Hello my friend, welcome back to the podcast. Today's episode is a mind-dump of how I've been feeling and what I've been doing lately, recounted as honestly as I could muster on the pod. I also talk about the impact social media has had on my mental health, my gut-feeling goals I have career-wise, and an intention for facing fears moving forward. If you're here reading and listening, thank you. I love you.

Hi friends! I'm so excited to share this episode with you: a conversation with our first guest, a fellow Emily, Emily Feikls <3 I've known Emily for a couple of years now, and admire her for how she taps into her intuition recovery and career-wise as a young adult. We relate on a lot of the same experiences: working a full-time job while pursuing a passion project, navigating eating disorder recovery amid uncertainty, post-school/college life. I love her honesty, wit, self-awareness and drive, and am so happy to share even a little bit of that with you today.

Hi friends! Welcome back to the podcast. Today's episode is short but full -- all about how I define and trust in my recovery, and how I've grown to accept the imperfect, non-linear nature of healing from an eating disorder. It's guided by these questions from a friend on Instagram: What guided your shift a year or so ago? What led to trusting yourself and your recovery? What made you believe that your way of healing was enough, sufficient, real, and true — not feeling like an imposter or pull of brokenness you are trying to constantly piece together. I don’t mean pseudo recovery but more so accepting imperfect and no expectation recovery. My answers include: The pillars of my real recovery The pillars of my past versions of recovery that wasn't sufficient or "real" How honesty is a central force in my life and recovery today The importance of acknowledging how far we've come Reflecting on these topics was intense! But so motivating. I highly encourage you to do so in your journal or in conversation with others. And if you'd like to share your answers with me, please feel free to send me a message on @eatwithcare or (the new podcast account!) @messagefromafriendpod.

Hi friends! Episode 2! This podcast is a real thing! This one is...longer...and slightly more rambling. Wrapping my mind around my personal relationship to social media is one thing, translating that into a podcast is another. Having said that, in this solo convo I dive deeper into: How social media's impact on my recovery has changed over time How blogging about my mental health positively and negatively affects it Tools I rely on to maintain a healthy relationship with social media And in the outro, a reflection on recording and sharing another episode of the podcast... I hope you enjoyed this reflection. Thank you for taking the time to listen to it. The feedback I got on episode one was so encouraging (and exciting). I'm really happy you and I are here.

Welcome to Message From A Friend! I'm so excited that you and I are here. I've been wanting to start a podcast for over two years now, and believe now is a better time than ever to start. I can't wait to explore this new platform and have more personal, casual conversations with this community. In this first episode, I touch on... challenging perfectionism in the recording/editing of the podcast the story behind the name a summary of what eatwithcare is and my relationship to blogging a summary of my recovery journey my intentions for the podcast* an invitation for ideas from you! *I spend a couple of minutes talking about how I don't want to give advice on the podcast -- I think the wording here is a little misleading. I would love to carve out space to give advice if/when it feels right. So advice-giving isn't off-limits, it's just not what the entirety of the podcast is going to be. Ok, I think that's it from me. I can't wait for episode two -- I have a few ideas floating around but would love to hear more from you. You can shoot me a message on Instagram -- @eatwithcare :) Until the next one, Emily Website: www.letseatwithcare.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/eatwithcare
