    You would likely....
    Have more opportunities because you would ask for what you want.Experience better treatment because you would ask for what you need.Care less about the opinions and judgments of others.Trust you can navigate your way through the highs and lows in life.Confidence is a birthright of all of ours.
    Yet, so many of us hold a distorted view of expressing and embodying it.

Hands Down Best Recovery Podcast

This is only my second time ever writing a podcast review, but this podcast is too good not to share its amazingness! As someone who has struggled with an eating disorder since a young age, found solid recovery for 9ish years, but now find myself again in the eating disorder's nasty grasp, the Recovery Warriors podcast collection is like a salve to my soul. I’ve been making my way through the available episodes oldest (2/10/22) to newest, and am sad I’ll be caught up within the next few weeks and will have to wait patiently for new episodes. Jessica has an INCREDIBLE gift of speaking to a large podcast audience with varied lived experiences, yet somehow making it extremely relatable and helpful, no matter what stage of recovery you are in. She is so kind and understanding of the struggle, while giving hope that it’s not just possible, but worth it to find lasting recovery. The Equipped to Recover episodes with Kristina I’ve listened to so far (there’s a lot more I’m looking forward to getting to) and equally incredible and give me so much hope. The lessons and actionable steps from each episode are like gems of wisdom that have helped me momentously as I navigate the process of recovery. So many of the phrases and little nuggets they share are “aha moments” that stick in my brain, and truly help me see things in a different way, shift my thought process, and fight back against the eating disorder. Some of the episodes have also been great to share with loved ones to help them better understand the struggle, and how to best be supportive. I cannot thank Jessica enough for creating the Recovery Warriors company, and for everything you do to make this free podcast available. I will forever be grateful to everyone who makes this possible. Everyone, eating disorder history or not, should listen to this podcast.
