Recovery isn’t one brave decision or the polished version often shown online. It can involve boredom, grief, uncertainty, louder thoughts and learning who you are without the eating disorder.

In this honest episode, I share what I wish I’d known about letting go of control, why your mind may take longer to heal than your body, and how ordinary choices slowly rewire your brain.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why you don't have to feel ready before recovery begins.
  • Why letting go of control is often harder than weight gain itself.
  • Why your body can heal before your mind catches up.
  • The neuroscience behind why recovery feels repetitive and why that's actually a sign your brain is changing.
  • Why recovery becomes "boring"—and why that's one of the biggest milestones you'll ever reach.
  • How to build a life that's bigger than your eating disorder.
  • Why recovery doesn't remove difficult emotions, but changes how you respond to them.
  • The grief that comes with letting go of your eating disorder identity.
  • What life really looks like years into recovery.

If recovery feels harder or slower than expected, this episode will remind you that you’re not failing. The goal isn’t perfect thoughts around food. It’s building a life where the eating disorder no longer gets the final say.

Welcome to part two of the Recovery Q&A series.

This week we're moving away from weight gain and talking about something that can feel just as challenging: recovering in a world where everyone seems to have an opinion about food.

How do you stop comparing your plate to everyone else's? What do you do when your family comments on your food? How do you recover when diet culture is everywhere? And does recovery ever reach the point where food just becomes... normal again?

In this episode, I'm sharing my own experiences, the psychology behind comparison and diet culture, and the lessons I've learnt from supporting hundreds of people through eating disorder recovery.

In this episode we cover:

  • Why comparing your food to other people's keeps you stuck.
  • How your eating disorder uses confirmation bias to reinforce old beliefs.
  • Recovering when everyone around you seems to be dieting.
  • The difference between self-care and self-control.
  • What to do when family members comment on your food or body.
  • How to navigate "healthy eating" without slipping back into restriction.
  • My biggest motivation for recovery since becoming a mum.
  • Whether you can pass an eating disorder onto your children.
  • What recovery really looks like years later—and whether food ever becomes ordinary again.

If you've ever felt like you're trying to recover whilst the rest of the world is telling you to eat less, move more, or change your body, this episode is for you.

Because recovery isn't about learning to survive in diet culture.

It's about learning to trust yourself enough that it no longer gets the final say.

You sent in your questions, and this is the first episode of a three-part Recovery Q&A series.

These aren't quick answers or textbook explanations. They're the conversations I wish someone had had with me when I was recovering.

In this episode, we're talking about one of the biggest fears in eating disorder recovery: weight gain.

We're getting into the questions that keep so many people stuck, including whether weight gain ever stops, why your body can change even when you're eating what feels like a "normal" amount, how long it takes to trust your body again, and why feeling guilty for enjoying food is actually far more common than you think.

If recovery currently feels scary, uncertain or completely overwhelming, I hope this episode helps you understand what's happening in both your brain and your body, and reminds you that you're not alone in feeling this way.

In this episode we cover:

  • Will I just keep gaining weight forever if I fully commit to recovery?
  • Why am I gaining weight on what feels like a low intake?
  • Why your body isn't broken after restriction.
  • The psychology behind the fear that recovery will never end.
  • How your body slowly learns to trust you again.
  • Why confidence comes after recovery actions, not before.
  • Feeling guilty for enjoying food and how to move through it.
  • The small, ordinary decisions that create lasting recovery.

Whether you're at the very beginning of recovery or you've been feeling stuck for a while, this episode is here to remind you that healing isn't about perfection—it's about consistency, compassion and learning to trust your body again.

Most people in eating disorder recovery spend years trying to get it right.

The right amount of food. The right level of hunger. The right level of fullness.

In this episode, we're talking about what happens when recovery feels messy. When you eat past fullness, feel out of control around food, or stop trusting your own decisions.

What if you're not failing recovery?

What if you're learning something your eating disorder never taught you: how to trust yourself?

In This Episode:

• Why feeling out of control around food doesn't always mean something is wrong

• The perfectionism hiding behind "doing recovery right"

• What eating past fullness actually means

• Physical hunger vs mental hunger

• Why self-trust is built through experience, not certainty

• How to respond after a meal that feels "wrong"

• The mindset shift that helped me stop treating recovery like a test

If you've ever worried that you're overeating, losing control, or getting recovery wrong, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I’m talking about one of the biggest myths in eating disorder recovery: the belief that your body image will improve once your body changes.

So many people believe that losing weight, changing their shape, eating less, exercising more, or achieving a certain look will finally make them feel confident and comfortable in themselves. The reality is that eating disorders often make body image worse, not better.

I explore why body image struggles persist regardless of body size, how eating disorders distort the way we see ourselves, and why chasing the "perfect" body never creates lasting peace. I also share practical strategies for coping with bad body image days, reducing body checking, challenging appearance-focused thinking, and building self-worth beyond how you look.

If you're tired of waiting to feel good enough, this episode will help you understand why recovery isn't about fixing your body. It's about healing your relationship with it.

In this episode of Recover to Flourish, I’m talking about an eating disorder behaviour that is rarely spoken about openly: chewing and spitting. This is something that can bring a huge amount of shame, secrecy, and isolation, yet so many people struggle with it behind closed doors.

I explore what chewing and spitting actually is, why it can become so addictive and compulsive, the physical and psychological impact it can have, and why it often keeps people stuck in the eating disorder cycle. I also talk honestly about the emotions underneath the behaviour, the role of restriction, and what recovery can look like if this is something you’re dealing with.

If you’ve ever felt alone in this behaviour, I hope this episode helps you feel seen and understood.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about recovering from movement compulsions and the fear of slowing down. The need to earn food, hit step goals, or constantly move can become exhausting and all-consuming.

If rest makes you feel guilty or anxious, you’re not alone. Movement compulsions are often rooted in fear, control, and the eating disorder trying to make you feel “safe.”

In this episode, we cover:

💛 Signs your relationship with movement may have become compulsive
💛 Why rest can feel so uncomfortable
💛 How eating disorders tie self-worth to exercise and productivity
💛 Practical ways to reduce compulsive movement
💛 What a healthier relationship with movement can look like

Recovery is not about never exercising again. It’s about getting your life back from the rules, guilt, and constant pressure around movement.

In today’s episode, we’re having a really honest conversation about postpartum and eating disorder recovery. The parts people don’t always talk about. The body changes, the emotions, the identity shift… and how all of that can land when you’ve had a complicated relationship with food or your body.

If you’re in the postpartum phase and finding it harder than you expected, you’re not alone. You might feel grateful and overwhelmed at the same time. Proud of your body, but also uncomfortable in it. This episode is here to hold space for all of that.

We’ll talk about why this stage can feel so triggering, how old thoughts can creep back in even when you’ve done so much work, and what it actually looks like to care for yourself in this season. Not perfectly. Just gently.

We cover:

  • Why postpartum can stir up eating disorder thoughts again
  • The reality of body changes and how to cope with them
  • How to support your recovery while adjusting to a new version of life

This isn’t about “bouncing back.” It’s about moving forward. With compassion, patience, and a bit more understanding of what your body and mind are going through.

In today’s episode of the Recover to Flourish podcast, we’re talking about something that doesn’t get said enough — what to do when you just don’t feel motivated to recover. When you know what you should be doing, but you don’t want to do it. Or you feel flat, stuck, or even a bit numb.

If that’s you, I want you to know this straight away… it doesn’t mean you’re failing. It doesn’t mean you don’t want recovery. It usually just means you’re tired, scared, or overwhelmed.

In this episode, we’ll talk about why motivation comes and goes, why waiting to “feel ready” can keep you stuck, and how to keep moving forward even when you don’t feel like it. Because recovery isn’t built on motivation. It’s built on small, repeated actions, especially on the days you’d rather not.

We cover:

  • Why low motivation is a normal part of recovery
  • How to take action without relying on motivation
  • Small, realistic ways to keep going when everything feels hard

You don’t need to feel inspired to recover. You just need to keep showing up, even in a small way. And that still counts.

I'm back after a short maternity break!

In today’s episode, we’re getting into a question that brings up a lot of fear and confusion in recovery — when do I stop restoring weight… and how do I actually eat “normally” again?

If you’ve hit a point where things feel a bit more stable but also a bit uncertain, you’re not alone. Maybe part of you wants to hold on. Maybe part of you is scared of overshooting. Or maybe you’re just not sure what “normal” even looks like anymore.

In this episode, we’ll talk through why weight restoration isn’t a fixed number, how your body decides where it needs to be, and what shifting toward more flexible, normal eating actually involves. This isn’t about flipping a switch overnight. It’s about gradually building trust, consistency, and a relationship with food that doesn’t feel so controlled.

We cover:

  • Why there’s no clear “finish line” for weight restoration
  • What “normal eating” actually looks like in real life
  • How to move from structure to flexibility without slipping back

Episodes will likely be fortnightly moving forwards as I transition into motherhood.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about a question that comes up all the time in recovery — is it actually possible to love your body?

Because if we’re honest, sometimes “body love” can feel unrealistic. Or forced. Or like something everyone else has figured out except you. If you’re in recovery and still having bad body image days, you might be wondering if you’re doing it wrong.

In this episode, we’ll unpack what body love really means (and what it doesn’t). We’ll talk about body neutrality, acceptance, and whether loving your body is even the goal — or if peace might be a better aim. I’ll share some honest reflections on how this evolves over time, and why you don’t have to feel amazing about your body to be fully recovered.

We cover:

  • The difference between body love, body acceptance, and body neutrality
  • Why social media’s version of “loving your body” can feel unhelpful
  • What realistic, sustainable body peace can actually look like

In today’s episode, we’re talking about something that can feel hard to put into words — how an eating disorder slowly steals parts of who you are. Your personality. Your spark. Your confidence. Your relationships. Sometimes even your sense of humour.

If you’ve ever looked back at old photos and thought, “I don’t feel like that person anymore,” this one’s for you.

We’ll talk about how eating disorders shrink your world without you even noticing at first. How they become your identity. And most importantly, what starts to come back when you choose recovery. Because it’s not just weight that’s restored. It’s energy. Curiosity. Freedom. You.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The subtle ways an eating disorder takes over your identity
  • Why recovery can feel unfamiliar at first (and why that’s normal)
  • What begins to return as you nourish your body and your life

Recovery isn’t just about food. It’s about getting your full self back. And maybe even meeting a version of you that feels stronger, softer, and more alive than before.

In this episode, we’re talking about recovery when your days have zero structure. No fixed lunch break. No school timetable. No clear start or finish. Just long, open days… and a brain that suddenly has way too much space to overthink food.

If you’ve ever found that you eat “better” when you’re busy, but struggle when you’re off work, on holiday, freelancing, studying from home, or in a life transition, this episode is for you. Lack of structure can make hunger cues harder to read. It can make meals easier to delay. And it can give the eating disorder a bit more room to negotiate.

We’ll talk about why unstructured time can feel so destabilising in recovery, how to create gentle scaffolding without becoming rigid, and how to eat consistently even when your day feels all over the place. This isn’t about building a perfect routine. It’s about building enough steadiness that your body feels safe.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about nights out, alcohol, and how all of this fits into eating disorder recovery. For so many people, socialising can feel loaded. The pressure to drink, the anxiety around food beforehand or after, and the fear of losing control can make nights out feel more stressful than fun.

In this episode, I talk honestly about why nights out can be such a trigger in recovery, how alcohol can interact with eating disorder thoughts and behaviours, and what it really means to protect your recovery while still having a life. We’ll explore navigating social situations in a way that feels safer, setting boundaries without guilt, and letting go of the idea that recovery means you can’t enjoy yourself anymore.

You’re allowed to socialise. You’re allowed to say yes, say no, or change your mind. And you’re allowed to build a life that includes connection, fun, and recovery at the same time. This episode is here to help you do exactly that.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about body changes in eating disorder recovery — the ones no one really prepares you for. The physical shifts, the emotional reactions, and the moments where your body feels unfamiliar or hard to sit with.

If you’re struggling with how your body is changing, you’re not doing recovery wrong. This part is hard. In this episode, I talk honestly about why body changes happen, why they can feel so confronting even when you know recovery is the right thing, and how to cope when your thoughts feel loud. We’ll explore ways to stay grounded, reduce body focus, and build tolerance for discomfort without trying to rush acceptance.

You don’t have to love your body to recover. You just have to keep showing up for yourself with a bit of kindness and patience. This episode is here to remind you that you’re not alone in this, and that body changes are a sign of healing, not failure.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about recovery in real life — not the quiet, perfectly planned version, but the messy, busy, full one. The one with work deadlines, family stuff, social plans, tired days, and not enough hours in the day.

We’ll talk about how eating disorder recovery can still be possible when your schedule feels packed, why waiting for the perfect time often keeps you stuck, and how to prioritise nourishment and care without doing it perfectly.

This is about letting recovery fit into your life, not the other way around. Small steps. Imperfect days. And choosing yourself even when it feels inconvenient. You’re allowed to recover while life keeps happening.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about something that doesn’t get enough airtime in recovery — money. How eating disorders can shape the way you spend, save, restrict, or feel anxious around money. And how those patterns often stick around, even when food feels a bit more stable.

We’ll chat about why eating disorders and money control are so closely linked, how fear and scarcity can show up in spending habits, and why recovery isn’t just about food — it’s about safety, trust, and self-worth too. I’ll also share some reflections from my own experience, because this is something I’ve had to unpick myself.

If you’ve ever felt guilty spending money on food, support, or yourself, or noticed that financial control feels tied to your eating disorder, this episode will help you feel less alone.

Welcome to the first episode of 2026. I wanted to start the year with a conversation that really matters.

Today we’re talking about the belief that you might be “too old” to recover from an eating disorder. Maybe you’ve been struggling for years. Maybe decades. Maybe part of you wonders if this is just how life is now. If you’ve ever felt embarrassed for still struggling, or told yourself you should be over this by now, this episode is for you.

We’ll talk honestly about why this belief shows up, how age and time in an eating disorder don’t take away your right to heal, and what recovery can actually look like later in life. It’s not about doing recovery perfectly or starting from scratch. It’s about choosing yourself, wherever you are, and allowing things to be different.

You’re not behind. You haven’t missed your chance. And it’s never too late to build a life that feels freer and more peaceful around food and your body.

I’m really glad you’re here, let's start 2026 with positive recovery vibes!

This episode is for the days when recovery feels heavy. When you’re doing all the right things and still feel worn down, fed up, or just wondering how much longer you can keep this up. If you’re tired of thinking about food, tired of challenging thoughts, tired of needing support… you’re not alone.

In this episode, I’m talking honestly about recovery fatigue. Why it happens, why it doesn’t mean you’re failing, and how to keep going when your energy is low and your motivation has dipped. We’ll talk about slowing the pace without giving up, finding steadiness instead of pushing harder, and reminding yourself why you started when things feel endless.

This is also the final episode of 2025, and it felt right to end the year with something real and grounding. Recovery isn’t about powering through at all costs. Sometimes it’s about resting, regrouping, and choosing to stay, even when you’re exhausted.

Sending positive thoughts into the New Year... we got this team!

In today’s episode, we’re talking honestly about pregnancy, body changes, and eating disorder recovery. This is the stuff that often gets brushed over. The emotions, the fear, the identity shifts, and the old thoughts that can resurface when your body starts changing in ways you can’t control.

I’m sharing what it’s really like navigating pregnancy when you have a history of an eating disorder. The good parts, the hard parts, and the very human moments in between. We’ll talk about why body image can feel extra loud, why struggling doesn’t mean you’re failing, and how recovery can deepen during this season rather than disappear.

If you’re pregnant, trying to conceive, or simply scared of what pregnancy might bring up because of your past with food and your body, this episode is for you. You’re not broken for finding this hard. And you’re definitely not alone.

In today’s episode , we’re talking about something that so many people in recovery struggle with this time of year — the DREADED food guilt. The festive season brings a lot of joy, but it also brings bigger meals, different foods, family gatherings, and loads of mixed emotions. If you’ve been feeling guilty, overwhelmed, or “out of control” around food during the holidays, you’re not alone at all.

In this episode, we’ll chat about why food guilt shows up so strongly during the festive season, how diet culture makes it even louder, and what you can do to ground yourself when those thoughts start creeping in. I’ll walk you through some ways to stay connected to your recovery, remind yourself that you’re allowed to enjoy food, and move through the season with a bit more ease and compassion.

Happy Holidays! 🎄

In today’s episode, we’re talking about something that sounds simple but can feel incredibly hard in eating disorder recovery: learning how to rest. If you’re used to pushing yourself, staying busy, or relying on movement to cope, slowing down can feel unsafe or even “wrong.” I get it, rest was one of the hardest parts for me too.

In this episode, we’ll chat about why rest is so important for your physical and emotional recovery, why it feels so uncomfortable at first, and how you can start to build a healthier, kinder relationship with downtime. Rest isn’t laziness. It’s part of healing, and your body needs it just as much as it needs food.

In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into body dysmorphia — what it is, how it shows up, and why it can make daily life feel so overwhelming. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of checking, comparing, or fixating on certain parts of your body, you’re definitely not alone. I’ll break down how body dysmorphia develops, the link it has with eating disorders, and why it’s not something you can “snap out of.”

We’ll discuss the emotional, brain-based, and practical aspects of coping with these thoughts. And most importantly, we’ll chat about what recovery can actually look like, from someone who has walked in your shoes.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by the wonderful Jackie — a trauma-informed therapist and eating disorder recovery specialist who’s also walked her own path of recovery. We dive into how trauma, bullying, and early childhood experiences can shape the way we relate to food, our bodies, and ourselves. Jackie brings such a grounded mix of professional insight and lived experience, and she explains in such a compassionate way how these early wounds can stay alive in our patterns around eating.

We talk about what healing actually looks like, why compassion is so central, and how trauma-informed support can help you reconnect with trust, safety, and your true self. Whether your past feels “big” or “small,” this conversation will help you make sense of why your eating disorder developed and how you can move forward with more understanding and hope.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into two traits that show up a lot in eating disorders, people pleasing and perfectionism. If you’ve ever found yourself trying to make everyone happy, or feeling like you need to get everything just right to be good enough, this one’s for you.

I’ll talk about how these patterns can feed into disordered eating, where they really come from, and how to start loosening their grip in recovery. We’ll also chat about what it means to find your worth outside of how “perfect” or “easy” you are for others. It’s not about changing who you are — it’s about learning to show up for yourself with the same care you give everyone else.

In this episode of the Recover to Flourish podcast, we’re talking about something I know so many of you deal with, which is food overwhelm and indecision.

You know that feeling when choosing what to eat feels impossible, even though you’re hungry and want to move forward in recovery? I’ve been there too.

In this episode, we’ll chat about why this happens, what’s really going on beneath the surface, and how to make food decisions feel a little less stressful. I’ll share some practical ways to take the pressure off, build confidence with your choices, and find a bit more calm around meals.

Recovery isn't about perfection, it is about making it a little more manageable one step at a time.

In today's episode, we’re diving into something that’s not talked about enough — the overlap between OCD and eating disorders. If you’ve ever noticed that your food rules, rituals, or routines feel more like compulsions, or that anxiety drives many of your eating behaviours, this one’s for you.

I’ll break down how OCD and eating disorders can feed into each other, what signs to look out for, and how to start untangling the two so you can move toward real recovery. It’s such an important conversation because understanding the why behind your behaviours helps you build the tools to change them.

Hope this helps you understand the overlap a little better.

In today’s episode of the Recover to Flourish podcast, we’re unpacking a really harmful myth that so many people in recovery struggle with — the idea that you’re not “sick enough” to have an eating disorder.

Maybe you’ve felt like your struggles don’t count because you don’t look a certain way or haven’t hit some invisible threshold. I get it — I’ve been there too.

In this episode, I’ll share why this mindset is so damaging, where it comes from, and how to start validating your own experience, no matter what your eating disorder has looked like.

You don’t have to reach a crisis point to deserve help or healing. Recovery belongs to everyone who’s struggling, and I want to help you see that your pain is valid and your recovery is worth it.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about something that can feel a bit wild in recovery: extreme hunger after weight restoration.

If you’ve been eating enough to restore your weight and suddenly feel like your body is asking for way more than you expect, you’re not alone. I’ll share why this happens, how it’s actually a normal and healthy part of your body rebalancing, and some tips for managing it without feeling overwhelmed or guilty.

Recovery can feel unpredictable, but understanding what your body is telling you helps you trust yourself more. I hope this reassures you a little.

Welcome back to a brand new season of the Recover to Flourish podcast! In this first episode of Season 4, we’re diving into a tricky but super common challenge in recovery: eating when you’re not feeling hungry.

I know how confusing and even uncomfortable it can feel to eat when your body isn’t sending clear hunger signals, and it can make recovery feel a lot harder than it already is.

In this episode, I’ll share why this happens, what it means for your body and mind, and some practical ways to navigate eating without hunger cues. Recovery isn’t about waiting for your body to “tell you it’s ready”, it’s about trusting yourself, listening differently, and moving forward even when it feels a bit strange.

Let's do this together!

Welcome to the last episode of season 3! In today’s solo chat, we’re talking about something that comes up for so many of us in recovery: weight gain. I know it can feel scary, overwhelming, and sometimes even impossible to accept.

I’ll share why weight gain is actually a normal and healthy part of healing, how to manage the fear and emotions that come with it, and some practical ways to cope without letting it derail your recovery.

After this, I’m taking a short break and will be back in October with season 4, for more chats, tips, and support for your recovery journey.

In this episode of the Recover to Flourish podcast, we’re talking about something that can feel a little overwhelming – interpreting blood lab results during eating disorder recovery.

Whether you're getting blood work to check on your health or working with a medical team, it can be tricky to understand what those numbers really mean. I’ll walk you through how to look at your results with a realistic lens, how to avoid jumping to conclusions, and why it’s important to focus on overall healing, not just a single number.

Recovery is about much more than what’s on a sheet of paper, but understanding these results is still a valuable part of the process. I hope it helps!

In this episode of the Recover to Flourish podcast, we’re diving into something that can be pretty confusing in recovery: mental hunger.

You’ve probably experienced that feeling of hunger in your mind rather than your body – that constant thinking about food, even after eating. I’ll talk about what mental hunger really is, why it happens during eating disorder recovery, and most importantly, how to respond to it without getting overwhelmed.

I know it can be frustrating when your mind keeps asking for more food, but it’s actually a sign your body is healing. I’m here to help you make sense of it, find ways to manage it, and approach it with compassion as you continue your recovery journey.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into a tough but important topic – the truth about being “skinny” and the impact of the SkinnyTok era. With social media constantly bombarding us with images of a specific body type, it’s easy to get caught up in the idea that being thin is the ultimate goal. But is it really? I’ll share my thoughts on what being “skinny” really means, how society’s obsession with thinness affects our mental health, and how we can shift our mindset to embrace body diversity and self-compassion instead.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

  • The harmful effects of the “skinny ideal” in today’s social media culture.
  • Why striving for a “skinny” body can be dangerous in eating disorder recovery.
  • How to challenge the narratives around thinness and focus on health and happiness instead.

It’s time to challenge what we’ve been taught about body size and start embracing our bodies for what they are.

  • Why rewiring your brain can help shift your thoughts and behaviors.

In today’s episode, we’re talking all about meal plans – how, when, and why to use them in eating disorder recovery. Meal plans can be a helpful tool, but they can also bring up a lot of anxiety and resistance, so I want to break down how to approach them in a way that feels supportive, not restrictive.

I’ll share when using a meal plan might be a good idea and how to stay flexible with food without feeling trapped by numbers or rules.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

  • Why meal plans can be useful in early recovery to create structure and consistency.
  • How to use meal plans without letting them control you or trigger old habits.
  • When to move away from a structured meal plan and listen more to your body.

Meal plans aren’t one-size-fits-all, and in recovery, they’re just a tool to help you along the way.

In this episode of the Recover to Flourish podcast, we’re talking about something that can be tricky to navigate: getting stuck in quasi eating disorder recovery. You know, when you’re doing enough to feel like you’re making progress, but you’re still holding on to some of the old behaviors or mindsets. It’s like you’re in recovery, but not quite fully in it yet. Trust me, I’ve been there, and I know how confusing it can be. In this episode, I’ll dive into why this happens and what you can do to move forward.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

  • What “quasi” recovery really looks like and why it’s so easy to get stuck in.
  • How to identify when you’re holding back from full recovery.
  • The importance of really letting go of eating disorder habits to create lasting change.
  • Practical tips for breaking through the barriers that keep you in the “almost there” zone.
  • How to practice self-compassion while moving forward, even if it feels slow.

Recovery doesn’t happen overnight, and it’s okay if you feel like you’re in this middle space. But you can break free from the “quasi” stage, and I’m here to help you with it.

In this episode of the Recover to Flourish podcast, I’m addressing a question that I hear a lot: Will I get unfit if I stop doing cardio during eating disorder recovery? I totally get why this might be a worry, especially if you’ve been using exercise as a way to control your body or manage your food intake. But here’s the thing – recovery is about healing your body, mind, and relationship with movement. In this episode, I’ll talk about why it’s important to take a step back from cardio in recovery and how you can focus on restoring balance and health without the pressure of intense exercise.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

  • Why stopping cardio can actually be a positive thing for your recovery.
  • The impact of excessive cardio on your body and mental health during recovery.
  • How to shift your mindset from “fitness” to “health” in a more balanced way.
  • What to do instead of cardio to stay connected to your body and move for joy.
  • How to release the fear of “losing fitness” and focus on true healing.

It’s normal to have worries about getting “unfit,” but I’ll help you understand how recovery is about so much more than fitness. Let’s talk about how you can embrace a healthier relationship with movement and let go of those cardio-driven fears.

In this episode, we’re talking about something that can feel really uncomfortable in recovery – the messy middle. You know, that part of the journey when things aren’t perfectly ‘recovered,’ but you’re also not in the same place as when you started. It can feel messy, confusing, and even a bit frustrating.

But guess what? That messy middle is where a lot of the real growth happens. I’ll share why embracing this phase is so important and how you can learn to sit with the discomfort, without feeling like you’re doing it wrong.

Recovery isn’t linear, and it’s okay to not have everything figured out. So, let’s dive into how you can move through the messy middle with compassion, patience, and a bit of self-kindness.

In today’s episode of the Recover to Flourish podcast, I’m tackling a question that comes up a lot in recovery: Can you ever lose weight again after an eating disorder? It’s a question that can stir up a lot of emotions and confusion, and I get it – it’s not an easy one to answer.

So, let’s talk about it. I’ll share my thoughts and experiences on why this question isn’t as straightforward as it may seem, and why, in recovery, the focus should be on health, not weight loss. I’ll also dive into what it really means to heal your relationship with your body and why weight doesn’t define your worth or progress in recovery. If this question has been on your mind, I hope this episode brings some clarity and peace.

In today’s solo episode of the Recover to Flourish podcast, we’re diving into a tricky topic: what to do when you’ve restored weight on a low intake and are wondering where to go from here. If you’ve found yourself in this situation, you’re not alone, and it’s completely normal to feel a little uncertain.

I’ll share my personal experience with weight restoration and why it’s so important to focus on increasing your intake to nourish your body properly. We’ll also discuss how to navigate this phase in recovery with compassion, making sure you’re moving toward health, rather than staying stuck in a restrictive mindset.

Recovery is about more than just weight – it’s about learning to trust your body and fuel it for long-term wellness.

In today’s episode of the Recover to Flourish podcast, we’re tackling a big question – Should I get into the fitness world while recovering from an eating disorder? If you’ve ever wondered whether it's okay to pursue fitness during recovery or if it might set you back, you’re not alone.

As someone who has navigated this very path, I’ll share my personal experience and offer some realistic advice on how to approach fitness in a way that supports your recovery, rather than hindering it. We’ll talk about listening to your body, finding balance, and how to avoid falling into old patterns.

Recovery is about building a healthy relationship with yourself and your body, and fitness can be part of that, but only if it’s approached with care and mindfulness.

In this episode of the Recover to Flourish podcast, I’m exploring something many people don’t talk about – the addiction to feeling hungry. If you’ve ever felt a sense of control or comfort from hunger, this episode is for you.

As someone who’s walked through eating disorder recovery, I know how an eating disorder can become addictive in ways that go beyond the food itself. In this episode, I’ll talk about why hunger can feel like a source of security, how this pattern develops, and why it’s so challenging to break free.

I’ll also share some tips on how to start healing this addictive cycle and reconnect with your body’s true needs. Recovery isn’t easy, but I’m here to support you as we tackle this 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.

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.

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'.

In this episode, we’re diving into a topic that often comes up in recovery: the over-reliance on fruits and vegetables during eating disorders. As an eating disorder recovery coach, I’ve seen many individuals (and at moments myself!) cling to these foods as a way to feel safe or in control.

In this episode of Recover to Flourish, I dive into a topic that many individuals with eating disorders struggle with: feeling like they are not "sick enough" for recovery. As someone who has experienced this feeling myself, I know how challenging it can be to seek help and support when you feel like your symptoms aren't "bad enough."

Through my own experience and research, I explore the reasons why individuals with eating disorders may feel this way, including the glamorisation and trivialisation of eating disorders in the media, distorted body image and behaviours, and feelings of shame or stigma. I also offer practical tips and strategies for overcoming the comparison trap and seeking the help and support you need to recover.

If you're struggling with feeling like you're not "sick enough" for eating disorder recovery, this episode is for you. Join me as we explore this common experience and work towards a more compassionate and supportive approach to recovery.

Welcome to the Recover To Flourish podcast, where we explore all aspects of eating disorder recovery. In today's episode, we'll be discussing body image and how to rebuild a positive body image in eating disorder recovery.

Body image is a complex topic that can be challenging to navigate, especially for those in recovery. Negative body image is a common struggle among individuals with eating disorders, and it can be difficult to know where to start when trying to rebuild a positive body image.

In this episode, we'll be exploring some practical tips and strategies for cultivating a positive body image in recovery. We'll talk about how to recognise and challenge negative self-talk, the importance of self-compassion, how to focus on our abilities rather than appearance, and the impact of social media and other external factors on body image.

We'll also touch on why it's normal to have bad body image days in recovery, and how to cope with those difficult times.

As always, i'll draw on personal experience, expert advice, and scientific research to guide our discussion. Whether you're in the early stages of recovery or further along in your journey, this episode will offer insights and inspiration for cultivating a positive body image and thriving in recovery.

Join me for this important conversation on body image and eating disorder recovery.
Thanks for tuning in to the Recover To Flourish podcast.
