This is for the days when you need strength , you need permission and you need hope. Recovering from an eating disorder, hypothalamic amenorrhoea or excercise addiction could be the most difficult thing you have ever faced. Thinking about it, living it, trying to battle it challenges your mind, your lifestyle , and your identity. Its hard I know, I have been there and it's sucks, but guess what you are braver and stronger than anyone of these conditions.

I am so excited about todays episode; Rebecca shares her personal experience with HA, over exercise, binging and anxiety as well as a positive and inspiring insight into her happy, healthy and balanced lifestyle now. What I love most about this journey is it isn't the typical 'I have HA, I must recover, I will go all in' kind of journey. Instead its almost like Rebeccas body forced her into recovery when she started binging and gaining weight as well as sustaining injuries which prevented excessive amounts of cardio/training. We dig deep on distorted eating behaviors and thoughts and lead into how empowering it is to be free from excessive exercise regimes and strict diets. You can find Rebecca on instagram @rebecccccca     (its 6 c's in case you were wondering :p) @jade.zsarik and the newly created @itsamindgame_podcast . As always thankyou for listening, please like and share with others who will benefit from this episode.

After recording the previous breastfeeding episode I realised I didn't go into much depth on key points. While I know certain terms now if I had of heard them prior to breastfeeding I wouldn't have known what they were. This episode I talk more in depth on engorgement, mastitis, expressing with breast pump, milk supply and tounge ties. I hope you enjoy it 😉 follow and chat with me @itsamindgame_podcast

Today's episode I am sharing my experience breastfeeding. Topics included : engorgement, expressing, breast implants, struggles of over supply, simplicity once supply settles, baby reflux, tounge tie and reflection on my experience so far. Can you relate ? What was your experience? As promised engorgement image will be up on Instagram @itsamindgame_podcast

As you all know I'm a huge advocate of rewiring thoughts to over come challenges and to change how you see and feel about yourself and the world. I have put together a list to help you through. You might like one or you might like them all either way I hope you enjoy the episode and begin to change your thoughts and create the best and healthiest version of you.

Even though I recovered from HA and ED I find myself conflicted between the new or current me and the old me. This is a the breakdown of feeling stuck and the thoughts that go with it

I loved writing my birth plan and it gave me confidence when I was feeling scared or overwhelmed about what was coming (labour). I discuss what I included in my birth plan and how most of my plan didnt work out. That being said I still had a VERY positive experience and I am greatful I created a birth plan leading up to Cosimas birth. I was nursing Cosima while recording and her breath made its way into the microphone, sorry! Find me on Instagram @jade.zsarik let's chat!

I am so excited to be talking with Kristen about her HA story, Bulimia, Exercise addiction, going 'All in', weight gain and so much more. This a raw and unedited heart to heart conversation where we talk deeply about the intensity of our eating disorders and how it 'takes over', as well as positives of the recovery journey and the freedom that comes with it. We also talk about various support systems and medical treatments to support HA recovery. Full disclaimer we are not medical professionals just two ladies sharing our stories.

Are social media platforms aiding your recovery or making you feel worse?? Let's talk about it as often we experience both .. Is the constant question of where is my period stressing you out? You are not alone
