Today I am so excited to have guest, Mimi Cole, on the show today. Mimi is in school to become a therapist, and is particularly passionate about OCD through her own lived experience and research. Mimi shares in this episode what exactly is OCD, how this differentiates from someone who is organized or just “so OCD” and some specific examples of how OCD manifests. We also chat at length how OCD connects to orthorexia and what recovery with OCD and an eating disorder looks like.

In this episode we discuss:

Mimi walks us through her journey to decide to go back to school to become a mental health counselor. What exactly is OCD and what differentiates OCD from the desire to just be organized. Most common examples of how OCD manifests and how to know if you are potentially struggling with OCD. The connection between OCD and disordered eating such as orthorexia. If someone with an ED also had OCD needs to know about treatment and recovery. Why Mimi’s IG account is called the lovely becoming and her goal to create a community for humans who are becoming. How Mimi practices wellness without obsession?
