Episode Description

Almost twelve years into recovery, and a lot of what I once held as non-negotiable has shifted. Some of it through my own healing, some of it through years of sitting across from clients.

In this episode I'm walking through six things I used to believe about eating disorder recovery and now think differently about: exercise, being "recovered," harm reduction, intuitive eating, recovery content, and keeping it all private. Some of these might surprise you. You might disagree with some of them. That's okay. You're allowed to change your mind too.

In This Episode:

  • Why I no longer think exercise has to be 100% off the table for everyone, and the nuance that matters
  • Yoga, embodiment, and reconnecting with your body
  • Why "recovered" as a finish line bred perfectionism and hopelessness for me
  • Why I believe in harm reduction, even though some clinicians don't
  • Why intuitive eating is a great goal and a hard place to start
  • What I've come to believe about recovery content, including my own
  • Why I stopped keeping my eating disorder private
  • A season 2 preview, plus what maternity leave will look like for the show
