Episode Details

Can I be real with you for a second? 2025 was blah.

Not bad. Not terrible. Just... blah. Some wonderful moments. Some not-so-wonderful moments. A lot of ordinary, messy, in-between moments that felt really uncomfortable for someone like me who's used to pushing, achieving, and making things happen.

Sound familiar? Because that's exactly what recovery from disordered eating feels like too, doesn't it? Some days are good. Some days are hard. Most days are just... blah. You're not in crisis, but you're also not experiencing the freedom you're aching for. You're just stuck in the gray.

But here's what I'm learning as I step into 2026: I don't need perfect. I need to become.

In this episode, I'm getting raw and honest about my word for 2026—becoming—and why it terrifies me and excites me all at the same time. I'm sharing how my 2025 word "leadership" showed up in ways I never expected (including firing staff, getting burned by a coach, and learning what NOT to be as a leader). And I'm challenging you to find your own word for 2026.

Because sis, having a word of the year in eating disorder recovery? It's a game-changer.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why 2025 felt "blah" for me (and why that's okay)
• How my word "leadership" in 2025 taught me hard lessons I didn't see coming
• What "becoming" means for me in 2026—and why it's the scariest and most freeing word I could choose
• Why becoming is about transitioning from structure to being okay in the gray
• How a word of the year gives you a North Star in recovery when you feel lost
• Why your identity isn't lost in the eating disorder—it's buried (and recovery is the process of becoming your true self)
• Practical questions to help YOU choose your word for 2026
• Why your word doesn't have to be perfect to be powerful

If you're ready to stop waiting for perfect and start leaning into who you're becoming—even if you don't have all the answers yet—this episode is for you.

Let's make 2026 the year of becoming. Together.

💛 "2025 wasn't a bad year. It wasn't a terrible year. But it also wasn't this explosive, breakthrough, 'oh my gosh, everything is amazing' kind of year either. It was just... blah."

💛 "That's exactly what recovery from disordered eating feels like too. Some days are good. Some days are hard. Most days are just... blah. You're not in crisis, but you're also not experiencing the freedom you're aching for. You're just stuck in the gray."
