003 | Embracing Imperfection In Recovery


Listen Later

Hi friends! Welcome back to the podcast. Today's episode is short but full -- all about how I define and trust in my recovery, and how I've grown to accept the imperfect, non-linear nature of healing from an eating disorder. It's guided by these questions from a friend on Instagram:

What guided your shift a year or so ago? What led to trusting yourself and your recovery? What made you believe that your way of healing was enough, sufficient, real, and true — not feeling like an imposter or pull of brokenness you are trying to constantly piece together. I don’t mean pseudo recovery but more so accepting imperfect and no expectation recovery.

My answers include:

  • The pillars of my real recovery
  • The pillars of my past versions of recovery that wasn't sufficient or "real"
  • How honesty is a central force in my life and recovery today
  • The importance of acknowledging how far we've come
  • Reflecting on these topics was intense! But so motivating. I highly encourage you to do so in your journal or in conversation with others. And if you'd like to share your answers with me, please feel free to send me a message on @eatwithcare or (the new podcast account!) @messagefromafriendpod.
