New Year: If Not Now, When?

New Year: If Not Now, When?

Ever found yourself waiting for the “right time” when life is calmer, motivation is higher or everything feels more certain, to start recovery? Be that a new meal plan, a challenge, reaching out to a coach or medical profession, targeting exercise compulsions — this episode is all about this common ED trap, and how that moment rarely (if ever) properly arrives.

We talk about how ambivalence is normal and explore what actually helps you start moving forward: tackling perfectionism, working with (not against!) uncertainty, and understanding that recovery often creates the conditions you’re waiting for, rather than requiring them first.

Topics covered:

* Why the “right time” feels necessary – and how the ED benefits from delaying

* The cost of waiting while life keeps moving

* Ambivalence as a normal part of early recovery

* Perfectionism and the search for “perfect conditions”

* What it really means to start recovery

* Reframing “not ready” and taking those first steps forwards

* The key takeaway – imperfect action builds momentum
