Paved with Gold

"Just think positive!"...is something you will never hear us say! On this episode of Paved with Gold, Ash takes a swan dive into the world of toxic positivity, why it causes harm and how you can navigate your way through all the "good vibes only" platitudes.

Callie is (unfortunately for us!) unable to join this episode as she is off on parental leave, but we look forward to having her back on the pod soon.

On this episode of Paved with Gold, we are joined by the amazing Hayden Moon (they/he) who shares his experience of living with an eating disorder as an autistic, disabled, Aboriginal, and transmasculine person. We discuss the effect that "one size fits all" treatment has on people who live with multiple intersectionalities. Spoiler: it does not, in fact, "fit all."

This is Callie's wheelhouse! On this epsiode of Paved with Gold, we're talking about trauma. Given the high prevalence of trauma in the space of eating disorders, we're devoting an entire episode to it. We talk about what trauma is, how it changes the brain and what it means to be a trauma-informed clinician and provider.

We're really proud of this one - if it resonates with you, please share it with a friend, family member or even your clinicians. Enjoy!

On this episode of Paved with Gold, we are joined by sexologist, researcher and youth worker Kai Schweizer (they/he) to talk about eating disorders in trans and gender-diverse people.

Am I halfway? Am I even getting better? Am I just stuck? On this episode of Paved with Gold, we're talking all about Quasi Recovery - the unofficial 'midway' point of your recovery journey. We talk about what quasi-recovery is, why it's so damn exhausting and offer some advice on how to help progress through it.

It's not about the food, except it very much is about the food!

*Trigger warning: This episode contains references to personal experiences of self-harm, suicidal ideations, substance abuse and sexual assault.

On this episode of Paved with Gold, we are joined by the ever inspiring Iz (they/them) to discuss their brave journey with anorexia nervosa, trauma,  being unhoused and self harm. Now recovered, Iz talks about how they are using their platform to break down stigmas, inspire thousands and create a community for who live with similar illnesses. Plus their adorable assistance dog, Cobie, makes a cameo or two.

*Please note, since this episode was recorded, Iz has come out as non-binary. The names and pronouns used in this episode reflected how Iz identified at the time. Iz now uses they/them pronouns. This episode was kept live with Iz's permission.
