Episode 75: Dianna Goodman—mother of Vance Goodman (ep. 63)—shares a parent perspective on eating disorders and recovery

In this emotional and inspiring episode, Dianna Goodman -- mother of Vance Goodman who joined EDNR in episode 63 -- shares her experience as a mother, caretaker, and human watching a loved one struggle with an eating disorder for years. Dianna shares her pain, frustration, and joy as she recalls navigating her daughter's physical and emotional symptoms, accessing treatment (an even more daunting task 20 years ago), being told her daughter would not recover by medical professionals, her own sense of loneliness, and Vance's full recovery. This journey eventually led to Dianna opening the Carolina Resource Center for Eating Disorders, a non-profit dedicated to supporting and helping those impacted by eating disorders -- individuals and support systems alike. Her message of hope is powerful, and we were so grateful for Dianna's time, energy, emotion, and grace. We hope you enjoy!
