.

How can we create a healthy view of our bodies & increase our self worth? I discuss this with Liana Rosenman, cofounder of Project HEAL, a non-profit organization that helps people suffering with eating disorders pay for treatment. She was named a 2017 Forbes 30 under 30 social entrepreneur

Kristina Saffran, the co-founder and CEO of Project HEAL, shares how starting her non-profit at age 15 helped her complete her own recovery from Anorexia Nervosa. In the last ten years, Kristina and her co-founder Liana Rosenman have grown Project HEAL to be the leading non-profit organization in the United States delivering prevention, treatment financing, and recovery support for people suffering from eating disorders. Project HEAL has over 40 chapters in the US, Canada, and Australia and continues to grow. Kristina talks about the complexities of eating disorders, which are mental health illnesses. Kristina also talks about the “thin ideal” and how it does a disservice to all women.  

Today, Kathy welcomes Liana Rosenman, one of the founders of Project HEAL. Kathy and Liana discuss Liana’s personal story, the important work they are doing at Project HEAL, including the book they put out called Recovery Is, and finally Project HEAL’s 9th anniversary Gala which is coming up on May 16, 2017 in New York City.

Liana Rosenman and Kristina Saffran talk about their personal journey to recovery and what motivated them to start the non-profit organization Project HEAL: Help to Eat, Accept, and Live.
