    [Beyond Body] Letting go of a food and exercise checklist: Errin Witherspoon's story of creative healing and relinquishing control

    "I was using food and exercise as a way to get control of something, anything. Because the rest of my life felt completely out of control."
    In this episode, we're honored to have a courageous voice join us – Errin Witherspoon, an amazing alumni of our Recovery Warriors programs.  She takes us through the transformative arc of her journey, and how she found power in her passion of art and creativity in recovery.

    Throughout, Errin explores the importance of embracing imperfection, both in our creative endeavors and our body image healing process, and reflects on her newfound career, peace, and the blossoming of her relationships and artistic expression - all fruits of her liberation from the shackles of her eating disorder.

Deeply moving and inspiring

This podcast grounds me, inspires me and moves me to tears. Listening to Jessica‘s in-depth knowledge and guidance I feel I‘m moving closer towards myself and my purpose. It‘s a truly wholesome experience of reconnection. I’m so grateful! Thank you Jessica ♥️

Too difficult to use

There are too many different shows all under the same show.

Having the show title in square brackets at the front of each episode means you can’t see the actual title! Because of the way it displays on a phone.

So you can’t see what the episode is without going right into it, which is a lot of clicks and feels annoying.

Plus, Apple Podcasts doesn’t let you make a separate playlist for the ones you want without manually removing all the new ones I don’t want that keep getting added.

And even if I could make a playlist I can’t read the titles as it only displays the overall show in the square brackets.

Please separate the different shows into their own shows, this format is annoying and too difficult to use.

A great tool for recovery

I’ve been struggling with disordered eating for years and have been through various forms of mental health treatment with the NHS. I’ve found the Fear Less podcast series from Follow Your Bliss to be an invaluable tool to use alongside my other treatment. Jessica sums up the main points succinctly and breaks big things into easy to digest episodes. Her positivity and encouraging nature is contagious. Thank you Jessica.
