Goal #10: Using Style as a Healing Tool in Eating Disorder Recovery ft. Nicole Garfunkel of Styling Confidential


Listen Later

In the final goal we're setting in 2025, we're using style as a tool in eating disorder recovery.

We're joined by Nicole Garfunkel, founder of Styling Confidential, to discuss how clothing and personal expression can become powerful parts of healing. Together, Amy & Nicole they dive into what it means to take up space again after years of hiding, and how getting dressed can shift from a daily task into a meaningful, grounding ritual.

If you’ve been following along this year, you know Amy loves exploring all the different tools that can support recovery - not just journaling or therapy, but creativity, connection, and embodiment. This conversation is a reminder that healing can show up in so many forms, even in the simple act of putting on clothes that make you feel like you.

In This Episode:

  • Nicole’s journey from disordered eating to using fashion as a healing tool
  • Why style and clothing matter in recovery
  • How getting dressed can become a grounding ritual
  • Navigating body changes with compassion and curiosity
  • Reconnecting with self-expression after years of hiding
  • Managing triggers while shopping or trying on clothes
  • Encouragement for anyone who still feels disconnected from their body
