Episode 108: You Don’t Have to Do This Alone: Why Support Is Essential in Eating Disorder Recovery
So many people in eating disorder recovery believe they have to earn support — by being sicker, quieter, or more perfect. But what if that’s the very belief that’s been keeping healing out of reach?
In this episode of Fly to Freedom, I gently but powerfully unravel the dangerous myth that you have to do recovery alone. I share openly — including from my own lived experience — why support isn’t a luxury, but a lifeline. We explore the emotional roots of the belief ‘I don’t deserve help,’ how emotional neglect shapes our nervous systems, and the neuroscience of connection as medicine.
You’ll also hear, for the first time in depth, about the Eating Disorder Recovery Circle — the supportive, compassionate membership space I created for those ready to move beyond survival and build true food freedom, body trust, and self-worth. This isn’t a sales pitch. It’s an invitation.
Whether you're just starting recovery or stuck in a quiet kind of suffering, this episode is a hand to hold. You are allowed to be supported. And you never have to do this alone.
