Dr. LaNail R. Plummer is a visionary mental health expert, educator, speaker, and author dedicated to redefining how minorities are seen, supported, and healed in clinical spaces. Her book, The Essential Guide for Counseling Black Women (Jan 2026, Norton & Co), is her first of three serving as both a professional resource for educators and mental health providers, and an accessible guide for Black women looking to heal. For Dr. Plummer, the book is more than theory but a response to a gap witnessed in her entire career; the need for healthcare (especially within mental health) that affirms and reflects the real lived experiences of Black women. Dr. Plummer brings two decades of clinical expertise and lived experience to inform her work. In 2013, she founded Onyx Therapy Group, a mental health organization with a team of 40+ BIPOC counselors and consultants serving Washington, DC, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and Louisiana, with an international footprint in South Africa. Onyx's work spans across culturally responsive mental health care, consultation for local and government agencies, executive coaching, mentorship, and even prison reform work.
We discuss topics including:
- Black women can have clinicians that understand how to work with black women
- Understanding that we are not all the same as our perspectives are different
- Exploring the stereotypes with black women
- The importance for black women to be seen and heard
- Reviewing the messages that you have been taught about black women
- Countertransference makes every black woman not enjoy the experience of therapy or be willing to give another therapist a chance

Carolyn Costin is a world renowned, sought-after eating disorder clinician, author, and international speaker.
Recovered herself, Carolyn recognized her calling after successfully treating her first eating disorder client in 1979. Carolyn was first to publicly say that people with eating disorders can become fully recovered.
After 15 years in private practice and running hospital programs, Carolyn recognized a gap in the field and opened Monte Nido in 1996, the first residential facility in the U.S. combining standard treatment with meditation and yoga. Clients finally could practice daily skills necessary for full recovery such as grocery shopping, shopping for and preparing food.
Carolyn's contributions to the field are extensive. Of her six books, the most popular is, 8 Keys to Recovery From an Eating Disorder. Carolyn's service in eating disorder organizations, training professionals worldwide, and the outstanding success of Monte Nido all spurred her to international acclaim.
After selling Monte Nido Carolyn created The Carolyn Costin Institute offering continuing education for clinicians, and the certification of eating disorder coaches, filling another existing gap in the field. Carolyn continues to see a few clients, offer consultations and speak at national and international conferences.
In March 9 2022 Carolyn was awarded, from the government of Australia, a distinguished talent visa for her work in eating disorders.
She currently spends time in Australia training eating disorder clinicians, running groups, consulting on various eating disorder cases and projects, and working as an independent contractor for Wandi Nerida, the first eating disorder residential treatment program in Australia.
We discuss topics including:
- The difference between recovered and recovering
- Understanding what is means to "betray your soul"
- The ego is our driving force
- The importance to write or speak for your message to go into the neuropathways
- The importance of role play
- How to connect to the "soul self"
- What is the Carolyn Costin Institute?

Although she is not a licensed mental health professional, Jayde’s experience as a patient, family member, and friend of individuals with mental illness has driven her to share her experiences and insights.

Debra Spector M.S, R.D.N, C.D.N is a Registered and Certified Dietitian-Nutritionist who has upheld a private practice since 1990 on Long Island, New York (Nassau and Suffolk Counties) as a nutritional therapist, mentor, educator, entrepreneur and consultant.
She holds an Undergraduate Degree from SUNY at Oneonta and received her Masters Degree along with completing her Internship at Long Island University. Debra specializes in eating disorders and treats adults, teenagers and adolescents. Her philosophy is meeting everyone’s needs individually and guiding them to achieve a normal relationship with food, weight, and body image. In addition, Debra strongly believes in guiding teenagers and adolescents away from the “good food vs. bad food” or “healthy vs. unhealthy” philosophy and to encourage them to find a way to make “all foods fit”. Her decision to put together this book of relational essays was primarily based upon the fact that she believes most people who struggle with eating
disorders are either silently struggling alone or misunderstood. Debra believes everyone who struggles with an eating disorder should find their inner voice and be heard. More importantly, she wants those suffering to know that they are not alone.
She is the author of the book The Things I’ve Seen People Do With and Without Food.
We discuss topics including:
- The problems with comparing our body to a younger version of ourselves
- What is body acceptance?
- Being fixated on feeling one’s body for fat, bone and muscle

Victoria Schonwald NZRD lives in Christchurch New Zealand and runs a private practice called The Eat Clinic, with a special interest in eating disorders.
When Victoria set-up her private practice in NZ, she realized there was a huge problem. She received countless phone calls from distraught parents not knowing what to do to help their children suffering from eating disorders.
They were also struggling to get the help they needed. Victoria discovered some teenagers and people in their early 20s were being sent home from hospital and given end of life funeral plans because the treatment model and system was failing the patient.
This prompted Victoria to start a parent support group which enabled a team of feisty parents to help advocate to the Government for more funding and expertise for the treatment for all eating disorders in NZ.
Victoria is also working on bridging the gap between private and public health professionals to create better communication and patient focused care - with an individualized and adaptive approach.
We discuss topics including:
- How therapy “made her better” with having an eating disorder
- What eating disorder treatment is like in New Zealand
- The lack of communication in public providers in New Zealand
- Being Compassionate as a provider

Lindsay Krasna is a white, cisgender, able-bodied, straight-size, fat positive, queer, Jewish, pun-loving, basketball playing, color-coordinating Registered Dietitian.
She is also the proud founder of LK Nutrition, a group nutrition counseling practice in New York City specializing in eating disorders, disordered eating, and weight inclusive nutrition, with the aim of providing nutrition counseling through an intersectional, anti-oppression lens.
Taking an actively anti-racist approach to her work is important to Lindsay. The more she’s been learning about how exactly white supremacy shows up, and the racist history of the United States healthcare system as a whole, the more she’s realized how status quo approaches to eating disorder treatment perpetuate systemic inequalities that unfairly advantage white providers (herself included) and white clients, while harming communities or color, and marginalized communities generally. With guidance from Black anti-racist educators and colleagues in our field, Lindsay has been reflecting on what it means to be a thin white cis eating disorder dietitian and private practice owner, the importance of challenging the systems that lead to so many disparities in eating disorder care, and the ways she can do her part to advocate for needed change.
We discuss topics including:
- How to do better in the field of eating disorders
- The importance to reflect on how we have gotten to this point in our field
- The lack of diversity in the field
- The importance to obtain supervision from providers and colleagues with marginalized communities
- Exploring your spheres of influence
- The importance of taking on interns with marginalized identities

Turner is currently the co-founder and co-CEO of the Body Freedom Project which was formed to realize a world free from body discrimination. Turner is also the founder of the Binge Eating Disorder Association (BEDA) which she successfully merged with the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) in 2018 after 10 years of running BEDA’s day-to-day operations and programming. A highlight of Turner’s work with BEDA was the inclusion of Binge Eating Disorder (BED) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual’s 5th Edition (DSM-5), published in 2013.
Prior to this diagnostic addition, those struggling with the most common and underdiagnosed eating disorder had little hope of being recognized much less accessing treatment and insurance coverage.
One of the most forward-thinking and pivotal programs created by Turner and the board of directors of BEDA was Weight Stigma Awareness Week which continues under The Body Freedom Project. This powerful event held every September is critical to the awareness and education necessary to eliminate the weight stigma and discrimination that impedes access to quality healthcare, employment, housing and the basic dignity of not being bullied, harassed or stigmatized based on body shape and size.
Turner carries these messages to audiences around the US and abroad in schools, healthcare settings, trade organizations, associations, professional conferences, corporations, and governmental agencies. Turner is also the co-author of Binge Eating Disorder: The Journey to Recovery & Beyond.
We discuss topics including:
- What is trauma informed care?
- Understanding the weight stigma and discrimination is a trauma
- Having a community
- The Body Freedom Project
- The importance of parents addressing the well being of their child

Turner is currently the co-founder and co-CEO of the Body Freedom Project which was formed to realize a world free from body discrimination. Turner is also the founder of the Binge Eating Disorder Association (BEDA) which she successfully merged with the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) in 2018 after 10 years of running BEDA’s day-to-day operations and programming. A highlight of Turner’s work with BEDA was the inclusion of Binge Eating Disorder (BED) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual’s 5th Edition (DSM-5), published in 2013. Prior to this diagnostic addition, those struggling with the most common and underdiagnosed eating disorder had little hope of being recognized much less accessing treatment and insurance coverage.
One of the most forward-thinking and pivotal programs created by Turner and the board of directors of BEDA was Weight Stigma Awareness Week which continues under The Body Freedom Project. This powerful event held every September is critical to the awareness and education necessary to eliminate the weight stigma and discrimination that impedes access to quality healthcare, employment, housing and the basic dignity of not being bullied, harassed or stigmatized based on body shape and size.
Turner carries these messages to audiences around the US and abroad in schools, healthcare settings, trade organizations, associations, professional conferences, corporations, and governmental agencies. Turner is also the co-author of Binge Eating Disorder: The Journey to Recovery & Beyond.
We discuss topics including:
- The weight stigma that larger bodies experience
- What is discrimination?
- What is weight bias?
- What is weight stigma?
- What is medical weight stigma?

Kristie developed an eating disorder in her teenage years, competing on the world stage as an elite athlete. She sought treatment in Australia and New Zealand where she became 'functional' in life, but still had constant thoughts about food and body image in her mind. She relapsed again 9 years later and was this time told that she was chronic and should expect to have to 'manage' her eating disorder for the rest of her life.
Not satisfied with this, Kristie researched treatment options and travelled to California to attend treatment at Monte Nido. Immediately stunned by the quality of the program and expertise of the staff she made a wild promise to herself that if she ever recovered, she would set up a residential treatment centre in New Zealand so that others would have access to this level and quality of support.
Firstly, Kristie set up Recovered Living in the USA which provides online and live-in support to people in recovery. Her team of Recovery Coaches are all fully recovered and endlessly dedicated to supporting others to do the same.
Kristie was invited to present at the 2018 TEDx event in New Zealand. Since that time she has been driven to create a charitable residential treatment centre in New Zealand, that operates on a not-for-profit basis.
Recovered Living NZ is on track to open its doors in 2022 with a 6 bed residential and a 6 place day program.
We discuss topics including:
- Wanting to start a nonprofit eating disorder treatment center in NZ
- Recovered Living USA and Recovered Living NZ
- Her experience at other treatment centers
- Making treatment affordable
- How the life skills piece at treatment was very helpful towards her recovery and how she will incorporate that into her treatment center

Asher is a spiritual entrepreneur, human connection coach and Rabbi in Southern California. His story began at home as a young child where all seemed well from the outside. As the youngest by nine years, he felt a horrible sense of abandonment.

Asher founded Transcend in 2008, building an internationally recognized recovery community. Now sober twelve years and counting, Asher has counseled hundreds of men and women and built a renowned reputation where he is recognized by his three hallmark pillars of recovery; Accountability, Community, Unconditional Love.
