I had the pleasure of interviewing author Robyn Cruze. Robyn is an internationally-recognized author and speaker and published Making Peace with Your Plate (Central Recovery Press) with Espra Andrus, LCSW, which will enter its second edition in January 2020. Her work and her recovery story have been featured internationally in media outlets including Refinery29, Yahoo Style, Good Morning Washington and NPR Radio. Having struggled and found recovery from mental health disorders, Robyn serves as a Director of Advocacy consultant for Eating Recovery Center and is the Co-Founder of a new mental health awareness grassroot movement, Wide Wonder.
