EP 16: My Journey Through Disordered Eating
Description
In this solo episode, I crack open the conversation around disordered eating and substance use disorder — and how they can so often co-exist behind closed doors. I'm not an expert, just a woman in recovery sharing what helped me heal. I talk through the shame, the secrecy, and the sticky-note moment that became my turning point. This is my story of getting radically honest — with myself, my husband, and eventually, the world.
What I cover in this episode:
- The painful intersection of sobriety and bulimia: why getting sober didn’t magically “fix” everything.
- My personal wake-up call: how I finally confronted disordered eating after years of hiding it.
- The power of radical honesty — and how speaking up was the beginning of my real healing.
- Setting boundaries was so important
- Why your recovery — from anything — deserves protection, boundaries, and a whole lot of grace.
