    Meg’s Story Part 2

    JOIN THE REWIRED IN ACTION COMMUNITY: www.rewiredinaction.com/  In Part 2 of Meg’s story, we pick up with what recovery actually looked like once she started working with our wonderful psychologist. We’ll be talking about the practical side of treatment and how she managed to keep taking steps forward when recovery felt incredibly uncomfortable (understatement!). We also get into weight gain and the space left behind when the ED starts to loosen its grip. Plus, we’ll go through some of the tips, tricks and tools we both continue to use to this day, alongside what recovery has changed for Meg beyond “just” the food.  Topics covered: Treatment and food challenges The reality of weight gain Learning to act despite discomfort Support from partners and other people around you Finding your own self-permission in recovery The “pie chart of life” and rebuilding your world Tools we still use today What recovery has changed for Meg beyond food For more information or to join the Rewired Community: www.rewiredinaction.com/ Connect with us: MegInstagram: @megsy_recoveryYouTube: Megsy RecoveryTikTok: megsy recovery SafiaInstagram: @safia_edrecoverycoachEmail: hello@safiaed.comWebsite: www.safiaed.com Em (copywriter & editor)Instagram: @em_schone Tallulah Self (podcast editor)Instagram: @tallulahself Disclaimer Please keep in mind we're not medical professionals, and the podcast content reflects our own experiences and opinions, so it shouldn't be taken as medical advice.

    Meg’s Story Part 1

    JOIN THE REWIRED IN ACTION COMMUNITY: www.rewiredinaction.com/ Following Safia’s story, today, Meg shares her recovery experience — where her ED started, how things developed over the years, and what happened as she moved through different stages of treatment. It wasn’t a straightforward timeline (recovery timelines rarely are!). There were periods of getting better, moving countries, starting again and relapsing. We also explore the moment when Meg realised that looking healthier and eating in a certain way didn’t necessarily mean she was recovered, and how working with someone who understood eating disorders helped her recognise the rules that were still running her life. Topics covered: How Meg’s eating disorder began Early treatment and hospitalisation Moving abroad and changes in recovery Relapse and returning to old patterns The difference between looking better and being recovered Hidden rules  Finding specialised eating disorder support The point when recovery started to feel different For more information or to join the Rewired Community: www.rewiredinaction.com/ Connect with us: MegInstagram: @megsy_recoveryYouTube: Megsy RecoveryTikTok: megsy recovery SafiaInstagram: @safia_edrecoverycoachEmail: hello@safiaed.comWebsite: www.safiaed.com Em (copywriter & editor)Instagram: @em_schone Tallulah Self (podcast editor)Instagram: @tallulahself Disclaimer Please keep in mind we're not medical professionals, and the podcast content reflects our own experiences and opinions, so it shouldn't be taken as medical advice.

    Eating Disorder Mind Games

    JOIN THE REWIRED IN ACTION COMMUNITY: www.rewiredinaction.com/ Eating disorders can be incredibly convincing; it’s why so many of us stay unwell for so long. In this episode, we look at some of the common “mind games” that can keep you stuck – everything from being told you “look well” or that your blood results are fine, to comparing yourself with someone who seems to be struggling more. We talk about why these thoughts can be so difficult to challenge, and come back to a bigger question: what kind of life are you able to live when the eating disorder is making the decisions? Topics covered: Common ED “mind games” Questioning whether you’re struggling “enough” Medical reassurance and recovery Comparing yourself with others Appearance and eating disorder recovery Hunger cues and recovery Looking beyond being “well enough” to function For more information or to join the Rewired Community: www.rewiredinaction.com/ Connect with us: MegInstagram: @megsy_recoveryYouTube: Megsy RecoveryTikTok: megsy recovery SafiaInstagram: @safia_edrecoverycoachEmail: hello@safiaed.comWebsite: www.safiaed.com Em (copywriter & editor)Instagram: @em_schone Tallulah Self (podcast editor)Instagram: @tallulahself Disclaimer Please keep in mind we're not medical professionals, and the podcast content reflects our own experiences and opinions, so it shouldn't be taken as medical advice.

    The Hunger Paradox

    JOIN THE REWIRED IN ACTION COMMUNITY: www.rewiredinaction.com/ Have you ever been scared of hunger, but also wished you had the cues? In this episode, we get into the strange contradiction of wanting to feel hungry enough before eating, while also spending so much time worrying about hunger itself… We also take a closer look at what happens when we turn sensations into judgements, and why eating doesn’t have to depend on getting those signals “right”. Especially in recovery, hunger can be unpredictable! Sometimes structure is more helpful than waiting to feel ready. You can eat when you’re hungry, when you’re not sure, or even when you still feel a bit full – without needing to work out exactly what your hunger is telling you first. Topics covered: The contradiction of wanting and fearing hunger Trying to achieve the “perfect” amount of hunger Body-scanning and constantly monitoring hunger Why hunger can become another thing to control The difference between a sensation and the judgement attached to it Fear of fullness and what it can mean in recovery Eating for reasons beyond hunger Why hunger and fullness can be unpredictable in recovery Mental hunger and the role of structure Practising eating without perfect conditions For more information or to join the Rewired Community: www.rewiredinaction.com/ Connect with us: MegInstagram: @megsy_recoveryYouTube: Megsy RecoveryTikTok: megsy recovery SafiaInstagram: @safia_edrecoverycoachEmail: hello@safiaed.comWebsite: www.safiaed.com Em (copywriter & editor)Instagram: @em_schone Tallulah Self (podcast editor)Instagram: @tallulahself Disclaimer Please keep in mind we're not medical professionals, and the podcast content reflects our own experiences and opinions, so it shouldn't be taken as medical advice.

    Somatic Compassion

    JOIN THE REWIRED IN ACTION COMMUNITY: www.rewiredinaction.com/ This week, we’re joined by Dr Ann Saffi Biasetti to talk about somatic compassion and what it means to build a relationship with your body, both in recovery and beyond.  We get into what happens when you know something intellectually, but still feel completely different about (and differently in) your physical self. Dr Ann also talks through some common themes we see in our work as coaches: grief, the fear of not liking your recovered appearance, some of the ways loved ones can make things harder without meaning to — and why recovery doesn’t have to mean loving the way your body looks. Topics covered: What “your body never meant you any harm” really means The gap between knowing and feeling Moving away from fighting the body Fear of not liking your recovered appearance How somatic work can aid eating disorder recovery A simple somatic practice for difficult moments How support can unintentionally reinforce ED fears Making space for grief in recovery Beginning to relate to your body differently For more information or to join the Rewired Community:www.rewiredinaction.com/ Resources mentioned:  Your Body Never Meant You Any Harm: A Somatic Guide to Forgiving and Healing Your Relationship with Your Body Connect with us: Dr Ann Saffi BiasettiWebsite: www.anembodiedlife.comInstagram: @anembodiedlife MegInstagram: @megsy_recoveryYouTube: Megsy RecoveryTikTok: megsy recovery SafiaInstagram: @safia_edrecoverycoachEmail: hello@safiaed.comWebsite: www.safiaed.com Em (copywriter & editor)Instagram: @em_schone Tallulah Self (podcast editor)Instagram: @tallulahself Disclaimer Please keep in mind we're not medical professionals, and the podcast content reflects our own experiences and opinions, so it shouldn't be taken as medical advice.

    Saf’s Story Part 2

    JOIN THE REWIRED IN ACTION COMMUNITY: www.rewiredinaction.com/ Safia continues her recovery story from last week’s episode, this time focusing on the process itself: beginning therapy, challenging food rules, and eventually letting go of exercise.  She shares some of the (many!) moments where she wanted to undo a challenge — the messy middle of recovery — but also those blossoming moments of freedom and connection, and how life changed in ways she never could have imagined for herself. Topics covered: Committing to recovery Challenging food rules Extreme hunger and learning to trust her body Letting go of compulsive exercise Finding meaning beyond food, weight and movement Learning that recovery doesn’t have to be perfect The role of accountability in recovery When periods restart  How recovery ultimately changed everything  For more information or to join the Rewired Community: www.rewiredinaction.com/ Connect with us: Meg Instagram: @megsy_recovery YouTube: Megsy Recovery TikTok: megsy recovery Safia Instagram: @safia_edrecoverycoach Email: hello@safiaed.com Website: www.safiaed.com Em (copywriter & editor) Instagram: @em_schone Tallulah Self (podcast editor) Instagram: @tallulahself Disclaimer Please keep in mind we're not medical professionals, and the podcast content reflects our own experiences and opinions, so it shouldn't be taken as medical advice.

    Safia’s Story Part 1

    JOIN THE REWIRED IN ACTION COMMUNITY: www.rewiredinaction.com In this two-part miniseries, Safia shares the first half of her recovery story, reflecting on her childhood and some of the big life changes that came through university and work. As time went on, her days became increasingly dominated by food, movement and an eating disorder that shapeshifted to preserve itself. Safia also looks back at the points where she began to realise that the life she was living wasn’t the life she wanted, and talks about how she began to take steps towards reconnecting with what actually mattered to her. Topics covered: Safia’s early relationship with food Body image, movement and dieting The impact of university and major life changes Perfectionism and fear of failure The role of relationships  Recognising that the eating disorder was taking over Starting therapy and challenging food and movement rules Reconnecting with values  Connect with us: Meg Instagram: @megsy_recovery YouTube: Megsy Recovery TikTok: megsy recovery Safia Instagram: @safia_edrecoverycoach Email: hello@safiaed.com Website: www.safiaed.com Em (copywriter & editor) Instagram: @em_schone Tallulah Self (podcast editor) Instagram: @tallulahself Disclaimer Please keep in mind we're not medical professionals, and the podcast content reflects our own experiences and opinions, so it shouldn't be taken as medical advice.
