Episode Description

I've been putting this episode off for months, honestly because I've been scared to record it.

I'm about to have a daughter, and ending the cycle of eating disorders in my family is one of the most important things to me. In this one I'm sharing where my head is at — what I used to think I had to be for her, what I actually believe now, and the specific things I've decided about how I'll talk about bodies and food in our house.

It's a shorter one. She could arrive any day!

In This Episode:

  • Why this feels different with a daughter, even though I want the same for my son
  • Parenting a child with dietary restrictions when you have an eating disorder history
  • How my eating disorder knowledge unexpectedly helps me keep my son safe
  • Why I no longer think I need to be perfectly recovered to raise a kid who is
  • What I'll say instead on hard body image days
  • Why I'm careful with positive body comments too — and what "you're so tiny" did to me
  • How I want to handle it when she's critical of her own body
  • Why "fat" is a descriptor in our house, not an insult
  • What I've learned watching my sister parent her kids
  • The blind spots I know I'm walking in with
