| OCD and Eating Disorders – Understanding the Overlap | 28 Oct 2025 | 00:29:18 | |
In today's episode, we’re diving into something that’s not talked about enough — the overlap between OCD and eating disorders. If you’ve ever noticed that your food rules, rituals, or routines feel more like compulsions, or that anxiety drives many of your eating behaviours, this one’s for you. I’ll break down how OCD and eating disorders can feed into each other, what signs to look out for, and how to start untangling the two so you can move toward real recovery. It’s such an important conversation because understanding the why behind your behaviours helps you build the tools to change them. Hope this helps you understand the overlap a little better.

| Feeling Not “Sick Enough” to Have an Eating Disorder – Debunking This Myth | 21 Oct 2025 | 00:23:58 | |
In today’s episode of the Recover to Flourish podcast, we’re unpacking a really harmful myth that so many people in recovery struggle with — the idea that you’re not “sick enough” to have an eating disorder. Maybe you’ve felt like your struggles don’t count because you don’t look a certain way or haven’t hit some invisible threshold. I get it — I’ve been there too. In this episode, I’ll share why this mindset is so damaging, where it comes from, and how to start validating your own experience, no matter what your eating disorder has looked like. You don’t have to reach a crisis point to deserve help or healing. Recovery belongs to everyone who’s struggling, and I want to help you see that your pain is valid and your recovery is worth it.
