In this deeply personal episode of Ditch the Binge, Renae shares the unexpected moment—during mile eight of a half marathon—when she realized she no longer identifies as bulimic. After over a decade of battling food, body image, and the shame that came with it, Renae reflects on how recovery slowly, quietly took root until one day… it just wasn't who she was anymore.She opens up about the years of bingeing and purging, the treatment programs, the obsessive research, and the painful identity that felt like it would always define her. But through consistent, messy, and unglamorous work, she found freedom.This episode is a raw, hopeful reminder that change doesn't always come in dramatic before-and-after moments—it builds quietly. And one day, without realizing it, you might just wake up and realize you're not who you used to be.Perfect for anyone in recovery, stuck in an identity they want to outgrow, or wondering if lasting change is really possible...Get Renae's book HERE.Follow her on IG here.Visit her website HERE.

In this episode of Hurt to Healing, Pandora sits down with Emma Healey, acclaimed author and journalist, to explore the complex relationship between exercise, body image, and control. Emma shares her deeply personal experience with exercise addiction, discussing how what started as a routine for health and fitness slowly became an all-consuming compulsion. She opens up about the psychological and physical toll it took on her body, relationships, and sense of self, as well as the difficult journey toward finding balance. Together, they examine the fine line between dedication and obsession, and how societal messages about fitness and achievement can fuel unhealthy behaviours.Emma also discusses her latest novel, Sweat, which delves into power dynamics in relationships, control, and the pressures placed on women's bodies. She and Pandora explore the parallels between disordered exercise habits and coercive relationships, how toxic fitness culture can be a form of self-punishment, and the importance of listening to your body with kindness. If you've ever struggled with your relationship with exercise, body image, or the pressure to always do more, this conversation is a must-listen.Buy Sweat: https://amzn.eu/d/faaAWg0Emma's Website: https://www.emmahealey.co.uk/Stay Connected with Hurt to Healing:Instagram: instagram.com/hurttohealingpodTikTok: tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpodLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/hurt-to-healingSubstack: substack.com/@hurttohealingWebsite: hurttohealing.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

When you think of exercise addiction and eating disorders, you might picture someone trying to burn calories or using movement as punishment. But for neurodivergent individuals, the story often looks different. In today's episode, host Livia Sara shares her journey with exercise addiction through an autistic lens, challenging common misconceptions and offering a fresh perspective on the complex relationship between autism, movement, and eating disorders. You'll learn: How the athlete identity can become a mask for undiagnosed autism Why labels like "compulsive exercise" may oversimplify the complex motivations behind movement in autistic individuals How exercise restrictions in treatment can trigger PDA (demand avoidance) in neurodivergent folks Why understanding the connection between autism and movement is a crucial component of neurodiversity-affirming ED recovery This episode kicks off a powerful two-part series examining how autism can influence our relationship with exercise and how traditional treatment approaches might actually backfire for neurodivergent individuals. Stay tuned for Part 2, where we'll explore three key autistic traits that can influence exercise addiction and how to transform them into tools for recovery. Connect with Livia:

Lotty is a forward thinker in Emotional Culture, Change and Resilience, with over 20 years of experience leading and coaching people through large-scale change and transformation programmes.  During her journey as a senior leader, competitive runner and mum of 3 boys, Lotty discovered the power of Mindfulness and Emotional Intelligence to help her with various challenges, including an auto-immune condition, chronic pain, double hip replacement and corporate burnout. Through her experience, learning and research into the wisdom of emotions and mindfulness-based practices to attend to the ongoing challenges and constant change of working life, Lotty instantly saw an opportunity to integrate these teachings into approaching leadership, culture, resilience, burnout and change. Lotty founded MiND.U, where she is devoted to helping workplaces, leaders, and individuals build the capability, resilience, and ‘know-how' to mindfully lead and navigate today's ever-changing and dynamic environment. Lotty works with clients across New Zealand and internationally. She also runs retreats and public workshops and regularly speaks about Emotional Culture, Personal Resilience, and Mindful Change. She lives in Wellington with her husband and three sons. Lotty's story is one of transformation through self-awareness and intentional change. She advocates for therapy, emotional intelligence and mindfulness as essential tools for personal growth. In this episode: Lotty shares her journey through work, exercise, and addiction. Her reflections on self-doubt and imposter syndrome in helping others while facing personal struggles. Spending over 20 years in the corporate world, being a competitive runner, a mother, and briefly a fitness model. Driven by a need for achievement and external validation. Childhood & Early Influences Growing up in a volatile home with addiction, relationship conflicts, and illness. Learning from a young age to seek validation through achievement. Using exercise to control her appearance and emotions, leading to competitive running. Work & Achievement Addiction Excelling in corporate roles and rising through the ranks. How managing multiple roles: employee, athlete, mother—came at a high personal cost. Burnout (twice!) exacerbated by postpartum depression after her second child. Marriages & Personal Struggles Experiencing another marriage breakdown due to personal and professional pressures. Meeting her third husband, whom she considers her soulmate. Health Crisis & Turning Point Developing chronic pain and being diagnosed with autoimmune arthritis. Requiring a double hip replacement at 42—forced to slow down—and was a pivotal moment that allowed her to reflect and reassess her life choices. The Role of Mindfulness & Therapy Discovering mindfulness as a tool for managing both physical and emotional pain. Recognizing her addiction to busyness to numb emotions. Prioritising self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and values alignment. Leaving the Corporate World Realizing the corporate lifestyle was unsustainable for her health and well-being. Now integrates mindfulness and emotional awareness into her work. Addiction & Societal Conditioning Initially, she did not see her behaviours as addiction but saw the patterns later. Work, exercise, and people-pleasing are socially accepted but can be addictive. Society often rewards burnout culture, making it difficult to recognise the problem. Postscript: Kristin Neff and Chris Germer co-created the Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) program. They also co-founded the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion. Michele McDonald, a Vipassana teacher, originally developed the RAIN model—Recognize, Allow, Investigate, and Non-Identification. Tara Brach later popularised this model and adapted it by changing the final step from Non-Identification to Nurture, emphasising self-compassion.

Such a raw, honest, and incredibly inspiring episode with Sophia Harris. Sophia is a nutritionist and food relationship coach. The information she shares around this is invaluable, but I think the real gold in this episode comes from Sophia opening up about her own struggles and how she has overcome them. Sophia has suffered from anorexia, binge eating disorder, bulimia, exercise addiction, mental health struggles, and abuse. She has been through so much but has survived, and is now thriving. Her experiences, and overcoming them, are what drive her passion to help others. I think the vulnerability and rawness that Sophia brings to the table here can help so many people who find themselves in similar situations. This conversation will give people hope that they too can get through whatever challenges they are facing.

ADDICTION SWITCHING. In this episode of the Came to Believe Recovery Podcast, the hosts discuss the concept of addiction switching, where individuals may replace one addiction with another, often without addressing the underlying issues. They explore the complexities of addiction, including the challenges of managing behaviors related to food, exercise, and other compulsive actions. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the root causes of addiction and the need for a balanced approach to recovery that avoids simply substituting one addiction for another. In this conversation, the speakers delve into the complexities of addiction, discussing the nuances of mental and physical dependencies, the concept of addictive personalities, and the potential pitfalls of recovery, including service work and meeting dependency. They explore the impact of technology and social media on modern relationships and communication, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a balanced lifestyle and spiritual connection in the face of distractions. The discussion highlights the need for honesty and self-awareness in recovery, encouraging listeners to reflect on their behaviors and seek help when necessary.

Having survived 40 years of anorexia, orthorexia and exercise addiction, Julia has a deep understanding of how it feels to be gripped by food prison, how the mind processes information in an eating disorder and how to re-wire our thoughts to break free and return to freedom for ever.  If you're feeling lost, stuck and hopeless, living in the depths of an eating disorder, this is definitely an episode for you. Julia shares about her long and arduous battle with eating disorders, talking candidly about the reality of recovery. She explains the challenges of eating more and the body changes accompanying this. She talks about how she navigated this challenging process, not only managing food and body image but the tumultuous journey of engaging with emotions, finding identity and the impact on her closest relationships. You will be encouraged, supported and inspired by what is possible.
