I had the opportunity to speak to a large in-person and online audience of Chinese physicians, psychiatrists, and psychologists about the treatment of eating disorders.

The time difference resulted in a 1:30am start time, which was a first for me, but I managed to shake off the cobwebs enough to emphasize that eating disorders are common in individuals living with higher weight. Often, these disorders go unnoticed because no one thinks to ask.

Fighting around the globe. 🌍

Why do I do the work I do? Because of comments like those I have received about my "What We Carry" talk. Here are a few:

👉 "All the things that I've carried with me over the course of my life... unpacking all those things takes time, and putting them down will take even longer, but I'm working on it. Thank you Dr. Pashby for this amazing presentation."

👉 "I have rewatched this 3 different times and taken away different things. I balled, laughed, screamed (internally), and felt seen. I thought I was alone and doing everything wrong. Thank you so much, Dr. Robyn Pashby, for reaching deep and offering support, insights, and hope."

👉 "I feel like she has been with me my whole life! All the hurts, the sadness, the worthless, so many negative words all my life."

👉 "One of the most inspiring talks I’ve ever heard. Typing with one hand while wiping tears with the other."

👉 "This is one of those talks that cuts through so deep."

I can't work with every person needing support, but I am learning the sky's the limit when we take risks and put ourselves out there.

It’s here! It’s actually here!

The full 40-minute version of my "What We Carry" talk. It’s not perfect and it takes commitment to watch, but it is powerful and I hope you’ll take the time to listen and learn. If you have struggled with weight, or perhaps more importantly if you work with people living with weight struggles, then please watch this talk.

Let me know what you think and please share widely so others can finally feel seen. Oh and share!
