Episode Guest: Caitlin Butler  is an eating disorder recovery coach and founder of Bold Bites HQ, where she creates tools and merch that make recovery visible, unapologetic, and achievable. After being told by doctors and treatment programs that she was “too far gone” and pressured to follow their rules—or not recover at all—Caitlin found her own way, and now helps others do the same. Through her care packages, apparel, her work as a recovery coach and her resources, Caitlin empowers people to stop apologizing for their hunger, take up space unapologetically, and challenge the toxic messages that keep recovery feeling out of reach. Bold Bites HQ is a rebellion against diet culture and broken systems, built for those who’ve been gaslit, silenced, or ignored. Caitlin’s mission is clear: provide real support for real recovery, one bold bite at a time.
