What does eating disorder recovery truly mean? In this transformative episode of Fly to Freedom, I uncover the deeper meaning of recovery. It’s not just about overcoming the fear of eating or stopping destructive behaviours—it’s about rediscovering who you are, learning to meet your needs, and creating a life that aligns with your authentic self.

Whether you are struggling with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, orthorexia, or any other eating disorder, FOOD is often a symptom and not the real problem. Recovery is about addressing the deeper layers—emotional, psychological, and physical—that contribute to the eating disorder, helping you build a life of freedom and self-compassion.

In this episode, I’ll explore:

Recovery isn’t a fixed destination—it’s a lifelong journey of growth, learning, and becoming more aligned with your true self. Whether you’re in the early stages of anorexia recovery or further along in your eating disorder recovery, this episode will inspire and empower you to move forward with compassion and curiosity.

Join me in celebrating my incredible client, Laura, a doctor from the UK, who shares her inspiring journey of battling an eating disorder and ultimately recovering not just her physical health, but her mental and emotional well-being too.

Have you ever wondered what it truly means to recover from anorexia—not just physically, but emotionally and mentally, too?

Many people struggling with anorexia feel stuck in a cycle of quasi-recovery, where life seems functional on the outside but feels far from fulfilling on the inside. This episode dives into Laura’s story of moving beyond surface-level recovery to experience true freedom. If you’ve ever felt that traditional treatments aren’t addressing the real root causes, this episode will give you hope and practical insights.

Have you ever felt like a setback in your eating disorder recovery means you've failed? This episode uncovers why relapse doesn't define your journey—and how it can even lead to growth.

This episode pairs with my detailed blog on Relapses : Eating Disorder Recovery and How to Manage Them.

Relapse is a reality in anorexia recovery that can feel incredibly discouraging.  If you've struggled with the fear that relapse means you're back to square one, this episode sheds light on a compassionate way to understand setbacks and use them to strengthen your recovery. Learn how to approach relapse as an opportunity rather than a roadblock on the path to lasting freedom from disordered eating.
