Today, I sit down with Susan. After a near-death experience at age thirteen, Susan had a new view on life and death. Death was no longer something to fear, and Susan wasn't afraid to push life to its limits. In her teenage years, she learned the ritual of binging and purging and by college she was stuck in a pattern of bulimia and indulgent sexual encounters. The more food and sex, the more alive Susan felt.
Susan shares the complexities of healing from an eating disorder and destructive behaviors. To make it to the next chapter in her life, Susan gives up restrictive dieting and discovers meditation, and ultimately, the healing properties of Ayurveda. Following the concept of seva, being of service, and of Tikkun olam--to fix the world--Susan's evolving life perspective removes her from harm's way and and gives her deep purpose.
