About Lift The Shame: The Column
A soft place for mothers healing food & body shame.
Hi, I’m Crystal—mom of 5, registered dietitian, and maternal mental health advocate in eating disorder recovery.
I created Lift The Shame: The Column for mothers like me—and maybe like you.
Mothers who are:
Healing the wounds of disordered eating
Carrying quiet fears about passing it on
Trying to raise kids who trust their bodies while still learning to trust their own
This isn’t a place for perfection. It’s a place for honesty. For showing up in the mess, with your heart wide open.
