Episode 129: Tabitha Farrar: Breaking Free from Anorexia
Description
In this episode of Fly to Freedom, I’m joined by the brilliant Tabitha Farrar — recovery coach, speaker, and author of Rehabilitate, Rewire, Recover and Fried Eggs and Thunder Thighs.
Tabitha shares her journey of living with anorexia for over a decade, how a seemingly innocent decision triggered the illness, and the pivotal moment she finally chose recovery. Known for her blunt, science-based, no-nonsense approach, Tabitha talks openly about:
Why she believes recovery doesn’t have to be complicated.
The crucial role of facing fears — especially around exercise and weight gain.
How negative body image is learned, and how to actually unlearn it.
Why acting “as if” you like your body can rewire the brain faster than waiting for the feelings to change.
The recovery myths that keep people stuck, including the idea that bingeing in recovery is something to fear.
