Keep Hope Alive – Choosing Life Over an Eating D

Keep Hope Alive – Choosing Life Over an Eating Disorder -
Tuesday, November 17th @ 7pm
REGISTER: https://nami-eastside.org/forums/ with Debra Hopkins, President/Founder, Breaking The Chains Foundation

Join us for an insightful, meaningful, & encouraging presentation on the aspects of hope, building an army to support that hope, and magnifying the idea there is “extraordinary” in each person. She believes full recovery and healing is possible from an eating disorder and takes a personal inside look of one’s journey by creating an enriched sense of self-efficacy, self-discovery, and self-love.

By sharing her personal experience which includes what is commonly referred to as The Alice in Wonderland syndrome, a disorienting sense of visual perception, Debra will discuss how it affected her, how she learned to overcome it, and how she came to express it in her story, “Finding Alice”.

In addition to her personal story, Debra also chats:
- What are eating disorders, the stigma & shame associated with them.
- Tapping into health & wellness within our own choices & what that means to our happiness and engaged daily living.
- Identify common feelings and emotions between body/food relationships during Covid & the holidays.
- The relationship between eating disorders & mental health
- Provide useful resources and support

A VERY JOYOUS CONGRATULATIONS to the newly married

A VERY JOYOUS CONGRATULATIONS to the newly married MR. and MRS. MARTY SHANNON🎉💕!!!

#repost @jillianrosereed I can’t believe I’m a WIFEY 💍 yesterday was the exact OPPOSITE of everything we thought we wanted, but it turned out to be so special and intimate. Just the two of us standing in the same place we got engaged a year before 🤍 we can’t wait to celebrate FOR REAL next year with our loved ones, but I honestly wouldn’t trade this moment for anything ✨
.
.
.
I also wanted to give a huge shoutout to @manlybands for getting Marty his wedding ring SO quickly. This marriage was kind of a quick decision, and with everything going on we left his ring until ONE WEEK before 😬 but #manlybands came to the rescue and sent us this beautiful ring that shipped within a day. We were extra excited to partner with them because each month their teams selects a different organization to give back to (in August they donated $80k worth of rings to brides in the US) ✨ they were nice enough to send me a code once I told them how many of YOU are tying the knot a little differently than you expected too.. so you can use JILLIANROSEREED if you’re in need of a band as well 🤍🤍🤍

✨MEET #BTCF OCTOBER FEATURED ARTIST TRINITY ROSE

✨MEET #BTCF OCTOBER FEATURED ARTIST TRINITY ROSE✨LINK IN BIO✨

Trinity Rose @trinityroseofficial is a professional singer, songwriter, musician, and storyteller. At the age of 13, she was the youngest contestant to ever appear on NBC’s “The Voice” and went on to be one of eight high school teens in the country to be chose not once, but twice for Grammy Camp! Her very soulful and rich vocals in addition to her beautiful guitar playing produce a variety of creative musical textures, dynamics, and genres.

BTCF first met Trinity Rose when she was one of our guest performers in a music live-stream we produced last year. It was a moment to ask, “Wait, how old is she?” For we were all amazed! Her love to reach young people like herself and share her stories through her music is something that not only brings her joy but allows her to connect with so many and hopefully be a voice of inspiration, hope, and perseverance. At 17, she is creating leaps and bounds and can be heard on a several platforms, so be sure to check her out! Thank you, Trinity Rose for sharing!💜

During the frequent isolation that we are all experiencing resulting from this pandemic, our minds can obsess in self negativity. If you or anybody you know are having more difficulties staying in the right head space about your body positive perspective, please reach out.

I’m so proud to be a celebrity ambassador for @breakingthechainsfdn and am able to help healing through my music. There are so many ways to redirect those negative thoughts, being creative is just one of the ways.
