E125 Sarah M: Running and Eating Disorders

Sarah grew up in Northern Wisconsin and ran throughout school, eventually earning a scholarship to Bradley University where she competed in cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track. She was very successful both as a runner and academicaly, but also suffered from an eating disorder that plagued her throughout her time there. After seeking treatment, she started blogging about it (https://www.theprosiest.com) and it's evolved to be about mental health, running, writing, and relationships. She also writes and performs poetry, and just published a book called "I Like It Cuz It's Pink."
