“I wrote a ‘Lenny Letter’ on a whim, and it felt indulgent, but people came up to me with tears in their eyes saying, ‘Thank you.’ There’s so much shame about mental illness in our country and so many stereotypes about women being ‘crazy’ or ‘psycho.’”

“For me, my body image struggle started very young. All that I heard from my mother, my aunts, and my mom’s friends was, ‘I gotta lose five pounds.’ At 5 years old, I learned a size 2 is not thin enough. It was, ‘Don’t eat carbs! Don’t eat sugar! Drink Diet Coke! You always diet!’ So that was engrained in my brain at a very early age.”
