  • EDulting: Beach Body Bullshit
    It's that time of year. It seems you can't shake a sarong without hearing some diet culture BS around getting "bikini ready," and the fad diets are in full force. The unfortunately reality, is that often it's really "relapse season" for many who struggle with eating disorders/disordered eating.The transition from Spring to Summer brings expectations of more revealing clothing, outdoor activities, and changes from more structure (school, work, kids), to less structure. All of these, on top of the extra media focus on diets and bodies, can be extra stress and triggers for those working on recovery from an eating disorder (heck, for all of us).This month we tackle these triggers, the frustration with how the fitness/wellness industry is often the diet industry in disguise, and what to say to the haters. EDulting is hard, but we can do hard things.

  • EDulting: Embodied Recovery
    Tara and I were so pumped to have Tracy Brown, RD as a guest this month on our podcast! Tracy is a somatic nutrition and body image coach and has a wealth of experience and knowledge in helping people come home to their bodies and heal their relationship with food and weight. In this episode we discuss the process of becoming connected with your body during recovery as both a source of important information, of joy, and as a way to live out body acceptance.Like many practitioners who value embodiment, I believe the self is inseparable from the body, that the body isn't just "a vehicle for transporting the soul," so it's refreshing to connect with someone so like-minded.(By the way, I hate that phrase. It's often invoked when trying to convey the importance of taking care of one's body, like you would a car. The problem I have with that is continuing to view my body as an object, something to be tinkered with, maintained, and repaired without regard to the essential interconnectedness and interdependency of mind, body, and spirit. Last I checked, your mind and spirit were not dependent on your car to stay alive and learn about the world and yourself.)  Tracy also has some great resources and tools if you want to learn more:

  • Hell-a-daze vs. Holidays

    It may not be a shocker for me to tell you that the holidays are a time of intense anxiety and stress for all of us, but particularly for those suffering from eating disorders. Work parties, family gatherings, and holidays traditions seem cruelly centered around food and eating, so it's not surprising that many people in recovery relapse during or immediately after the holidays.

    For this month's podcast, Tara and I are tackling holiday survival: pet peeves, planning, and picking yourself back up.

  • EDulting: Calories Count

    In this month's podcast, Tara and I are talking calories. Your body needs energy to recover, and that energy doesn't come from yoga or rest or a great massage. It comes from food. From calories. Unfortunately, we live in a culture where dieting is so pervasive, we don't even know we're dieting. I had a client tell me yesterday, "I don't diet. I eat 1100 calories a day." You guys. Anything below your body's recovery/ongoing requirements (generally speaking, 2500/day for an adult 5' and taller) IS dieting and will only suppress your metabolism. Our bodies are far more complex than a simple equation of calories in vs. calories out. In this episode of EDulting, we attempt to explain this complexity, as well as the struggle to accept it in recovery.

  • EDulting: Intro to EDulting

    EDulting is a podcast exploring the real life, every day struggles with eating disorder recovery while breaking down different recovery concepts and strategies for those struggling with (or loving someone with) an eating disorder. This is the first episode.

    This podcast is hosted by me (Ryanne) and an author/mom/student/recovery badass (Tara). In doing this first episode, I learned that the closet in my office may not have the best sound, that I talk a bit too fast, and I mumble a bit as well. Work in progress, right? I also learned to let go of some perfectionism and just do the damn thing, get it out there, and hone the craft as we go. I hope you will learn something about us, about ED, and about yourself.
