Is there ONE way to define recovery? What does recovery ACTUALLY mean, and how do you know when you're recovered? Our featured warriors in this episode share what recovery means to them, to help you find it for yourself.

No two eating disorders are exactly the same. Because no two people are exactly the same! We come from different families and have different life experiences that mold us into who we are today. It’s the quintessential nature and nurture way of looking at our development. At the same time, there are many symptoms, emotional states, and behaviors that people share in common when talking about an eating disorder.

The same thing goes for recovery - there’s a lot of common ground and common themes, but the term “recovery” can mean different things to different people.

Over the years of hosting the Recovery Warrior Show, I’ve had the opportunity to ask hundreds of experts and everyday warriors for their definition of recovery. Our featured wisdom-sharing for this episode comes from past guests on the Recovery Warrior Show. My amazing podcast producer Andrea, combed through the clips and grouped them into 5 themes that I will be sharing with you today. Which ones will you identify with?

Let’s dive in and see.
