    EP 315: The 5-Minute Ritual That Pulls You Out of the Eating Disorder Thought Spiral **Must Listen Fav!**
    2026/10/20
    Sis, here’s the truth: most of us wake up and immediately go into reaction mode. You react to how your body feels. You react to the number on the scale. You react to what you see in the mirror, to the anxiety about what you’re going to eat today. You’re constantly reacting to life like it’s happening to you — and when you’re in recovery, living in reaction mode keeps you right where the eating disorder wants you, because it feeds off the panic, the fear, the overwhelm. Today I’m handing you a simple 5-minute ritual that interrupts that pattern and shifts you from reaction to intention. Grab your journal — this one’s a keeper. Why this works (it’s not just woo): When you shift from reacting to practicing intention and mindfulness, you’re literally changing your brain — moving out of the amygdala (the fear-based, reactive part the eating disorder hijacks) and into the prefrontal cortex, where you make conscious, value-based decisions. Research in positive psychology also shows gratitude practices meaningfully reduce anxiety and depression and build real well-being. This little ritual puts the power back in your hands. The ritual — three questions to ask yourself: 1. What am I grateful for? Not toxic positivity — evidence of goodness, even on hard days. And get specific to recovery: “I’m grateful my body digested food yesterday without me obsessing.” “I’m grateful I sat through dinner with friends and was present.” “I’m grateful for the energy I had because I nourished myself.” You’re training your brain to find proof that your recovery is working. On the really hard days, start tiny: I’m grateful I woke up. I’m grateful for this breath. I’m grateful I get to show up even when I don’t want to. 2. What am I focused on gaining? This is the game changer — shifting from avoidance motivation (I’m scared to gain weight, I don’t want to lose control) to approach motivation (moving toward something). Instead of “I’m trying not to restrict,” ask “What am I gaining by nourishing my body?” — freedom from food thoughts, energy for your kids, mental clarity, peace in your own skin. We’re not running away from fear. We’re running toward our best self. 3. What am I choosing to release? You can’t gain what you named in question two while gripping the old beliefs and behaviors. Releasing might sound like: “I’m releasing the belief that my worth is tied to the scale.” “I’m releasing the need to know every calorie.” “I’m releasing comparison to how I looked five years ago.” “I’m releasing the expectation that recovery should look perfect.” Naming what you release creates awareness — and awareness gives you the power to say, “No, I already put that down,” every time it tries to sneak back in. The heart of it: When you live with intention instead of reaction, recovery stops being something you’re just trying to survive and becomes something you’re actively creating. “You’re not white-knuckling your way through recovery anymore. You’re intentionally choosing what you want to gain. We are going toward our very best self.” Your work this week: Use the ritual — at the start of your week, in the morning, when you’re triggered, or when you feel yourself slipping into old patterns. Five minutes. Write down one thing for each: what you’re grateful for, what you’re gaining, what you’re releasing. Intention over reaction. You don’t have to do this alone. This ritual is even more powerful in community — which is exactly why I created the Recovery Collective, where we gather to ask these intentional questions together, celebrate the wins, and tell the truth when the lies get loud.

  • EP 314.5: Dreading the Upcoming Holidays? Your 6-Step Plan for When Food & Body Comments Trigger You

    EP 314.5: Dreading the Upcoming Holidays? Your 6-Step Plan for When Food & Body Comments Trigger You
    2026/10/16
    Sis, we’re heading into the season of triggers — and if you’re already spiraling about how you’ll handle all the food, all the people, and all the comments about bodies and what’s on your plate, this episode is your armor. You know the moment: you sit down at the table, and your aunt says “you look so healthy, are you eating more?” or “wow, you’ve lost so much weight!” — and just like that, your chest tightens, your throat closes, and before you even realize it, you’re making plans to restrict tomorrow or add an extra workout this week. I’ve been there (Thanksgiving was the trigger for me). So today I’m handing you the real-time game plan I walk through with my clients — including one, “Allison,” who texted me mid-panic from a family gathering this week. The 6-step plan for when you’re triggered: Notice your body. Drop out of your racing head and into your body. Is your chest tight? Shoulders at your ears? Jaw clenched? Holding your breath? Don’t judge it, don’t fix it — just notice. Your body is giving you all the information you need.Breathe. Hand on your belly, deep breath through your nose, slow exhale. This isn’t woo-woo — it’s how you re-regulate your nervous system. You’re safe. You don’t need to run, fight, or freeze. Breathing creates space between the trigger and your reaction — and that space is where your power lives.Name the sensation. Where’s the tension? Chest, stomach, shoulders? When you name what feels overwhelming, you make it make sense — “this is what’s happening in my body right now” — so you can address what comes next.Name the emotion. Not the story your mind is spinning, not the restriction plan — the actual emotion. Scared? Ashamed? Not good enough? Say it out loud if you can. You can’t heal what you won’t feel and acknowledge.Give it compassion. That emotion exists because at some point it kept you safe — a time you learned your worth was tied to your appearance or how little space you took up. But that old experience isn’t happening now. You’re not that former version of you anymore. Put your hand on your heart: “I hear you. I see you. I know you’re trying to protect me — but I’m okay now.”Meet your now needs. This is where action happens. Not what the disorder says — what does your body need? Maybe fresh air. Maybe texting your person. Maybe eating because you’re actually hungry. Maybe doing the opposite of what your brain screams — when you want to run from the table, you stay. The heart of it — act as if you’re already her. Your future, recovered self already knows how to move through this. So ask: would she leave the table and restrict? Would she over-exercise tomorrow to “make up” for tonight? Or would she trust her body, rest, and know this trigger is just a blip? You have to stop operating from an unhealed place if you want healed results. Wounds cannot make decisions. She’s not so distant, sis. She’s you — making the choice right now. “Triggers just bring you toward your testimony. Keep showing up for yourself, and one day you’ll look back and barely recognize that those things ever triggered you. That recovered version of you is going to wrap her arms around you and say, ‘See, sis? You did it. You made it.’” Don’t head into the holidays white-knuckling it alone. This is exactly the work we do together — walking through real triggers with live coaching, tools, and a community of women who get it in the Recovery Collective. And if you know you need deeper, one-on-one support, I have a few limited private coaching spots. Find both at www.herbestself.co (and the Recovery Collective at www.herbestself.co/recoverycollective.

  • EP 314: Why Does Recovery From an Eating Disorder Feel So Hard? The #1 Blind Spot Keeping You Stuck in the Fight

    EP 314: Why Does Recovery From an Eating Disorder Feel So Hard? The #1 Blind Spot Keeping You Stuck in the Fight
    2026/10/13

    If recovery from an eating disorder feels so hard right now that you're white-knuckling your way through it — "why do I have to do this? why me?" — sis, I've been exactly where you are. But there's a blind spot keeping you stuck in that fight, and one shift in how you see it can make the whole thing feel lighter. Not because the work changes. Because you do.

    In this episode:

    • The lie that makes recovery feel unbearable. When my treatment team told me exercise "had to go," it felt like the ultimate punishment — because exercise was my control, my identity, my reward. And because I believed the eating disorder's lie that I was being robbed, it felt impossible. That's the blind spot: when you believe recovery is a punishment, of course it feels like one.
    • The shift that changed everything for me. I had to completely flip how I saw rest and reward. Not exercising wasn't a punishment — it was a privilege. It was the exact thing that taught me a healthy relationship with movement for life. What felt like it was being taken from me was actually being given to me.
    • Everything the disorder calls "losing," recovery reveals as "gaining." The meal isn't a punishment — it's a privilege your body's been begging for. Rest isn't a punishment — it's a coming home to yourself. Feeling your feelings isn't a punishment — it's the privilege of finally learning to heal.
    • You can do anything you put your mind to. Same action, completely different experience — the only thing that changed was my perspective. You can't always change the hard thing in front of you, but you can always change how you see it. And how you see it determines whether you keep going or give up.

    Your work this week: Every time "this is so hard" shows up, pause and ask the flip question — What if this isn't a punishment? What if this is a privilege? The meal, the rest, the fear food, the hard conversation. Not because it's easy — but because every one of those things is giving you your life back.

    "The women who find freedom aren't the ones for whom it was easier. They're the ones who decided to see it differently — who stopped believing recovery was happening TO them, and started believing it was happening FOR them. You get to recover, sis. That's not a punishment. That's the greatest privilege of your life."

    Your turn: Head to our free community at www.herbestselfsociety.com and share your True Up Tuesday — what are you tuning up this week? What do you want more of, and less of?
