Welcome back! I initially planned to record part 2 of the Q&A with my mum, but plans have changed and so this week we'll discuss 'asking for permission' in recovery.

#122: What to do with no appetite

Oct 13 2024 10 mins

A bit of a shorter episode this week, for a very exciting reason: I adopted a chihuahua! Anyhow, this week's episode is all about what to do when you do not have an appetite.

Lately, everyone and their mom seems to be obsessed with building muscle.

Sep 08 2024 32 mins

What’s the relationship between diet- and wellness culture and eating disorders? Why is it important to break up with both if you’ve had an eating disorder, while someone without an eating disorder can live happily alongside it? And once you know why it’s necessary, how do you actually go about it? In today’s episode I’ll discuss all that and more, giving personal example

#116: Settling for mediocrity
