In this episode, eating disorder recovery coach Olivia Soha opens up about her battle with anorexia, binge eating, and the turning point that saved her life. We break down the psychology of food obsession, the hidden signs of disordered eating in fitness culture and men, and why true healing requires addressing root causes rather than just meal plans. Tune in to discover actionable insights on body dysmorphia, letting go of control, and how to turn your deepest pain into lasting purpose.
