  • Life changing

    I cannot overstate how helpful Stefanie Michele has been to me and how instrumental in my ongoing recovery journey. Her insight, intelligence, empathy and understanding of eating disorders and the binge restrict cycle has changed the way I think about my own story. Her voice is such a crucial one in our current diet culture and for anyone in ED recovery.

  • It’s everything…

    Stephanie is just such a JOY to listen to, when topics and feelings can be very heavy. She brings such a thoughtful dialogue, with scientific explanations, real life anecdotes and experiences, and genuinely helpful ideas for people struggling. Recovering from food and body issues is like a huge puzzle, it’s not linear, and Stephanie guides listeners, without judgement, through the messiness of the puzzle, providing the tools to put pieces into place. Cannot say enough about how she cares for her... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

49. When Fullness Feels Unsafe: Sexual Trauma and Binge Restrict Cycles with Becca Robinson
Q: What role does education about the nervous system play in healing from trauma and disordered eating?
Education provides a framework for understanding symptoms, reduces shame, and increases willingness to engage in regulatory techniques like breath work and somatic practices, which in turn support behavioral change.
49. When Fullness Feels Unsafe: Sexual Trauma and Binge Restrict Cycles with Becca Robinson
Q: How has trauma recovery interacted with your eating-disorder recovery in your own experience?
Trauma recovery and food/body recovery happened simultaneously and fed into one another; progress in somatic work helped unlock food-related healing and allowed cognitive changes to take root more quickly.
49. When Fullness Feels Unsafe: Sexual Trauma and Binge Restrict Cycles with Becca Robinson
Q: Do you see links between the two paths—hypersexualization and restriction—and how they relate to body image and self-worth?
Yes, both paths reflect attempts to regulate self-worth after trauma, with hypersexualization often tied to objectification and self-worth anchored in desirability, while restriction can be about reclaiming control and safety, though both are coping mechanisms linked to trauma.
45. Binge Recovery, "Healthy Eating," and a Kidney Cancer Diagnosis: Suanne's story
Q: What tips would you give someone struggling with fear of weight gain during recovery?
Focus on regular meals, satiation, and health indicators beyond the scale; give the body time to adjust and avoid all-or-nothing thinking.
45. Binge Recovery, "Healthy Eating," and a Kidney Cancer Diagnosis: Suanne's story
Q: How did the kidney cancer diagnosis affect your eating choices and your relationship with food?
Medical guidelines required adjusting foods for potassium and other factors, which reinforced that 'healthy' is context-dependent and not one-size-fits-all.
