On this episode of Paved with Gold, we are joined by the incredible Gabby Lubieniecki to talk about her lived experience with a severe and enduring eating disorder (SEED).

We discuss what that means, what needs to change about how SEEDs are treated and, of course, we answer the ever-important question - is there any hope?

**Trigger warning: this episode contains personal discussions of self-harm and medical trauma. Please listen at your own discretion.

Guess who's back! On this episode of Paved with Gold, Callie returns to your ears (with baby in tow!) to talk about post-partum and how this time can be extremely difficult, especially for those who have a history of, or are in recovery for an eating disorder.

We also pick apart the pressures to 'bounce back', birth trauma and toxic portrayal of perfect motherhood that social media pushes.

*Trigger warning: this episode discusses birth trauma, quotes from people who experienced post-partum eating disorders and discussions about pregnancy.

It's nearly the new year so gird your loins - diet season is upon us. On this episode of Paved with Gold, we thought it would be fitting to dive deep into Noom, the 'non-diet' diet app and how it, tragically, infiltrated the eating disorder recovery space. We could only do this justice with our guest Louise Adams, founder of Untrapped Academy and host of the All Fired Up Podcast.

We talk about how it, in our opinion, uses anti-diet language to lure people into their...shock...diet and why this is particularly troubling for those recovering from eating disorders.

In another behemoth of an episode of Paved with Gold, Ash talks to Dr Rachel Hogg about how TikTok affects our body image and its impacts on those with eating disorders. Join us for detours that include the intersectionalities of feminism in a digital landscape, the man0sphere, and why the "rising phoenix" story arc is controversial for those who experience trauma.

Apologies for another long one...I never said brevity was my strong suit.

On this episode of Paved with Gold, Ash debunks the many myths surrounding eating disorders that contribute to the stigma and misunderstanding of these deadly mental illnesses. "Eating disorders are a lifestyle choice" and "aren't they just a rich white young teenage girl thing?" have a (dis)honourable mention, so strap into the debunk-bed cos we're going myth-busting!

"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.
