"My recovery was based on knowing that if I could find something that mattered outside of my body, anything was possible."

Today we have a conversation with Suzy Unger who is living proof that recovery is possible at any age. She spent 20 years working as a celebrity agent in the entertainment industry. People thought she had it all together, but she was struggling deeply with an eating disorder and harmful levels of perfectionism. 

Suzy entered treatment and discovered her true life’s purpose behind her eating disorder, leaving her career behind to become a licensed therapist. She now helps others heal from food and body issues, and is a proud ally who is passionate about bringing awareness to eating disorder struggles in the LGBTQIA+ community.

Suzy has an extraordinary recovery story that she started at age 45, and has carried into her 50's. 

Now let’s get into this inspiring conversation with Suzy Unger, proving that recovery is possible no matter what age you are, or how long you've struggled.

"Exercise is a celebration of what the body can do, not a punishment for what it did."

Paul spent so much of his life trying to keep up with the perfect "golden boy" image. This included pretending that everything was okay on the outside, while hiding his true struggles and pain from the world.

Now, Paul is open about everything he’s been through. And in this inspiring episode he encourages you that it does get better. There’s still so much road ahead of you and there’s so much you can do with it if you’re willing to go through the process. Be vulnerable, seek treatment, and really do what you need to do and you’ll be able to get to the other side and do those things you’ve always dreamed about.

For a textbook perfectionist and overachiever, Paul's recovery process has shown him that life is not defined by medals and material things, but by experiences and emotions.

Healing is not a one and done event - it’s a multi layer process that requires an ongoing dedication to confronting your pain and shadow. Healing childhood wounds and trauma is not an easy breezy stroll on a summer day. Opening yourself up to darker dimensions of your story, whether it includes swamps of gooey tar like shame or deep feelings of unworthiness is a brave act. It requires a rebirth. It often requires many rebirths.

To a caterpillar the cocoon is its coffin. And to a butterfly the cocoon is its womb.

Jessica Flint shares how inside her healing cocoon she found the compassion, forgiveness, and acceptance to remove over 30 years of shame and grief, layer by layer.
