In this powerful and often playful episode of Fly to Freedom, specialist anorexia recovery coach Julia Trehane is joined once again by recovery coach Victoria Kleinsman for a short but deeply impactful session—one that’s sparked by a listener request to roleplay the eating disorder versus the healthy self.

Expect laughter, raw honesty, and moments of deep recognition as Julia and Victoria bring to life the inner war that so many face in eating disorder recovery. From food fears to compulsive exercise thoughts, they expose the language of the eating disorder and model the kind of compassionate self-talk that leads to true healing.

They also unpack real listener questions, including:

• “How do I build a life bigger than bulimia?”

• “What are the pros and cons of recovery?”

• “How do I move forward if I’m still terrified of weight gain?”

• “Will I ever feel free in my body again?”

Together, they share personal stories, celebrate recovery wins, and gently dismantle fear-based beliefs. If you’re navigating anorexia recovery, bulimia, or simply trying to understand how to separate from the critical voice inside, this episode offers both hope and practical guidance.

🎧 Plus, hear about the unexpected grief of letting go, the joy of finding your true self, and why compassion is your most powerful recovery tool.
