Have you ever found yourself struggling to navigate social media in recovery, comparing, doom scrolling, and falling into patterns you thought you'd left behind? This episode is for you.
This week on the Full of Beans Podcast, I'm joined by Sophie Macfie, founder of Soph's Plant Kitchen, cookbook author, and personal trainer, who shares her own experience of disordered eating and how she's built a life that genuinely nourishes her in every sense of the word.
We also talk about the complicated relationship between wellness culture, the fitness industry, and recovery, and why it can be so hard to tell the difference between what's helping and what isn't.
In this episode, we explore:
Sophie's own experience of disordered eating and what helped her turn a corner
Why social media can feel so triggering in eating disorder recovery
How plant-based eating can be a genuine expression of values, and when it isn't
The fitness industry, body ideals and why aesthetics can be a trap
The "strong not skinny" movement, where it lands and where it falls short
Why what you're drawn to on social media can signal where you are in your recovery
Responsibility for harmful content online: the person posting or the person scrolling?
Why defining yourself by one thing, however healthy it looks, can keep you stuck
The importance of rest and slowing down in eating disorder recovery
Please note that everyone's recovery journey is completely individual. The topics we discuss in this episode may not be appropriate for everyone and should always be explored as part of your own personalised recovery journey, ideally alongside your treatment team. We are all at different stages, and that is something to be honoured, not rushed.
