Goal #7: Unfollow the Noise: Social Media Boundaries & Recovery ft. Therapist Lily Thrope
Description
Welcome to this month's recovery goal...all about reevaluating your relationship with social media.
Amy opens up about her own recent struggles with doomscrolling (especially since becoming pregnant) and how the constant stream of anxiety-inducing content has impacted her mental health and recovery. From pregnancy fears to subtle body comparison traps, she reflects on how quickly social media can shift from entertaining to harmful.
To help unpack all of this, Amy is joined by Lily Thrope, a therapist and founder of Thrope Therapy who specializes in eating disorders, body image, and intuitive eating. Together, they explore:
- How social media reinforces disordered thinking and body surveillance
- The role of fatphobia online and how it affects people in recovery
- Tips for curating a safer, more supportive feed
- Why social media doesn’t have to be off-limits - but boundaries are essential
- Small, practical steps to begin taking control back from the algorithm
Follow along with the podcast each month for a new recovery goal and deeper conversations around healing, growth, and self-compassion.
