Episode Overview
- Burlesque Queen Ambrosia Minge shares her recovery journey and challenges societal beauty standards

- Candid conversation about the complexities of recovery and misconceptions around eating disorders
- Challenges the stereotype of what an eating disorder 'looks' like
- Emphasizes the need to shed internal weight while navigating societal pressures
I didn't look like what an eating disorder quote-unquote looked like either. Minj talked about her weight, specifically the weight of intense emotional experiences, the weight of what society thinks she should be, and off the record, she spoke of the weight of certain body positivity warriors shaming her for going to Overeaters Anonymous, neglecting to understand the radical idea that the weight Minj most needed to lose was in her mind.
Have you ever wondered how a burlesque performer navigates the turbulent waters of body image and recovery? In this episode of 'Grey Maybe', host Jillian Schmitz sits down with the vibrant Ambrosia Minge, a Burlesque Queen with a larger-than-life presence and an equally compelling story. Ambrosia opens up about her personal journey through disordered eating, body dysmorphia, and the relentless pressure of societal beauty standards.
She shares her experiences with brutal honesty, shedding light on the often misunderstood world of eating disorders and the internal battles that accompany them. Jillian and Ambrosia's conversation is a raw and heartfelt exploration of the emotional and mental weight that often outweighs the physical. They discuss the misconceptions surrounding eating disorders and challenge the stereotypical image of what someone with an eating disorder 'should' look like.
This episode isn't just about struggles; it's about resilience, shedding internal burdens, and embracing one's true self. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers valuable insights and a reminder that healing is as much about the mind as it is about the body.
