About this episode

In this episode, I talk about one of the biggest dilemmas in eating disorder recovery—knowing when you're actually ready to start the journey. It's common to feel conflicted, questioning whether now is the right time, and being unsure of how to take the first step. If you've ever struggled with doubt, this conversation offers clarity on how to recognize readiness and embrace the journey ahead.

You'll learn how to acknowledge the existence of your eating disorder, recognize the desire for a better life, and discover the importance of support and mindset shifts. By listening to this episode, you'll understand:

  • How to stop rationalizing your behaviors and confront your disorder head-on.

  • Why it’s essential to lean on support systems during recovery.

  • The importance of setting small, manageable goals to move forward confidently and much more.
