Episode 109: Julia & Vic's Monthly Catch-up

****UPDATE FOR THIS EPISODE****

Right at the end, I give a link to my Recovery Circle community and courses. In my excitement, I gave the wrong link! it should be https://www.edrecoverycircle.com/

Oops!

In this special monthly catch-up episode of Fly to Freedom, Julia and Victoria come together again to chat, giggle, and offer heartfelt insight into the raw realities of eating disorder recovery. From slippers and sensory issues to deep conversations about mother-daughter recovery, guilt, brain fog, and redefining identity, this episode is packed with warmth, wisdom, and relatable support.

Together, they answer real listener questions, including:

💬 “If you could relive a moment without the eating disorder, which would it be?”
💬 “How do I stop feeling guilty about resting or not exercising?”
💬 “How do I cope with my daughter also trying to recover while I’m recovering myself?”

They also cover deeply personal reflections like:

Why gaining weight can feel unsafe (and why it’s not)

The grief of letting go of an identity tied to anorexia

What to wear during body changes

The truth about brain fog in eating disorder recovery

How to forgive yourself for the lies the eating disorder made you tell

Julia shares from her experience of 40 years with anorexia and her complete recovery, and Victoria speaks candidly about body image, shame, and building a new life on the other side of restriction.

Whether you’re a mother in recovery, navigating guilt around rest, or wondering if your life really is better with the eating disorder – this episode will hold space for you with love, compassion, and a little bit of laughter too.
