EP 208: Your BEST Self Can't Wait! Why You Don't Need to Feel Ready to Start Healing From Disordered Eating


Listen Later

In this powerful episode, we tackle one of the biggest barriers to eating disorder recovery: waiting to feel "ready." Statistics show the average person waits seven years between eating disorder onset and seeking treatment—seven years of suffering that could be avoided sis!

In Episode 208, we explore why "ready" isn't a feeling that magically appears but a decision you make despite fear and uncertainty. Through client stories, expert insights, and practical steps, you'll discover how to move forward in your recovery journey without waiting for the perfect moment.

Whether you're struggling with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, or disordered eating patterns, this episode offers the perspective shift and motivation you need to take that crucial first step toward healing.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:
  • Why the eating disorder voice will never tell you it's time to recover
  • The myth of "feeling ready" and how it keeps you trapped in the cycle
  • How to make the decision to start recovery even while feeling afraid
  • Small, manageable steps you can take today, regardless of your "readiness"
  • The life that awaits on the other side of this crucial decision
  • KEY QUOTES

    "Ready isn't when the fear disappears. Ready is when you decide to move forward despite the fear."

    "You don't have to be ready for the whole journey. You just have to be ready for the next step."

    "Recovery doesn't happen in one giant leap. It happens in thousands of small decisions."

    hope you enjoy this one friend!
