In Episode 30 of the Once Upon a Binge podcast, Katy and Becca talk to guest, Sharon, about her experience of recovering from binge eating disorder and being in a plus-size body.

Sharon from The BED Post Blog – poet, blogger, speaker, activist, and expert by lived experience - was diagnosed with binge eating disorder (BED) in 2013 after over 30 years of disordered eating.

We appreciated so much how vulnerable and open Sharon was with us in this episode - she really embraced the essence of the podcast! 

Sharon shared with us: 

- Her experience growing up around diet culture and fatphobia as a larger child 

- How Princess Diana's helped with her recovery 

- Being diagnosed with BED and the treatment that followed 

- The power of community and being around people who "got it" for the first time 

- Weight stigma from medical professionals 

- Mechanical eating and learning about food portions

- How recovery led to activism and advocacy 

- Why body neutrality feels more realistic than body positivity

It's a long one but it is definitely worth the listen! 

We LOVED recording this episode - thank you so much Sharon.

In this episode, we’re chatting about identity — what it is, how it changes, and why it can feel so confusing (especially in recovery).

We talk about:

Feeling like a bundle of contradictions

Over-identifying with food, fitness, wellness, or labels

The grief that can come with letting go of a body-based identity

Why permission to change your mind matters

Parts work, thoughts, ego, and not taking every thought as truth

Whether we have one “true self” or many different parts

It’s a thoughtful, honest, slightly chaotic conversation, with no neat answers, just curiosity and a lot of “oh wow, same.”

Let us know what this brings up for you 💛

It’s episode 28 and Katy and Becca are talking about self-worth. How does not feeling good enough show for them both now, post recovery, and how did it show up when they were in the midst of disordered eating.

You’ll want to listen right to the end on this one for tips that helped them develop a “good enough” sense of self-worth.

In this episode Becca and Katy talk honestly about connection, belonging and how those needs showed up in their lives and their eating disorders. We share stories from childhood (twins vs. isolated homes, big families, role models), how perfectionism and people-pleasing mask deeper needs, and why restriction and binging are often two sides of the same attempt to feel safe.

We touch on spirituality, identity, and the process of integrating the “good” and “bad” parts so we can show up more authentically.

What we cover:

✨ Childhood environments and how they shape belonging

✨ Twinship, sibling roles and protection vs. being unseen

✨ How perfectionism and shame fuel restriction & bingeing

✨ The eating-disorder voice as a false sense of safety/specialness

✨ Spirituality, ego, and feeling both “small” and connected

✨ Moving from conditional belonging to more authentic connection

Today we’re joined by our second guest — Toni Rudd, a registered dietitian who helps people stop binge eating, step out of all-or-nothing thinking and build a sane, flexible relationship with food.

We compare perspectives across nutrition, psychotherapy, and coaching, dig into the RAVES framework (Regularity, Adequacy, Variety, eating Socially and Spontaneously), and talk about perfectionism, diabetes guidance, social media’s influence, and the current GLP-1/“Ozempic” buzz.

If you’ve ever thought “Just tell me exactly what to eat,” this episode will be relatable for you.

In this episode we cover:

- Why a dietitian + therapist/coach combo can supercharge recovery The RAVES starting point (and why “eat what you want” can backfire early on)

- Perfectionism, food journals, and making self-monitoring non-diety

- How diabetes advice can collide with disordered eating — and what to do instead

- Curating your algorithm: the power of an “unfollow party”

- GLP-1 meds, the return of 90s thinness culture, and keeping your footing

- Social eating without the spiral (yes, you can enjoy the cake)
