Episode Details

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure." - Marianne Williamson

Today we're talking about the fear that keeps you stuck in recovery—and it's not what you think. You're not afraid of failing. You're afraid of people seeing you fail.

I was terrified of what people would think if I gained weight. Would they think I was lazy? Letting myself go? I wanted to be seen as strong and disciplined. But gaining weight when every ounce of me was terrified? That's what actually made me strong.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why you're really afraid of weight gain (spoiler: it's not the weight)
• The truth about fear vs. confidence in recovery
• Why the thing you're avoiding most is attached to your freedom
• How to act despite being terrified
• What your thoughts about weight gain are making it mean about YOU
• Why choosing freedom over fear is a daily decision

Ready to stop letting fear choose your life?

You're not afraid of eating normally. You're afraid of people seeing you eat and thinking you've lost control.

You're not afraid of recovery. You're afraid of people watching you recover and judging the process.

What looks like failure to them is actually your greatest success.

The thing you're avoiding most is directly attached to your ultimate freedom.

What are you avoiding right now?

• Eating enough because you're terrified of the scale?
• Rest days because you're scared of appearing undisciplined?
• Social events with food because you're terrified of being seen eating normally?
• Weight restoration because you're scared of losing your identity?

Whatever you're avoiding—that's your next step forward.

"Confidence and fear both require believing in something that hasn't happened yet. Why would you choose fear?" - Mark Manson
