Guests: Susie (69, USA) & Christina (64, Australia)
In this beautifully honest and heart-opening episode, Victoria is joined by two extraordinary women, Susie and Christina, who share their transformative journeys of recovering from eating disorders—well into their 60s. Having met through Victoria’s group coaching community, these two have not only found food freedom and body peace, but also a deep, life-affirming friendship.
They discuss the unique challenges of recovery later in life, the impact of decades of restriction, body image struggles post-menopause, and the joy of rediscovering themselves after a lifetime of being defined by size. This conversation is full of wisdom, hope, and tangible encouragement for anyone who thinks it’s “too late” to change.
🧭 What You'll Learn:
What recovery can look like in your 60s (yes, full recovery is absolutely possible!)
How diet culture affects older generations and the myths about "aging gracefully"
Why menopause-related weight gain is not only natural—but protective
How inner child work, authenticity, and self-love play a crucial role in healing
