Summary
EP14 - hey guys, i hope you are all good! in this episode, i talk about a topic that is highly requested and that is my eating disorder recovery. i'm not going to lie and say it is an easy thing to go through but i want to create a safe space for you in this episode and show you that it is possible. i hope this sheds some light on areas where you have questions such as how to overcome intrusive thoughts, learning to love your post-recovery body and understanding the mindsets that contribute to negative behaviour patterns. i really hope this is useful but if at any point you feel as though it is all overwhelming and you're not in the right headspace to listen, hit pause and come back another day when it makes sense for you. sending so much love always x

| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, I hope you guys are well. Firstly, I want to say, what a difference in mood I'm in from |
| 0:07.1 | yesterday to today. Yesterday, I thought I was going to record my podcast because I was so anxious, |
| 0:14.2 | basically, that I thought, why not do a podcast when I'm so anxious, right? I was just like, this is a really good moment to share with everyone |
| 0:22.6 | because I was really in the moment. And my microphone could not pick up my voice. When I go really |
| 0:30.6 | into my deep, low moments of anxiety, my voice kind of turns off. I don't speak and I can't |
| 0:36.6 | project any sound, really sound really like I'm really |
| 0:39.5 | quiet voice like I turn into a mouse and I was trying to record and like my microphone wasn't picking up |
| 0:45.5 | anyways I put it down probably a good idea because I was not in the right space yesterday to do |

| 1:35.9 | and i'm going to share that mindset first so you can really understand and i have preached this |
| 1:42.9 | on other podcasts youtube YouTube's and whatever, |
| 1:45.1 | but we're going to go into it. And my new recent mindset and realization is all about this |
