Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia on Eating Disorder Recovery & Choosing Herself After Heartbreak

About this episode

Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia discusses her journey of recovery from an eating disorder and personal growth after heartbreak.

After a year of headlines, heartbreak, and healing, Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia is stepping into a whole new era. One of Barstool’s most prominent female voices, host of her relaunched Plan Bri Uncut,  Sports Illustrated  Swimsuit feature, and Fox’s Special Forces alum, Brianna joins Vic to open up about surviving a very public breakup, redefining closure, and rebuilding her relationship with herself. She gets candid about her anxiety-induced eating disorder, the truth about gaining weight in a world obsessed with shrinking, and what it really took to become healthy again. From solo trips to Scotland that helped her rediscover her personality to hard truths about being “selfish” in your healing season, this episode is a masterclass in moving forward with confidence. If you’ve ever struggled with heartbreak, body image, people-pleasing, or finding your spark again, this one will hit home!
