Episode Description

If you've ever thought "I can't do this anymore" or "I just want my life to stop being about recovery" — this episode is for you.

In this episode I'm breaking down the difference between recovery burnout and actually outgrowing your eating disorder, because they can feel almost identical from the inside — and they require completely different responses.

One is a sign that recovery is working. The other is a sign you need something different. Knowing which one you're in changes everything.

In This Episode:

  • Recovery burnout vs outgrowing your ED — and why they feel so similar
  • Signs you're in recovery burnout — hopelessness, resentment, progress feeling too slow
  • Signs you're actually ready to outgrow the eating disorder
  • The one question that tells you which phase you're in
  • Why burnout doesn't mean recovery isn't working
  • How to push through without quitting or doubling down harder
  • Why diversifying your life is one of the best recovery tools
  • When to talk to your team before making any decisions
