Hayley reached out to Jay a little more than a year ago as she was preparing to go into the hospital to deal with anorexia. Since then, Hayley and Jay have stayed in contact, trading emails, Facebook messages, and cards through the mail. Now she's out of the hospital and ready to talk about her experience. Jay and Hayley's conversation reaches an incredibly vulnerable height and we're all so thankful to have Hayley as a friend of the pod and a Choose Your Struggle champion! You can learn more about Hayley at her blog, https://scalesr4fish.wordpress.com/, and check out her shop https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Sunshinebypost?ref=profile_header to support her work!

This year's Birthday Fundraiser is LIIIIIIIVE! Y'all were so amazing last year, helping us raise over $12,000 for Drug Policy Alliance, I'll love you all for coming through again this year. For my birthday this year, I'm raising money for Savage Sisters, an amazing organization I'm a board member for here in Philly. We provide recovery housing and harm reduction outreach. Founded and led by a woman in recovery, y'all know I'm ALLLLLLL about this work. To learn more and get involved, check out the link: https://www.facebook.com/donate/131518205723435/.
