  • This Podcast Saved My Life

    Kathryn’s teachings and revolutionary perspective on eating disorders genuinely saved my life and helped me find peace for the first time in years. PLEASE listen to her when she says you might also need outside/ professional help (that is cohesive with her approach!). That was the missing puzzle piece for me but I took it as a meaningless “legal disclaimer” for far too long.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 203: Food Noise, Part 4: Eating Foundations for More Stability and Ease (with Marcus Kain)
Q: What are the four basic categories of eating that can help reduce food noise?
They discuss quantity, timing, and type, with a bonus fourth idea, emphasizing that consistent, adequate intake and balanced meals help stabilize appetite and reduce intrusive thoughts about food.
Ep. 202: Building the "I Can Do Hard Things" Identity (with Coach Julie)
Q: How do you handle fear of failure when trying hard things?
Recognize that failure is a learning moment, not a verdict on self-worth; using uncertainty tolerance and radical honesty helps you assess what's truly serving you and stay committed to growth even when outcomes aren't perfect.
Ep. 202: Building the "I Can Do Hard Things" Identity (with Coach Julie)
Q: How should someone start implementing this in daily life?
Start small with one concrete challenging task, notice and celebrate the completion, and track progress to build nervous system trust; over time, this creates a cascading effect where each success reinforces the belief that you are capable of hard things.
Ep. 202: Building the "I Can Do Hard Things" Identity (with Coach Julie)
Q: What is the core idea behind building the I Can Do Hard Things identity?
The core idea is that identity is driven by actions repeated over time; by consistently doing challenging things and recognizing those moments, you reinforce a self-image of being someone who can handle hard tasks, which then makes future challenges easier to tackle.
Ep. 197: Nourishment in the New Year: Rebel Against Diet Culture with Bonnie Roney, RD
Q: Do you believe that intermittent fasting is contraindicated in eating disorder recovery?
Bonnie expresses that for many people with eating disorders, adding another food rule like intermittent fasting can hinder healing and lead to harmful eating patterns.
