Feeling in Two Minds About Recovery? 7 Ways to Shift Motivation by Working through Ambivalence
It's understandable that you might be in two minds about eating disorder recovery. Part of you will be desperate for change. Another part of you might be terrified of letting go of the ed. Ultimately, an eating disorder is a coping strategy for deeper issues. It might feel as though it's all about food, when in fact, it may be offering safety, numbing of feelings, identity and purpose.
In this episode, I explore how to work through ambivalence and improve motivation for change. I hope that you find it helpful.

What Helped Me to Heal from Binge Eating and Compulsive Overeating with Ronni Robinson
Today I’m talking to Ronni Robinson, eating disorder recovery coach, author, free-lance writer and public speaker. Ronni has 16 years recovered from 30 years of binge eating and compulsive eating, starting at the tender age of 9 years old. Ronni also experienced an 8-year abusive relationship whilst struggling with an eating disorder. She has written a book about the entire journey called, Out of the Pantry: A Disordered Eating Journey, which came out in 2020. The book's purpose is to help support her own recovery going forward, and to act as a helping hand to reach, as she calls it, back into the "fire" and to help pull others out.
Ronni was on the podcast back in February 2023, telling her story and the journey she has been on to being a recovery coach today. Do go back and listen to this episode if you’d like to. There’s lots of personal sharing about her journey and it’s an inspiring story about what’s possible in recovery. The link for that episode is in the show notes.
Today, we’re going to dive into what really helped Ronni in recovery. Ronni is going to talk about her process in recovering from binge eating and compulsive eating. She is going to share skills and strategies that will give you a deep insight into what is involved in healing a relationship with food and yourself. I hope that you enjoy the conversation.

A quick message from Harriet Frew
Hello lovely listeners. I am returning to releasing one episode per week for the time being. There is nothing sinister happening! I am just wanting to free up time for other projects outside podcasting. I will be releasing one episode (a mixture of guest and solo ones) on Saturdays in the UK. Thank you very much for your support.

Eating Disorder Recovery and Unmet Childhood Needs, with Victoria Kleinsman and Harriet Frew
Today I’m talking to Victoria Kleinsman – a Brit living her best life in the Netherlands.
Victoria is a food freedom & body love coach, inspirational speaker, podcast host, and writer. She is certified in psychology, spirituality and the science of nutrition and is also inspired greatly in her work, by her own personal experience and walking a tumultuous recovery journey herself.
Victoria has overcome anorexia, binge eating disorder, bulimia and an abusive relationship. She struggled for over 20 years with poor body image and disordered eating.
But today, Victoria eats whatever she wants, when she wants, in any amount that she wants. She makes food choices from a place of nourishment and pleasure. She is healthy, confident and knows her worth. Her self-love is overflowing from within and she has, as she describes, ‘oodles to give others’.
This episode has already been released on Victoria’s Body Love Binge Podcast back in February 2024 – as it was a joint episode that we decided to share on both our podcasts. In this episode, we talk about our own healing journeys and how we have navigated through these. We talk about why people don’t feel good enough and the roots of this in experiences and trauma. We talk about suppressed feelings and how eating disorder behaviours help us cope and keep us trapped. We share the contrast and complexities on the healing road from our different journeys, and how we both are living happier and more fulfilled lives today.
This is a truly inspiring and uplifting conversation to provide hope for what is possible in recovery. I hope that you enjoy it.

Customer Reviews
Great content BUT
I find the content of the episodes thought provoking and helpful but the audio is frustrating. The volume of the episodes is inconsistent; I often find that when listening to this podcast after/before others, the volume is much much lower. All the other podcasts don’t require adjustment to volume when listening to different shows but this show requires higher volume for the actual content (not usually intro).
Excellent Content
Thank you so much for the fantastic content of this show, Harriet! It has been so helpful for me as a parent of a teen in recovery and for myself as I’ve come to the realization through her journey that my own eating was disordered. Your episodes on psychology that you just released are top-notch!
A wonderful resource
Harriet Frew strikes a great balance among exploring the science behind eating disorders, encouraging listeners to gain insight through reflection, and providing concrete strategies. I’ll be returning again and again to her large bank of podcasts.
