A candid conversation with my husband
Description
This week, in honor of Valentine's Day, my husband Todd joins me for a candid discussion about what it has been like for him on the other side of my binge-eating journey.
In Episode 1, I shared my story. Today this is an unscripted conversation, and I trust you will find insights and nuggets that benefit you.
In this candid conversation, we discussed the initial time I told him about my bingeing (after we were married), the journey we've been on over the years, and how it has unfolded.
Todd has been instrumental in my journey and the healing process, but in this episode, he shares his perspective and advice with anyone else who may be in the same situation.
This is a must-listen if you have a loved one you haven't told about binge eating. Learn what is helpful and the pitfalls to avoid.
Discover how a compassionate ear can change everything, even if they don't understand.
Key takeaways:
1. The conversation is not easy, but worth it.
2. The healing journey has grown our emotional capacity as a couple.
3. Having support is crucial to unwind binge eating. You cannot do it alone. We need a compassionate witness by our side.
I would love to hear your takeaways. Remember, you are not alone in this journey. Reach out if you need my support, you can reach out via DM on Instagram or at hello@janepilger.com
