In this episode of Fly to Freedom, I’m joined by the brilliant Tabitha Farrar — recovery coach, speaker, and author of Rehabilitate, Rewire, Recover and Fried Eggs and Thunder Thighs.

Tabitha shares her journey of living with anorexia for over a decade, how a seemingly innocent decision triggered the illness, and the pivotal moment she finally chose recovery. Known for her blunt, science-based, no-nonsense approach, Tabitha talks openly about:

• Why she believes recovery doesn’t have to be complicated.

• The crucial role of facing fears — especially around exercise and weight gain.

• How negative body image is learned, and how to actually unlearn it.

• Why acting “as if” you like your body can rewire the brain faster than waiting for the feelings to change.

• The recovery myths that keep people stuck, including the idea that bingeing in recovery is something to fear.

💛 If you’d like to connect with Tabitha, you can find her at tabithafarrar.com and on her YouTube channel.
