Just want to thank Sloane and @Jonathan for a great podcast. It covered a lot of challenging topics - injury / recovery, disordered eating, PhD studies, newly married, etc. Best of luck to Sloane on her continued recovery, especially as she works toward 4 w/kg!!!

Thank you for this podcast. Having gone through traumatic injury as a result of being hit by a speeding driver, and experienced some similar problems with the fallout from that, it was great to hear such an honest reflection on the experience
