Description
Recovered-ish is where we talk about the real side of eating disorder recovery — the messy parts, the confusing parts, and the parts no one wants to say out loud.
I’m Chloe — therapist, recovery coach, and someone who’s been through it myself. Every solo episode gets into the stuff you’re actually dealing with: the constant mental noise, the guilt after eating, the fear of fullness, the body image spirals, the pressure to shrink, and the moments where you’re convinced you’re “failing” at recovery.
This isn’t about perfection or doing recovery the “right” way. It’s about learning how to feed yourself, trust yourself, and build a relationship with your body that isn’t rooted in fear.
You’ll get practical tools, honest conversations, and the kind of support I wish I had when I was in it.
If you want recovery that’s imperfect, human, and actually possible… you’re in the right place.

hello, lovely friends! welcome back to recovered-ish. today we’re talking about body changes in recovery and how to cope when weight gain starts to feel huge. because of course this is one of the biggest fears in recovery. most people would be willing to take the risk on healing if they could guarantee their body would stay the same. but that’s not how this works. and even when you know logically that your body may need to change, that does not mean you’re going to feel emotionally okay about...
hello, lovely friends. welcome back to recovered-ish. today we’re talking about quasi recovery. this is the phase where you’re not relapsed. you’re functioning. you’re eating. life looks mostly normal. but the tape is still running. in this episode, i talk about: – what quasi recovery actually is (and how it’s different from relapse) – the “good enough” space that can last for years – rigidity that hides inside normal routines – the identity piece that keeps people stuck &nb...
hello, lovely friends! welcome back to recovered-ish. today we’re talking about motivation. and more specifically, why it feels so hard to find motivation to recover. i hear this all the time. “i don’t feel motivated.” “i don’t have a strong enough reason.” “i know what to do, but i can’t make myself do it.” and the more i sat with this topic, the more i realized something. motivation works beautifully inside an eating disorder. there are goals. numbers. boxes to check. clea...
hi, my lovely friends. welcome back to recovered-ish. this week’s episode is messy. i’m congested. there’s construction beeping outside my office. it’s a full comedy of errors. but honestly… that feels fitting. recovery is messy too. i did a poll on instagram and you all had so many good questions that i couldn’t pick just one. so we’re doing a recovery buffet. a little bit of this, a little bit of that. not a deep dive feast. just honest, off-the-cuff answers. in this episode, we talk about:...
hi. welcome back to recovered-ish. this episode is about relapse and why i don’t think it means what we’ve been taught to believe it means. relapse is extremely common. and the fact that it’s so common tells me a few things. this is really hard. success in recovery isn’t well defined. and we haven’t figured out eating disorder treatment as well as we think we have. i talk about how relapse usually isn’t accidental. it often has something to do with the nervous system floundering before it fin...
today we’re covering one of the most confusing and emotionally loaded topics in eating disorder recovery: exercise. because movement can genuinely help anxiety. and it can also quietly become another way the eating disorder stays in control. in this episode, we talk about the role exercise plays in eating disorders, why stopping movement can feel terrifying, and how to tell the difference between moving to feel connected vs moving to control your body. i also share my personal relationship wi...
hi! welcome back to recovered-ish. this episode is about one of the most common thoughts that keeps people stuck in eating disorders: it’s not that bad. it could be worse. i’m not sick enough for help. we talk about where this belief comes from, why it feels so convincing, and how it’s reinforced by medical providers, mental health systems, social media, and comparison — even when someone’s inner world is completely consumed by food, body, and fear. i also share personal stories from my own e...
in this episode, we’re talking about the fear of weight gain — and why you can’t just “get over it.” if you’ve ever thought i want recovery, but i can’t handle my body changing, this episode is for you. we unpack why weight gain can feel like danger (not just discomfort), how avoidance wires fear, and why waiting to feel “okay” before taking action keeps people stuck for years. i also want to name this clearly: i recovered into a smaller body, and that comes with privilege. my experience is n...
in this episode, i share my eating disorder + recovery story — but not in the “before/after, numbers, shock value” way. i’m not here to give you content you can compare yourself to. i’m here to give you context, meaning, and the parts that actually matter. i talk about the early moments where body awareness and objectification started showing up way before food did, how perfectionism and high achievement shaped my brain, and how passion (for me: musical theatre) quietly morphed into an eating...
welcome to the first episode of recovered-ish. in this episode, i share why i started this podcast, what recovered-ish actually means, and why the idea of “full recovery” isn’t as clear-cut as we’re often told. i’m 30 years old, over a decade into eating disorder recovery, and both a therapist and recovery coach. if you asked me today whether i’m fully recovered, my answer wouldn’t be a simple yes or no — and that nuance is exactly what this episode explores. this conversation focuses on the ...
