email: yourspoonful@gmail.com35. How perfectionism fuels eating disorders (and how to break free) - ft. Lindsey Wawrzyniak
2026/08/11 | 40 mins.this week I'm joined by professional dancer and eating disorder recovery coach Lindsey Wawrzyniak for a conversation about perfectionism, identity, and choosing recovery, even when it feels like it might cost you the life you've worked so hard for.
we talk about the pressures of the dance world, navigating recovery while pursuing big dreams, finding purpose beyond appearance and achievement, and why healing doesn't have to mean giving up your goals. If you've ever wondered whether recovery is worth the unknown, this episode is for you.
In this episode we cover:
-the early signs of an eating disorder
-perfectionism and the illusion of control
-recovery while pursuing a professional dance career
-separating your worth from your performance or body
-protecting your recovery in triggering environments
-why recovery opens more doors than it closes
