    Navigating Eating Disorder Recovery: The Myths & Stereotypes of Anorexia | Season 3

    It's been a while since I chatted to you guys... but I am back! And wow there is a lot I need to tell you all. Join me today for a more relaxed episode, kinda like a page from my diary, where I give you all the hot tea on what's been going in my life, followed by a pure rant about all the myths and stereotypes people assign to eating disorders and those people suffering from them, as I discuss what Eating Disorder Awareness Week means to me, and what stage of recovery I am now at.

    The Year Of The Snake: The Final Shedding Before 2026 | Season 3

    January can feel heavy, confusing, and strangely unfinished, and there’s a reason for that. Although the calendar has turned, the Year of the Snake doesn’t officially end until Chinese New Year on 18th February, meaning many of us are still in a powerful period of shedding, healing, and transition. In this episode, I talk about why it can feel like momentum hasn’t returned yet, why clarity comes slowly, and why so many people struggled in 2025 without fully understanding why. This is a heavy episode, but it’s a necessary one. If this year left you emotionally tired, disconnected, or quietly grieving old versions of yourself, this conversation is here to help you make sense of it. We explore the in-between space between the Snake and the Horse, the pause before movement, the letting go before confidence returns, and why you’re not behind, broken, or failing for feeling the way you do right now. This episode is for anyone who needs permission to move gently, finish shedding, and trust that what remains will be real. Blog: Pepetoe IG: @pepetoebyelena TikTok: @elenaoverfield

    The Year of the Snake: Shedding What No Longer Fits | Season 3

    2025 was the Year of the Snake, and if this year felt unbearably heavy, this episode will help it make sense. In this episode, I talk about shedding. Not habits or goals, but identities. The versions of ourselves we’ve been carrying because they felt necessary, familiar, or safe, even when they no longer fit. I reflect on what it means to release what’s heavy and false, to sit in the discomfort of loss, and to trust that what remains is real. This episode is a heavy one, but it is needed. I know so many people have struggled this year in ways they didn’t expect, and this conversation is about naming that struggle without romanticising it. About understanding why this year demanded so much of us, and why the exhaustion, grief, and confusion weren’t personal failures, they were part of the shedding. We also look ahead to 2026, the Year of the Horse: a year of movement, momentum, and quiet confidence. A year where clarity returns, doors open, and we begin walking in a direction that finally feels like ours. If 2025 stripped you back, this episode is here to remind you: it wasn’t for nothing. What fell away made room for what’s next 🤍 Notes: Blog: www.pepetoe.net TikTok: @elenaoverfield Instagram: @pepetoebyelena I love you guys, and THANK you for being part of this wild, painful, but also exciting Pepetoe journey in 2025. I couldn't have made it to this day without EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!

    When Someone Doesn’t Like You: The Spiral, the Story, the Truth | Season 3

    In this Pepetoe episode, we’re diving into something painfully human and way more common than we admit: the deep-rooted yearning to be liked. I talk through my own experience of growing up as the “overachiever,” the person who built her entire sense of worth on grades, goals, and gold stars, and how that made the idea of someone disliking me feel like a personal catastrophe. From school drama to friendship fallouts, from rumours I still don’t have answers for to that sinking feeling of being left out of something everyone else seems to know… we’re unpacking all of it. This episode explores why not being liked stings so much, the psychology behind belonging, and the messy truth about external validation. I also talk through the way criticism shapes our identity, how uncertainty fuels anxiety, and why we start believing what others say about us before we believe ourselves. But more importantly, we get into the real heart of it: learning to exist without needing permission. Learning to be someone you actually believe in. Understanding that your character isn’t up for community vote, and your worth isn’t determined by who claps for you and who doesn’t. If you’ve ever felt crushed by someone’s opinion, confused by friendship drift, or desperate to figure out what you “did wrong,” this episode is for you. It’s raw, it’s reflective, it’s very Pepetoe, and it’s a reminder that you don’t need to be universally liked to be deeply valuable.

    After a Breakup: Showing Up for Yourself | Season 3

    Breakups are messy, emotional, and sometimes isolating. It’s easy to want to retreat, cancel plans, and sit with the sadness — and that’s valid. But it’s also important to remember: you’re allowed good days too. In this episode, I talk about why continuing to socialise after a breakup matters for your mental health, your growth, and your sense of self. From leaning on friends to showing up for yourself even when it’s hard, I share personal experiences and reflections on how balance, connection, and small joys can help you heal. This episode isn’t about pretending everything’s fine — it’s about navigating heartbreak honestly, giving yourself permission to feel, and remembering that healing comes in waves. Some days will suck, some days will surprise you, and both are part of the process.

    Going Through Hard Times, Friendships, Learning Who's In Your Corner | Season 2

    In this episode, I’m talking about something I never thought I’d have to unpack publicly: what it feels like when someone you thought was your closest friend completely lets you down during the hardest moment of your life. This isn’t about blaming or bashing anyone — it’s about sitting with the shock, the disappointment, and the realisation that the people you expect to hold you up sometimes disappear… or worse, talk about you instead of talking to you. I’m sharing the emotional side of friendship fallout: the awkwardness, the distance, the rumours, the assumptions, and the heartbreak of realising someone who should have been your safe place wasn’t there at all. We’re getting into boundaries, honesty, feeling alone, why some friendships don’t survive certain seasons, and how to protect your peace when people’s silence hurts more than the original situation ever did. If you’ve ever felt let down or blindsided by someone you loved like a sister — this episode is for you ❤️ IG - ellieoverfield_ TikTok - elenaoverfield Blog - www.pepetoe.net

    Learning To Heal On My Own | Season 3

    This episode is about owning your mistakes – the kind that hurt people, cost you relationships, and left you questioning who you are – and still choosing to heal anyway. I talk about what it really means to sit with regret, take accountability, and still allow yourself moments of joy. Healing on your own isn’t about pretending you didn’t mess up; it’s about forgiving yourself enough to grow from it. Because you can hold guilt and grace at the same time. You can be the person who hurt someone and the person learning to be better. If you’ve ever felt like your mistakes define you, this one’s for you 🤍 Blog: www.pepetoe.net TikTok: @elenaoverfield Instagram: @ellieoverfield_

    What ED Recovery Gave Back | Hobbies, Nostalgia, and Healing | Season 2

    Today I'm sharing a big update with you all on my recovery journey. A full circle moment. Going back to the hobbies I used to enjoy, the passions that used to excite me, before my ED took over. I'm learning that I can go back to those things, because my eating disorder doesn't get to take that away from me anymore. From playing hockey again, to writing, to dancing in the landing. Those things I couldn't do for so long because I couldn't. An eating disorder takes away not only your health or freedom to eat what you want, but also your sparkle, your passions, your creativty – your hobbies. I'm doing this not only for the person I am now, but for that girl who couldn't for so many years, and for the girl before who had those joys ripped away from her so suddenly. This is your sign to reclaim your life. Take back what's yours. Forgive yourself for allowing that ED to take over (because it's not your fault). Start living life again for YOU.
