Description

In this powerful episode, I'm joined by Julia Trehane, an Eating Disorder Recovery Coach and host of The Fully Free Podcast. Julia speaks candidly about her 40-year battle with anorexia, orthorexia, and exercise addiction—and the moment that changed everything (trigger warning - suicide plans).

Now fully recovered, she supports others through 1:1 coaching, her online recovery community, and weekly podcast episodes that combine compassion, honesty, and lived experience.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How Julia’s eating disorder began as a survival strategy in childhood and evolved over decades

  • The moment in the woods that became her turning point

  • Extreme hunger, what it means to go “all in” with recovery and why it doesn’t look the same for everyone

    • Practical ways to quiet your inner critic and build a kinder relationship with yourself
    • The possibility of full recovery at any age and no matter how long you’ve struggled

  • Connect with Rachel
