Seeing Recovery Through Ocean Eyes with Lisa Denning Recovery Bites

In this episode, I welcome Lisa Denning, Advanced Life Coach Practitioner/Consultant, photographer, filmmaker, recovery coach, and Co-Founder of the Light ON Foundation to the show. While in recovery from her eating disorder, Lisa had a life-changing experience with a pod of dolphins that led her to connect deeper with herself and her recovery. From this moment, she found recovered life filled with joy that she never imagined existed. Her connection to the ocean has taken her around the world, to witness and capture on film the endearing connections that are happening between people and cetaceans in the open ocean. Lisa's work is aimed to inspire hope and healing for those living with or affected by eating disorders. 

TOPICS DISCUSSED:
• The fear state that prevents those with eating disorders from “following their heart.”
• Silencing the eating disorder chatter and being present in the moment can allow one to experience life free from disordered thoughts and behaviors.
• Like eating disorders, the path to recovery is not perfect.
• How eating disorders rob people of their passions.
• The pain one experiences in an eating disorder can shift to joy in recovery.
• Ways to “show up” and face the challenges that come with recovery.
• How being “seen” can be someone’s biggest fear and biggest desire.
• The healing nature of the ocean and Lisa’s unique healing experience.
