The Body Love Binge - Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast

Julia and I are back with another juicy Q&A episode, answering your most heartfelt and real questions about recovery. From brain chemistry to perfectionism, family dynamics to weight gain fears — nothing is off the table.We go deep into what it really takes to move beyond quasi recovery, why blood tests can’t tell the full story, how to navigate edema, and why being a highly sensitive person is actually a gift in recovery.This one is raw, emotional, funny (as always), and packed with truth bombs to keep you moving forward.Powerful quotes from the episode 💬💬 “Everyone can fully recover — the only barrier is the stories you tell yourself.”💬 “Your brain cares about survival, not about your happiness.”💬 “You can’t heal from an eating disorder while still acting like someone with one.”💬 “A feeling just wants to be felt, and then it can move on.”💬 “Being highly sensitive isn’t a weakness — it’s a gift you get to use for your freedom.”What you’ll hear in this episode: • Can we tell if someone will fully recover or stay in quasi? • Why eating more/resting can trigger waves of depression or suicidal thoughts • Perfectionism around food and how to break the cycle of indecision • Rebuilding trust and respect with your family after years of struggle • Edema: why it happens, how long it lasts, and how to cope • Orthorexia, “healthy” vs. “unhealthy” food, and weight gain fears • Why blood tests aren’t proof that you’re “fine” • Breaking the restrict → eat → panic → restrict cycle • Highly Sensitive People (HSP) & recovery: curse or gift?Resources & Links💙 Join my FREE support group: https://victoriakleinsman.com/free-support-group/💙 Work with me: https://victoriakleinsman.com/💙 Follow me on Instagram: @victoriakleinsmanofficial💙 Become a coach: https://victoriakleinsman.com/become-a-coach/

Welcome to another special edition of my Client Interview Series! I have one of my previous clients Karla joining me for a conversation today so she can share her honest experience of coaching and her own journey to food and body freedom. Karla is a proud Mexican woman, who after 25 years in the hell of anorexia is now experiencing so much joy and peace in her life. Now she is a new woman with a lot to give and receive and nothing would be possible without God and Victoria. But that's the current Karla, 6 months ago she was just a puppet of anorexia, compulsive exercise and orthorexia. She was literally dead in life, her soul was trapped in a prison that was getting smaller every day; just like her body. There was no way she would live there anymore unless she disappeared. And it was not that in a magical and almost incredible way, she sent an email to an angel, and she was responding and thus she was able to choose to recover her soul, her love, her family and her life.

Body Love Binge Group Coaching Call - Living with Someone Who RestrictsIn this powerful coaching session, I work with Kitty, a woman who recovered from 40 years of bulimia and is now training to be a coach herself. She's navigating the challenge of living with a partner who naturally restricts and controls his eating during cycling season - and how it's bringing up her own insecurities about her recovered body.Key Quotes from the Session:"You can only take someone as far as you've gone yourself.""Where are you on the acceptance spectrum? From 'this is my body' 🤷🏼‍♀️ to 'I'm fucking having to accept it because it is what it is' 😡?""If you were thinner, would your partners' restrictive behaviours still affect you? If not, then it's about your relationship to your body, not him.""Everyone's a mirror. They're reflecting back what's ready to be healed within you.""Coaching others is deeper healing for yourself. You realise where you're really at when you start coaching."What I Cover in This Session:💬 Working through triggers when your partner restricts and controls their eating - Why it's so hard to witness and what it's really showing you about your own healing💬 The difference between acceptance and preference - Understanding where you are on the acceptance spectrum and why that matters💬 Getting underneath guilt to the core emotion - Using the Russian dolls analogy to find what's really driving the discomfort💬 The part of you that's not caught up yet - Working with the part that's confused and questioning your recovery choices💬 Why your partner's behaviours trigger you - Uncovering what you think you're missing by being in a bigger body💬 Fashion, family judgment, and fear - Addressing the real concerns underneath body image struggles in recovery💬 The grieving process for your old body - Why writing a letter to your past body can support deeper healing💬 Somatic practices for body acceptance - How to use touch, breath, and presence to create safety with your body💬 The power of coaching others in your own recovery - How teaching what you've learnt deepens your healing💬 Letting them do their thing - Why other people's choices about their bodies don't need to affect your recoveryThis session demonstrates the nuanced work of later-stage recovery - moving beyond physical rehabilitation into the deeper emotional and relational aspects of true food and body freedom.💙 Join my FREE support group: https://victoriakleinsman.com/free-support-group/ 💙 Free trial group coaching: https://victoriakleinsman.com/coaching/ 💙 Work with me 1:1: https://victoriakleinsman.com/1-1-coaching/ 💙 Follow me on Instagram @victoriakleinsmanofficial 💙 Become a coach: https://victoriakleinsman.com/become-a-coach/

In this candid Q&A episode, I answer real questions from my Body Love Binge group coaching members. I tackle the tough topics around eating disorder recovery with my signature no-BS compassion and practical wisdom - recorded spontaneously while my husband took our baby out to test the new pushchair!Key Quotes from the Episode:"Going all in isn't a behaviour you can measure. Going all in is how you show up internally - and it's all about what is manageable for YOU.""Restriction isn't an action, it's a state of mind. If you have a restrictive mind, anything will be turned into a diet.""Recovery is the foundation of the rest of your life. It's not the finish line.""The only difference between a dream and a goal is a plan and the belief that it's gonna happen.""When you're fully recovered, other people's behaviors around food and exercise won't affect you anymore. You'll be completely free."What I Cover in This Episode:• Managing panic zone vs stretch zone - How to take recovery actions without re-traumatising yourself and why staying in your comfort zone won't work• Intuitive eating vs intuition eating - Why I don't use traditional intuitive eating guidelines and my approach to eating for pure pleasure• Breaking free from food habits and rules - How to stop turning hunger/fullness into another diet and why eating the same foods can be perfectly fine• Making room for cake - Permission to eat less nutritious food to save space for treats you're excited about• Signs of true recovery - Physical, mental, and emotional markers that show you've reached full freedom (plus what to do with your life after recovery)• Dealing with ED voice arguing back - Why the eating disorder might get louder deeper in recovery and how to handle the internal negotiations• Making regular eating non-negotiable - Practical strategies for consistent eating when you're full, emotional, or overwhelmed by meal prep• Body image in recovery - Moving from body hate to neutrality to unconditional love, and why you don't have to like how you look to be free• Living with a fitness-obsessed partner - How to protect your recovery when your partner's exercise and food behaviours are triggering• Recovery isn't linear - Understanding that setbacks and challenges are part of the process, not signs of failureMy approach combines trauma-informed recovery principles with practical, real-world strategies that honour where each person is in their unique journey toward food and body freedom.💙 Join my FREE support group: https://victoriakleinsman.com/free-support-group/ 💙 Free trial group coaching: https://victoriakleinsman.com/coaching/ 💙 Work with me 1:1: https://victoriakleinsman.com/1-1-coaching/ 💙 Follow me on Instagram @victoriakleinsmanofficial 💙 Become a coach: https://victoriakleinsman.com/become-a-coach/

Habits Aren’t The Enemy: Why Safety Heals What Willpower Can’t.This episode is a little different, Queens — it came to me in the middle of the night while lying in bed with baby Koa. I had no plan to record, but the download was strong, so here it is: raw, real, and straight from my heart.I’m talking about habits — what they actually are, why they form, and how to truly shift them in recovery (without fighting yourself).So many of my clients worry that bingeing, emotional eating, or dessert-after-dinner will become “bad habits.” But here’s the truth: when you heal the root cause, habits fall away naturally. They stop being needed.In this episode I share:✨ The difference between habits and routines (and why it matters in recovery)✨ How your brain wires habits — and how to rewire them with choice✨ Why forcing yourself out of ED habits never works long-term✨ The “swap, don’t stop” principle that makes change easier✨ Why allowance and self-trust create freedom💬 Powerful quotes from the episode:💬 “You are not your brain. You have a brain — and you can retrain it.”💬 “Habits aren’t good or bad — they’re just your brain making life easier.”💬 “When you no longer need the habit, it’s simple to change it.”💬 “Allowance creates space for choice. Restriction only creates rebellion.”💬 “Freedom isn’t about having no habits — it’s about choosing the ones that serve you.”If you’ve ever worried about getting “stuck” in bad habits, this episode will help you see them in a whole new light — and show you how healing the root makes change effortless.Resources & Links:💙 Join my FREE support group: https://victoriakleinsman.com/free-support-group/💙 Work with me: https://victoriakleinsman.com/💙 Follow me on Instagram @victoriakleinsmanofficial💙 Become a coach: https://victoriakleinsman.com/become-a-coach/

How To Love Yourself Beyond Body Image with Cait WhytockThis episode is such a special one for me because I’m joined by Cait Whytock: @cait_whytock — someone who was actually a huge catalyst in my own recovery journey. 🌟Cait is pure love embodied. She helps people realise they don’t have to live the “normal way” — through self-love, body acceptance and choosing to live differently. In this conversation, we dive deep into eating disorder recovery, body image, somatic healing, trauma, and what it really means to live in love rather than fear.We cover:💙 Cait’s journey from orthorexia and over-exercising to deep healing.💙 How yoga, meditation, and breathwork brought her back into her body.💙 Why weight gain was the wake-up call she needed (and how she navigated it).💙 The power of surrender, letting go, and “just doing it” anyway.💙 Healing the inner child, trauma, and breaking free from external validation.This one is packed with wisdom, honesty, and practical tools you can use on your own path to body love and self-acceptance.💬 Powerful quotes from the episode💬 “My body is a part of me, but it’s not the most interesting or important thing about me.”💬 “When you let go of how you think things should be, that’s when what’s truly meant for you arrives.”💬 “Nothing changes if nothing changes. Sometimes you just have to do it before you’re ready.”💬 “The eating disorder isn’t the problem — it’s the symptom. The root always goes deeper.”💬 “Healing is love. Acceptance is love. Love is without judgment.”Resources & Links💙 Join my FREE support group: https://victoriakleinsman.com/free-support-group/💙 Work with me: https://victoriakleinsman.com/💙 Follow me on Instagram: @victoriakleinsmanofficial💙 Become a coach: https://victoriakleinsman.com/become-a-coach/
