Recover To Flourish | Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast

In this episode of the Recover to Flourish podcast, I’m talking about something that often goes hand-in-hand with eating disorders but can be misunderstood – Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). If you’ve ever found yourself obsessing over perceived flaws in your appearance, even when others can’t see them, this episode is for you. 

I’ll break down what BDD is, how it can affect your recovery journey, and what steps you can take to start addressing it. From social media to plastic surgery, we will cover it all.

We’ll talk about self-compassion, seeking the right support, and how to manage those distorted thoughts. Recovery is a process, and understanding BDD is a huge step in the right direction. You’re not alone in this, and we’re in it together!

In today’s episode of the Recover to Flourish podcast, I’m answering a question that many of us in recovery ask: How will I know when I’ve fully recovered? If you’re in the midst of your journey, you’ve probably felt that discomfort, the uncertainty of when things will feel better or if you’re “there” yet. I’ll share why recovery isn’t about a set checklist or a timeline but about embracing new thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that allow you to live your most authentic life.

I’ll walk you through what recovery really means and how defining it for yourself can bring clarity to your journey. This isn’t about perfection; it’s about progress and aligning with your values.

Let’s dive into what recovery can look like, and how to celebrate your own unique path forward!

Hey there, friends! In this episode, I’m diving into a topic that often comes up in eating disorder recovery: the fear of weight gain. Whether you’ve struggled with it yourself or know someone who has, this fear can be all-consuming and deeply tied to body image, control, and self-worth. 

As an eating disorder coach, I’ve seen how this fear can shape the recovery journey, and I want to help you understand where it comes from and how to navigate it with more compassion. 

We’ll explore strategies to challenge this fear, create a healthier relationship with weight, and move towards a place of peace and acceptance. You don’t have to face this alone, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way. 

Remember your worth is SO much more than your weight!

Helloooo my loves!!

In this episode of the Recover to Flourish podcast, I’m tackling the big question: Should you go ‘all in’ in eating disorder recovery? It’s a term you might have heard thrown around, but what does it really mean? 

As an eating disorder coach, I’ll break down the pros and cons of the ‘all in’ approach and explore why it can be both a powerful and challenging part of recovery. I’ll also share some personal insights and offer guidance on how to decide what feels right for you in your journey. Recovery is a deeply individual process, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. 

I hope this episode answers some of the questions you may have had about going 'all-in'.

Hey my loves! Happy New Year and welcome to series 3 of the Recover to Flourish podcast.

In this episode, we’re exploring the common behaviour of seeking permission to eat and other reassurance-seeking habits that often show up in eating disorder recovery. As an eating disorder coach, I know how challenging it can feel to trust yourself and your body when you’ve spent so much time relying on external validation. I’ll share my personal experiences and offer practical tips to help you break free from these behaviours, so you can learn to trust your own hunger and fullness cues.

Whether you’re navigating this in your own recovery or supporting someone else, I hope this episode provides you with the tools and encouragement to embrace food freedom.
