Food for Thought Ep. 5 - Adam's Story

In this episode of Food for Thought, I sit down with Adam Hassan, a senior musical theatre major at USC, to talk about his eating disorder recovery journey. Adam opens up about growing up surrounded by negative comments, how his upbringing shaped his relationship with food, and the challenges he faced along the way. Through recovery, he has discovered a renewed connection with his artistry, learned to take up space, and embraced confidence as a creative. Thank you, Adam, for sharing your powerful story and insights. You are an inspiration.Podcast Timeline: 0:00 - 0:16: Welcome! 0:16 - 2:08: Adam’s Introduction 2:08 - 5:36: Eating Disorder History5:36 - 10:07: A Sign from the Universe 10:07 - 12:35: Growing up Faster 12:35 - 13:53: Childhood Experiences Change You 13:53 - 17:06: Fear of Taking up Space 17:06 - 20:35: Food and Culture vs ED 20:35 - 23:10: Finding your Artistry in Recovery23:10 - 27:40 - Rehearsal Struggles 27:40 - 42:24 - Finding your Artistry in Reovery continued 42:24 - 43:10: Advice and Words of Encouragement 43:10 - 44:03: Please like, comment, follow, and share
