  • 102. 3 More Things About Bulimia (Part 2)

    In this episode, I give three more insights about bulimia recovery you might not have heard before:

    1. Tolerate discomfort without immediately escaping it
    2. Stop controlling and punishing your body
    3. A stable way of eating reduces urgency

  • 101. Stop Treating Your Bulimia Like The Enemy: 3 Things You Need to Know

    In this episode, I give three insights about bulimia recovery that most people never hear:

    1. Permission to stop treating bulimia as the enemy — Understanding what your bulimia is protecting you from, rather than being at war with it.
    2. Widening the gap before the urge appears — Why the real work happens in your everyday baseline, not just in crisis moments.
    3. Distraction doesn't work alone — What actually helps when urges hit, and why reducing intensity matters more than "winning" against bulimia.

  • 100. Sorry, You Can’t Trust Your Hunger in ED Recovery

    If you’ve been told to “just eat when you’re hungry” in recovery and it’s not working — this episode is for you.

    In early eating disorder recovery, your hunger cues are often unreliable. After months or years of restriction, your body adapts by turning down hunger signals or sending them in chaotic waves.

    In this episode, we talk about:

    Why intuitive eating isn’t the starting point in recoveryHow restriction disrupts hunger cues

    The stages of recovery no one explains

    Why mechanical eating is often necessary

    When (and how) to actually begin trusting your body again

  • 99. Is Food the Only Thing You Look Forward To All Day!? 🫥

    What are you looking forward to today? If the answer is your evening snack, we need to talk. In this episode, I break down why making food your only source of joy keeps you stuck in binge-restrict cycles, the anticipation-disappointment trap that leads to binges, and what's actually missing when food feels like the only good thing in your day. This isn't about stopping the enjoyment of food—it's about building a life where food doesn't have to do all the heavy lifting.
