Essential Mindset Shifts for Eating Diso...

Ciandra Birnbaum
About this episode

In this episode I dive into the crucial mindset shifts that are essential for eating disorder recovery. Reflecting on my own experiences as an eating disorder recovery coach and survivor of an eating disorder, I explore how changing the way we think about ourselves, our bodies, and our relationship with food can pave the way to lasting healing.

Together, we will discuss practical strategies to transform negative thought patterns, embrace self-compassion, and develop a mindset that supports recovery and overall happiness.

Whether you're just beginning your recovery journey or looking for ways to maintain your progress, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable advice to help you REALLY flourish.
