disciplined vs disordered | ep.21

Ro Mitchell and Jaycie Fry
About this episode

Is it really ‘discipline’ or is it just disordered? Let’s unpack the blurry lines between healthy habits and harmful obsessions… wellness culture's obsession with rigid routines, ‘clean eating’ and 5AM wake-ups are often disguised as self-improvement, but are sometimes more like self-punishment.


In this episode, we share our tips for distinguishing between genuinely nourishing practices and those unwelcome disordered behaviours hidden as "dedication." See you in season two!


Thank you so much for joining us, we appreciate you so much 🩷
