  1. Number 1: Am I Recovered Enough? [Bonus Episode]

    Tina has done so much healing, and her question becomes: when is recovery “enough”? In this conversation, listener Tina shares a recovery story that will feel deeply familiar to many listeners: years of restriction, calorie counting, binge eating, fear foods, food obsession—and then a long, thoughtful climb toward something much steadier. She’s no longer trapped in the binge-restrict cycle. Food doesn’t dominate her life the way it once did. She can eat fear foods. Enjoy social meals. Loosen the rules. And yet… She still has some food noise. She still loosely knows the numbers. She’d still happily snap her fingers and lose a few pounds. So does that mean she’s not really recovered? Or is this what recovery actually looks like for many people, not perfection, but a sustainable middle ground? In this episode, we talk about the so-called “messy middle” of recovery, the pressure to achieve perfect food freedom, and why all-or-nothing thinking can sneak into healing just as easily as it sneaks into dieting. In this episode, you’ll hear: Whether “fully recovered” is even a meaningful or realistic standard Why the internet’s version of recovery can sometimes create unnecessary pressure The difference between disordered eating and normal human imperfection When calorie awareness is useful, and when it becomes a problem Why some structure can support recovery instead of sabotaging it The difference between occasional overeating and binge eating How perfectionism can distort your expectations of healing Why recovery may be less about arriving somewhere and more about ongoing flexibility How to decide whether your current relationship with food is actually costing you anything This is such an important conversation for anyone who has ever wondered: If I still stress about food sometimes… am I doing recovery wrong? Because maybe healing isn’t about becoming a perfectly intuitive, salad-in-a-meadow person. Maybe it’s about building a relationship with food that gives you your life back. New to the show?

  2. Number 2: Emotional Confidence: Trusting Yourself With Whatever Comes

    What happens when things are actually going well—and your brain immediately starts waiting for something to go wrong? In this episode, we talk about emotional confidence: the ability to trust yourself with change, uncertainty, disappointment, and even happiness. You’ll hear why bracing for future pain doesn’t protect you from it, how recovery involves learning to tolerate normal variation rather than trying to keep life perfectly steady, and why confidence is often built by remembering what you’ve already survived. We also explore the difference between recognizing a helpful “tailwind” and slipping into a restrictive famine mindset, how to treat body weight as information rather than a verdict, and why there is no making up for yesterday—there is only taking care of yourself right now. This week’s experiment: choose one emotion you’re still learning to handle without eating, restricting, numbing, or escaping, and practice telling yourself, “This is a feeling I’m building confidence with.” New to the show?

  3. Number 3: “Might as Well” Urges: What You Need to Do to Stop Them

    One unplanned food choice can quickly turn into “I already blew it, so I might as well keep going.” In this episode, Georgie explains why eating-because-I-ate urges are a form of pain-relief eating: food is used to escape the guilt, fear, or disappointment caused by the previous eating. You’ll learn how to interrupt the loop with a simple response, and why dietary imperfection is a skill worth practising. Georgie also shares practical steps for stopping the escalation without restricting, compensating, or turning one imperfect moment into an entire day of eating. In this episode:Why one off-plan choice can trigger more eatingHow guilt and shame fuel the urgeWhat “damage control” actually meansWhy compensation makes the cycle worseHow to practise dietary imperfectionWhat to do in the moment when “might as well” appearsFor coaching, visit confidenteaters.com.
