Therapist and host, Malisa Hepner, and Julia Trehane, eating disorder recovery coach, explore the complex realities of recovering from anorexia, orthorexia, and disordered eating. Julia shares how perfectionism, emotional pain, control, and societal pressure shaped her relationship with food and body image, and what it took to begin rebuilding trust with herself. Together, they discuss intuitive eating, nervous system healing, self-worth, and the deeper emotional wounds that often exist beneath eating disorders.

Notice where control around food, exercise, or "health" may actually be covering deeper emotional needs like safety, worthiness, or acceptance. Healing begins when compassion replaces punishment.
