Tasha Franken's Thoughts on the Mind-Body Connection, ED Recovery, & 'Doing What Feels Good'

Friend, entrepreneur, model, and pilates instructor - Tasha Franken - joins Gaby and Meadow for Thought 07 where the three begin to scratch the surface on the mind-body connection. Tasha’s thoughts move from her experience healing with an eating disorder, to her “scout story”, to how the phrase ‘do what feels good’ is extremely irritating when you can’t trust yourself yet or don’t understand how to connect with your body, to the potential for someone to discover her long lost journals and make m...

But before you hear that, the girls had to pop in to record a little intro with a disclaimer about how some new revelations have vastly changed their thinking on the subject. (TLDR; one of us is talking about our experience with a past toxic relationship while they are prese...
