Overcoming An Eating Disorder with Dena Larsen Gazeley | Why Arizona PODCAST

“How I defined myself at 38, I was a perfectionist. I was controlling. I was angry. I assumed this identity and this was just who I was. As a mom, as a woman, as a wife, this is who I was. Once I received my diagnosis… I began to understand those lightbulb moments of… I don’t have to live this way!” - Dena Larsen Gazeley
