In this compelling episode of the Neshamas Podcast, host Moshe Hanen sits down with Brie Levilev to delve into her personal journey through addiction and eating disorders. Growing up in Daytona Beach, Florida, Brie faced challenges early on, struggling with societal pressures and internal battles that led her down a difficult path.
As she recounts her story, Brie emphasizes the significance of parental love and acceptance, highlighting how her own journey of self-discovery and healing was deeply intertwined with understanding and support from her family. Brie's journey began with secretive behaviors and a constant battle with sadness and depression. She describes how societal influences, such as magazines and social media, impacted her self-image and led to disordered eating habits.
However, her path to recovery began when she gained awareness of her situation and sought help nine years ago, a decision supported by her husband and her family. Through sharing her experiences on Instagram and publicly in forums like this podcast, Brie has found liberation and a sense of community. She speaks passionately about the importance of sharing one's struggles, as it diminishes the shame associated with them and fosters connection and understanding.
This act of vulnerability, she explains, is crucial for healing and finding freedom. Brie's message is clear: keep fighting, even when the journey feels insurmountable. She reminds listeners that blessings often lie just beyond the hardships and that perseverance can lead to profound beauty and fulfillment. Her story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of hope and healing.
Moshe Hanen, as both a recovered addict and certified recovery coach, provides a compassionate platform for Brie to share her insights, encouraging listeners to embrace their vulnerabilities and find solace in shared experiences. Together, they offer a message of hope and resilience, urging anyone facing similar struggles to hold on and keep fighting. This episode is a poignant reminder of the strength found in community and the importance of mental health advocacy.
Through Brie's story, listeners are invited to reflect on their own journeys and the ways in which sharing and support can lead to personal growth and recovery.
