In today’s deeply vulnerable episode, I’m sharing my eating disorder journey and recovery in an effort to give you hope no matter what you might be going through right now. 

This is not just about food, control, or recovery – it is much, much more. 

Whether you are facing an addiction of any sorts, be it shopping and spending money when you’re feeling down, traveling to escape the realities of life, emotional eating, taking drugs or drinking alcohol to numb yourself, or have a negative self-talk that won’t stop, this episode is for you. 

I’m sharing my exact experience of how my two eating disorders began, progressed, and the types of treatments I looked into. And ultimately, how I overcame the body dysmorphia, need to control, fear of certain foods, and all of the tools I have learned in my healing. 

While you’ll learn a lot from this raw episode, I invite you to listen and contemplate the following concepts:

• Change does take time, but anything is possible when you’re open to exploring, learning and integrating 
• What a “Beautiful Binge” and how to change the way you look at food (to escape the negative hold it may have on you)
• Why you are numbing and distracting yourself and tools to overcome these sabotaging behaviors

If you know someone who could benefit from this episode, please do share it, as it can be a lonely journey when you’re battling any number of the behaviors I talk about.
