In this episode I am joined with Mia Findlay, an eating disorder recovery coach and founder of Beyond Body Coaching who has gone from a place of needed help to now providing help. Mia opens up about her own recovery journey and we speak of some of the hardships and lessons learnt. We also talk about some of the benefits and consequences of sharing this journey on social media and we recognise the strength it takes to be recovering in the midst of a pandemic and times of major uncertainty. We discover that eating disorder recovery isn’t just about catching up to everyone’s else, but rather exceeding the average person’s view of their body to realise the falsehood of diet culture. We see that anyone can fix the physical aspect and the mechanical eating and recovering but its in the mental side that all the neural rewiring takes places and true lasting change occurs.
