    How Do I Challenge the ED Suggestion That I’m ‘Not Sick Enough’?

    2026/08/07 | 18 mins.
    In this episode, Emily and Han discuss how to overcome the Eds judgement that you are not 'unwell enough' to pursue recovery. The key takeaway points are:
    Recovery isn't something you earn by pleasing the ED enough.
    ED is a neural network system, not an entity.
    A system based on self abandonment has no agenda to permit fully recovery.
    Nobody who is healthy wishes to be more unwell.
    Other people's behaviour isn't a reliable measure of your recovery needs. 
    Recovery on your terms, rather than the Eds terms.
    Don’t try to reason or justify your way out of this.

    How Can I Push On With Recovery When Dealing With Stressful Life Events?

    2026/07/20 | 21 mins.
    In this episode, Emily and Han discuss ensuring recovery happens when navigating difficult life circumstances. The key takeaways are:
    This is WHY recovery is so important: to be able to navigate future circumstances like this (which are inevitable) with compassion and a nourished brain and body.
    Old patterns cannot be an option
    Assess how you are keeping other life plates spinning and use those same strategies 
    Being mechanical with use of a solid minimum
    Setting yourself up to win
    Keeping it simple 
    Focus on energy density
    Call out ED-BS. Yes, you should be recovery right now.
    You do have the skills. Repurpose those.

    How Do I Stop Boosts of Recovery Motivation From Fading?

    2026/06/25 | 16 mins.
    In this episode, Han and Emily chat through ebbing motivation. The key takeaways are:

    You don’t! Stop waiting for stable motivation or viewing it’s absence as a failure
    Motivation = emotional 
    Commitment = values-based, steady
    Has motivation faded or has ED increased resistance + fear?

    Does Extreme Hunger Ever Really End?

    2026/06/18 | 16 mins.
    In this episode Emily and Han discuss the longevity of extreme hunger. The key takeaways are:
    Extreme hunger isn’t the problem. It’s the solution your body has chosen.
    Consistency of cue response is of paramount importance
    Reaching full nutritional rehabilitation is a non-negotiable for the body to move out of 'extreme' responses 
    Recovery eating isn’t supposed to look ‘normal’
    Permitting rest is a core component of the body feeling safety.
    Your job is to remove all tendrils of ED
