How to Get Out of Quasi Recovery with Livia Sara
This episode is one of the most powerful and expansive conversations I’ve had on the podcast to date. Livia Sara is back—author, coach, and absolute soul sister—and we’re diving deep into the sneakiest trap of all: quasi recovery.
We unpack what it really means to be stuck in that space where you’ve gained weight, maybe even “look” recovered, but inside? You’re still living in fear, control, and limitation.
This episode will shake something loose inside of you. We talk truth, drop f-bombs (you know me!), and hold nothing back.
We cover:
Why quasi recovery can actually feel worse than the ED
How to know when you’re still stuck in control (even if you’re “eating more”)
The difference between acting from freedom vs reacting from fear
Why perfectionism and comparison keep you trapped
How to choose freedom, even if you’re terrified
Why YOUR recovery path gets to look how YOU want it to
Livia’s new book How to Get Out of Quasi Recovery is a must-read if you’re truly ready to go all in. And if you’re feeling a spark after this episode? Don’t ignore it. That’s your truth calling.
