About this episode

In this episode of the Recover to Flourish podcast, I share my insights and experiences on achieving and maintaining long-term recovery from an eating disorder. As an eating disorder recovery coach and survivor, I know firsthand the challenges and triumphs that come with sustaining recovery over the years.

We’ll discuss the key strategies that have helped me and many others stay on track, including building a strong support system, nurturing a positive relationship with food, and prioritising mental and emotional well-being. I’ll also share tips on handling setbacks, celebrating milestones, and continuing personal growth throughout your recovery journey.

Whether you’re in the early stages of recovery or have been on this path for a while, this episode offers practical advice and encouragement to help you thrive in the long run.
