The Woman Who Refused to Give Up: Johanna Kandel’s Story of Eating Disorder Recovery and Advocacy

This episode is a celebration of courage, compassion, and the power of purpose. Host Allison Walsh welcomes back her dear friend and changemaker Johanna Kandel, founder and CEO of the National Alliance for Eating Disorders, as they honor the organization’s 25th anniversary. What began as Johanna’s deeply personal mission to ensure no one felt as alone as she once did has evolved into one of the nation’s leading nonprofits—offering a free, therapist-led helpline and life-saving support groups that reach more than 30,000 people annually across 88 countries. In this heartfelt conversation, Johanna opens up about transforming pain into purpose, leading with resilience, and creating a movement that has changed the landscape of eating disorder recovery. She shares lessons on courage, collaboration, and hope, revealing how her 21-year-old self’s determination became a global force for good. Listeners will walk away feeling inspired to believe in their own ability to create impact — and reminded that when we heal together, we rise together. ⏱️ Timestamps + Highlights 00:00 – Welcome & Introduction 01:54 – Meet Johanna Kandel 02:40 – A Love Letter to the Community 04:20 – 30,000 Voices of Hope 05:58 – The Power of Belief at 21 07:10 – Never Take “No” as the Final Answer 08:30 – From Survivor to CEO 11:28 – Healed People Heal People 12:45 – Holding on to Hope 14:30 – The Power of Connection and Community 15:40 – The Truth About Eating Disorders 17:45 – Bridging the Access Gap 19:40 – Turning Pain into Purpose 21:18 – Follow Your Heart, Even When It’s Hard 22:56 – Better Together: The Power of Collaboration 23:43 – Lessons from a Holocaust Survivor’s Daughter 25:48 – Still So Much Work to Do 26:11 – The Goal: A 7-Day Helpline 27:09 – Be the First.
