December 21, 2021 008 | Choosing Life and Finding Joy on Bad Body Image Days
Hi friend! Today's episode has two parts :) I recorded the first half pre-NYC-weekend, and the second when I got home. I reflect on struggling with my body image beforehand, and how I navigated recovery during the trip. The general theme: Life is so much better (more fulfilling and exciting) when you live based on your values, not your body image.
Until the next,
EM

December 13, 2021 007 | I have no idea what I'm doing :')
Hello my friend, welcome back to the podcast. Today's episode is a mind-dump of how I've been feeling and what I've been doing lately, recounted as honestly as I could muster on the pod. I also talk about the impact social media has had on my mental health, my gut-feeling goals I have career-wise, and an intention for facing fears moving forward.
If you're here reading and listening, thank you. I love you.
Until the next,
Em

I felt really good recording today's episode, recounting 8 gifts recovery has given me lately. I hope it leaves you feeling hopeful and motivated to keep going in this fight, even if (especially if) you feel stuck right now.
Until the next one,

November 16, 2021003 | Embracing Imperfection In Recovery
Hi friends! Welcome back to the podcast. Today's episode is short but full -- all about how I define and trust in my recovery, and how I've grown to accept the imperfect, non-linear nature of healing from an eating disorder. It's guided by these questions from a friend on Instagram:
What guided your shift a year or so ago? What led to trusting yourself and your recovery? What made you believe that your way of healing was enough, sufficient, real, and true — not feeling like an imposter or pull of brokenness you are trying to constantly piece together. I don’t mean pseudo recovery but more so accepting imperfect and no expectation recovery.
My answers include:
The pillars of my real recovery

The pillars of my past versions of recovery that wasn't sufficient or "real"

How honesty is a central force in my life and recovery today

The importance of acknowledging how far we've come
Reflecting on these topics was intense! But so motivating. I highly encourage you to do so in your journal or in conversation with others. And if you'd like to share your answers with me, please feel free to send me a message on @eatwithcare or (the new podcast account!) @messagefromafriendpod.

Ok, that's it from me! Until the next one,

November 12, 2021002 | Mixing Social Media and Recovery
Hi friends! Episode 2! This podcast is a real thing!
This one is...longer...and slightly more rambling. Wrapping my mind around my personal relationship to social media is one thing, translating that into a podcast is another.
Having said that, in this solo convo I dive deeper into:
How social media's impact on my recovery has changed over time

How blogging about my mental health positively and negatively affects it

Tools I rely on to maintain a healthy relationship with social media

And in the outro, a reflection on recording and sharing another episode of the podcast...
I hope you enjoyed this reflection. Thank you for taking the time to listen to it. The feedback I got on episode one was so encouraging (and exciting). I'm really happy you and I are here.
Until the next one,
Em

November 06, 2021001 | Welcome!
Welcome to Message From A Friend! I'm so excited that you and I are here. I've been wanting to start a podcast for over two years now, and believe now is a better time than ever to start. I can't wait to explore this new platform and have more personal, casual conversations with this community.
In this first episode, I touch on...
challenging perfectionism in the recording/editing of the podcast

the story behind the name

a summary of what eatwithcare is and my relationship to blogging

a summary of my recovery journey

my intentions for the podcast*

an invitation for ideas from you!
*I spend a couple of minutes talking about how I don't want to give advice on the podcast -- I think the wording here is a little misleading. I would love to carve out space to give advice if/when it feels right. So advice-giving isn't off-limits, it's just not what the entirety of the podcast is going to be.
Ok, I think that's it from me. I can't wait for episode two -- I have a few ideas floating around but would love to hear more from you. You can shoot me a message on Instagram -- @eatwithcare :)
Until the next one,
Emily
