eating disorders, childhood trauma & healing our relationship with food - ep 10

content warning: this episode contains discussion of eating disorders, childhood trauma, and disordered eating behaviours including anorexia, orthorexia, and binge eating.


in this deeply personal episode, we talk about our experiences with eating disorders, the ways child abuse and neglect shaped our relationships with food and our bodies, and how we’ve been working through recovery - emotionally, physically, and socially.


we explore:

  • the impact of narcissistic parenting

  • the crossover between control, fear, and food

  • how disordered eating can look “healthy” on the outside

  • and why healing isn’t linear but it is possible


this one is confronting, vulnerable, and full of things we wish we’d heard sooner.
