Tonight was part 2 of our “This Is Me” creative arts / dance workshop and it was amazing!!! We used the silk flags made in the last workshop as a prop in the choreographed dance with musical selection “This Is Me” by Kesha. Participants engaged in meaningful discussion of the song lyrics which beautifully detail what many women experience.. shame and other negative emotions about who they are and what they look like. Participants engaged in a dance that was specifically designed to challenge the negative internal voice that many women have telling them they are not good enough. This dance was only partially choreographed (by design) while encouraging participants to choreograph their own unique movements to specific parts of the song lyrics. This unique choreography further solidified the theme of embracing who we are. The overall dance came together beautifully and participants seemed to really enjoy being a part of the choreography!
This particular workshop was something I dreamed of doing about 10 years ago, but never had the people, places, or things to make it happen! My heart is full seeing the growth in the amazing women who continue to show up for this workshop! I am blessed to have met Rachelle who has been the creative mastermind behind this program! Shoutout to Shastidy Ellerbusch for giving us a beautiful space at the Guruv Yoga Studio in Lake Mary to run our program!!

What is OSFED?
OSFED stands for Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder. It’s a clinical diagnosis for individuals who experience serious eating disorder symptoms but don’t meet the full criteria for anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating disorder.

🔍 What does OSFED look like?
It may differ in frequency, duration, or specific behaviors, but it’s still serious and can deeply impact a person’s physical and emotional well-being.

Examples include:
▪️ Atypical Anorexia – significant weight loss, but not underweight
▪️ Bulimia (low frequency) – binge/purge behaviors occur less often
▪️ Binge Eating (low frequency) – less frequent bingeing
▪️ Purging Disorder – purging without binge eating
▪️ Night Eating Syndrome – distress from eating during the night

🚨 Important to know: OSFED is just as serious as other eating disorders.
Help is available, and healing is possible.
