101. Stop Treating Your Bulimia Like The Enemy: 3 Things You Need to Know
In this episode, I give three insights about bulimia recovery that most people never hear:
Permission to stop treating bulimia as the enemy — Understanding what your bulimia is protecting you from, rather than being at war with it.
Widening the gap before the urge appears — Why the real work happens in your everyday baseline, not just in crisis moments.
Distraction doesn't work alone — What actually helps when urges hit, and why reducing intensity matters more than "winning" against bulimia.

100. Sorry, You Can’t Trust Your Hunger in ED Recovery
If you’ve been told to “just eat when you’re hungry” in recovery and it’s not working — this episode is for you.
In early eating disorder recovery, your hunger cues are often unreliable. After months or years of restriction, your body adapts by turning down hunger signals or sending them in chaotic waves.
In this episode, we talk about:
Why intuitive eating isn’t the starting point in recoveryHow restriction disrupts hunger cues
The stages of recovery no one explains
Why mechanical eating is often necessary
When (and how) to actually begin trusting your body again
