Leaving behind the ED identity with Emil...

Victoria Kleinsman
About this episode

Welcome to today's episode of the podcast, where I had an inspiring conversation with the wonderful Emily Spence. Emily is an animal-loving, adventure-seeking life enthusiast who has fully recovered from her own restrictive eating disorder. Now, as a passionate advocate for full recovery, she’s dedicated to supporting others in their journeys to complete freedom as a coach.


In this episode, we dive deep into whether full recovery and full freedom are truly possible. We also explore the powerful process of rediscovering your identity in recovery, and we unpack the often complex journey of neural rewiring, especially around compulsive movement.


I’m so excited for you to listen to this conversation, and I hope it brings you insight, hope, and inspiration as you continue on your own journey toward food and body freedom. Let’s get into it!
