The Wrong Ones

Starving For Control


Listen Later

 

In this deeply personal episode of The Wrong Ones, I’m opening up about the connection between heartbreak, body image, and disordered eating. This isn’t an easy one—but it’s the most honest I’ve ever been.

I take you through the origins of my relationship with food, from a hyper-health-conscious upbringing to my diagnosis with hypothyroidism and later, Hashimoto’s. I share how a breakup became the catalyst for one of the darkest periods of my life, when eating disorders weren’t just about thinness — they were about survival, control, and trying to be “enough.”

This episode blends:

  • Real psychology on attachment trauma, fawning, and self-worth

  • Medical insights on thyroid health, T3/T4, and autoimmune burnout

  • The messy truth about love, shame, and trying to hold on to someone who had already let go

If you’ve ever felt like you had to earn love by erasing yourself, this episode is for you.

 Reflection Question of the Week:

What do you like most about yourself?

Trigger warning: This episode contains open and raw discussions about eating disorders, disordered eating behaviors, and body image. Please take care while listening.

Follow along for more vulnerable, relatable, and laugh-through-the-tears conversations on love, heartbreak, and the art of becoming.
