Welcome to Recover Strong, a podcast that will transform your recovery from an eating disorder by helping you go from theory to practice to mastery.

Let's get started.

Good morning, warriors. Time to start your day. Keep your head up marching on. Don't

understand in your way.

Hello there, Warrior. I'm your host, Jessica Flint. I'm the founder and CEO of Recovery Warriors, a wisdom sharing platform for all people impacted by an eating disorder. Recovery Warriors provides resources and support to heal your relationship to food, body, mind, and soul. I believe recovery is not only possible,

that lies within you to find freedom from an eating disorder. Today we have a show for all you sensitive big feelers out there.
