Eating disorder recovery is possible, even if it feels difficult at times. So many women struggle in silence with disordered eating and the constant pressure of diet culture, even if they’re not formally diagnosed with an eating disorder.

In this special “Best Of” episode, I’m sharing some of the most powerful moments from our self-love podcast. And today’s topic is eating disorder recovery, breaking free from diet culture and leaning into intuitive eating. You’ll hear bits and pieces of my personal eating disorder story, what helped me recover from bulimia, as well as advice from therapists and dietitians.

You will hear about...

• how diet culture works in insidious ways
• my experience with an eating disorder (bulimia + binge eating)
• the root cause of binge eating and how to break the cycle
• what finally helped me overcome binge eating
• why intuitive eating works is so much more liberating than any diet or weight loss program

Whether you are just beginning your eating disorder recovery journey or you’ve been working at it for years, these conversations will remind you that recovery is not only possible—it’s worth it.

Many women phase bad body image days, especially in a world that equates beauty with self worth.

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and struggled to feel comfortable in your skin, then this episode is for you. The relationship between body image and self-love is complex, but I’m here to remind you that body love is possible.

By shifting our focus from our body image to how our bodies feel, we can reject beauty standards and build our self esteem.

Tune in to learn...

• why the phrase “body image” or “body positivity” is a bit misleading
• a somatic exercise that will instantly help you love yourself
• one question to ask yourself to invite in more confidence and self-love

This episode is not just about body love; it's a heartfelt discussion on self confidence, self esteem, and reclaiming self worth beyond our bodies.
