This episode is in memory of my dad, Chris Goeckel. He was taken from us unexpectedly at 64 years old, right before my wedding.

I don't know where I would be in this grief journey without the tools I have acquired in my eating disorder recovery, so in this episode I discuss what's helped me and what I've learned about grief these past few months.

I also give a tribute to my dad. My wonderful and larger than life dad who loved his family with every fiber of his being. While he will be deeply missed, we will always carry him with us and his parenting, legacy, and love lives on through his family.

We love you forever dad, and forever never ends.
