017 - Voices of Hope: The Power of Parents in Recovery (with Kinsey Dalbec)

<p><strong>Episode 017</strong></p><p><strong>Voices of Hope: The Power of Parents in Recovery (with Kinsey Dalbec)</strong></p><p>In this episode, Jenni Gaines and Laura Cohen sit down with Kinsey Dalbec, an eating disorder therapist at Equip who is also 13 years into her own recovery from anorexia nervosa. Kinsey shares the story of developing anorexia at 17, the crystal-ball moment in an adult treatment program that changed everything, and why her parents' refusal to back down was the single most important factor in her recovery. She and the hosts explore what leverage really means for parents of young adults, why the "once they turn 18, it's over" belief sells parents short, and how to set firm boundaries without damaging the relationship. Kinsey also describes what protecting recovery looks like more than a decade later and offers direct, practical encouragement to any caregiver feeling powerless.</p><p></p><p>00:00 Introduction and Disclaimer</p><p>01:03 Guest Introduction: Kinsey Dalbec</p><p>02:53 Kinsey's Story: From "Healthy Eating" to Anorexia</p><p>08:20 The Turning Point: A Crystal Ball in the Adult Program</p><p>10:48 What Helped Most: Parents Who Wouldn't Back Down</p><p>13:17 When Help Doesn't Feel Like Help</p><p>15:24 How Recovery Led to a Career in Eating Disorder Treatment</p><p>20:28 The Therapist She Needed but Never Had</p><p>22:46 The 18 Myth: Why Parents Still Matter for Young Adults</p><p>27:15 Redefining Leverage as an Act of Love</p><p>31:15 Empowering Parents to Trust Their Instincts</p><p>35:51 Unconditional Love Means Getting in the Trenches</p><p>39:09 Setting Boundaries Without Losing the Relationship</p><p>43:51 Protecting Recovery: The McDonald's Test</p><p>46:39 Spotting Sneaky Eating Disorder Behaviors</p><p>49:34 Final Words: Don't Sell Yourself Short</p><p></p><p><strong>SUPPORT &amp; RESOURCES</strong> <strong>- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -</strong></p><p>FEAST website:</p><p><u><a href="https://feast-ed.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://feast-ed.org/</a></u></p><p>FEAST programs and services:</p><p><u><a href="https://feast-ed.org/programs-and-services/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://feast-ed.org/programs-and-services/</a></u></p><p>FEAST blog post:</p><p><u><a href="https://feast-ed.org/dear-mom-and-dad-thank-you-for-saving-my-life/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://feast-ed.org/dear-mom-and-dad-thank-you-for-saving-my-life/</a></u></p><p>FEAST Family Guide: <u><a href="https://feast-ed.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/FamilyGuide_UsingLeverage_2025_v2.2.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://feast-ed.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/FamilyGuide_UsingLeverage_2025_v2.2.pdf</a></u></p><p></p><p><strong>Guest Bio:</strong> Kinsey Dalbec is an eating disorder therapist currently working at Equip who has also been in her own recovery from anorexia nervosa for 13 years.
