Linda and John were blessed with two wonderful children and life progressed as they assumed it would—until it didn’t. At 25 years old, their daughter Emilee, a bright, compassionate, respected Doctor of Pharmacy was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa. Anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric illness outside of opioid addiction. Spreading awareness for communities and compassion for individuals who suffer from anorexia, all eating disorders, alcohol and substance use disorders, and mental illnesses have become Linda and John's passion. They created and co-host the podcast, "Once Shattered: Picking-up the Pieces." In 2022 they founded "The Emilee Connection Inc." a nonprofit whose mission is raising awareness, expanding education, providing peer support, and social connection for adults with eating disorders and their loved ones. They speak at conferences, schools, and colleges. In July 2023, Linda and John were invited to The White House for President Biden’s speech, “Expanding Access to Mental Health Care." They hope people and congress will recognize that comprehensive care and a supportive, compassionate community is essential for those who struggle with all psychiatric illnesses. These supports are vital to the health of our families, our communities, and to our future as a nation.
