This week on our show, we have an illuminating conversation with Mallary Tenore Tarpley, author of Slip, as she honestly and compassionately shares the healing journey of living with eating disorders and body dysmorphia. Mallary explores the long, winding path of recovery and introduces her groundbreaking “middle place” framework—a space where slips are part of healing, and progress is never linear. You’ll hear:Mallary’s deeply personal story: losing her mother at a young age, developing anorexia, and navigating years of treatment and internal struggle Insight into how body dysmorphia and perfectionism fuel cycles of self‑criticism and how she recovered and healed.
