Today on the podcast I interview Emily Feikls! We talk about her struggles with anorexia, orthorexia, and exercise addiction. After losing her mom at age 10, she turned to her eating disorder to cope. It became her life-raft helping here navigate the uneasy waters of life. It also changed how she viewed herself, her health, her life, and ultimately the world leading her to trust her gut and forge her own path instead of continuing to people-please and do what others/society told her to do. She has a chronic illness and also shares how she managed both recovery while still taking care of her health. 

Topics we cover:

-Questioning your thoughts in recovery

-People-pleasing vs listen to yourself & intuition

- Orthorexia and "pursing health"

-Healing your relationship with exercise

-Eating Disorders as coping mechanisms

-The process of recovery- slow and steady
