  • Ep 259: Reclaiming My Identity After Bulimia

    In this deeply personal episode of Ditch the Binge, Renae shares the unexpected moment—during mile eight of a half marathon—when she realized she no longer identifies as bulimic. After over a decade of battling food, body image, and the shame that came with it, Renae reflects on how recovery slowly, quietly took root until one day… it just wasn’t who she was anymore.

    She opens up about the years of bingeing and purging, the treatment programs, the obsessive research, and the painful identity that felt like it would always define her. But through consistent, messy, and unglamorous work, she found freedom.

    This episode is a raw, hopeful reminder that change doesn't always come in dramatic before-and-after moments—it builds quietly. And one day, without realizing it, you might just wake up and realize you're not who you used to be.

    Perfect for anyone in recovery, stuck in an identity they want to outgrow, or wondering if lasting change is really possible.

    Sarah Fisk spent decades chasing worthiness in all the wrong places—through religion, perfectionism, people pleasing, and even food.

  • Ep 255: I Almost Quit: A BTS Look at My Recent Challenge

    In this episode of Ditch the Binge, Renae pulls back the curtain on what really happened behind the scenes of her recent “Eat Like a Confident B*tch” challenge. Spoiler: she almost quit.

    From pouring her heart into a launch only to be met with silence… to obsessing over a single unsubscribe (yes, even after surpassing her sign-up goal), Renae shares the real and raw emotional rollercoaster that most people don’t talk about.

    This episode isn’t just for business owners—it’s for anyone who's ever wondered, “Is this even worth it?” Renae shows that doubt doesn’t mean something’s gone wrong—it means you’re growing. And that consistency, connection, and being willing to feel uncomfortable are the real keys to success.

  • Ep 254: What to Do When You Hate Your Job- Interview with Goli Kalkhoran

    In this episode of Ditch the Binge, Renae sits down with Goli, a lawyer-turned-entrepreneur and founder of Lessons from a Quitter, to unpack what it really looks like to walk away from a career that’s "supposed to be" perfect—but feels like a soul-suck. Goli shares her journey from checking all the boxes (law degree, high-paying job, external success) to realizing she was utterly miserable and trapped in an identity built around people-pleasing and validation.

    They dive into:

    • The real reason it's so hard to quit: not money, but fear of what others will think
    • The year-long emotional unraveling it took to even admit she didn’t want to go back to law
    • How overachievers often chase new jobs (or diets) without addressing the deeper mindset
    • Why the goal isn’t always to quit your job—but to stop living in survival mode
    • The messy, unsexy truth about community, discomfort, self-doubt, and uncertainty
    • The power of choosing your own “50/50” in life—because every path has trade-offs

    This episode is for the high achiever who's done everything "right" and still feels off. Whether you’re debating a career change or exhausted from constantly chasing external approval, this conversation will hit home.

    • How her journey took her from obsessing to indifference when it comes to diet culture
    • The mental shift that freed her from comparing her body to others
    • Why the real win isn’t weight loss—it’s not letting food and body talk control your life
    • How to navigate relationships where diet and weight talk is constant

  • Ep 250: All Or Nothing Exercise

    Getting back to working out when you have a history of obsessive or extreme exercise can feel like walking a tightrope. But guess what? You don’t need a sports bra, a perfectly planned routine, or an hour at the gym to make movement count. In this episode, I break down why five minutes is enough, how to move your body without spiraling into all-or-nothing thinking, and why ditching the pressure (and maybe even the fancy workout gear) can actually help you stay consistent. If you’ve ever struggled with feeling like a workout “doesn’t count” unless it’s intense, this one’s for you.
