Recovering Later in Life with Pamela St.Clair
Description
What if decades of struggle didn’t mean recovery was out of reach? In this episode, we’re joined by fellow coach and passionate recovery advocate, Pamela St. Clair, who found freedom after living with an eating disorder for much of her life. Her story is a powerful reminder that change is possible – no matter your age, situation or lived experience.
Together, we talk about the realities of suffering with an eating disorder for years: the grief and anger, but also the perspective and strength that come with time. From community to values, stereotypes to body changes, Pamela shares what helped her step into recovery, and what life looks like now in full colour.
Topics covered:
· Pamela’s story – what sparked the change
· Finding (and building) a supportive community
· Diet culture, advocacy, and turning anger into action
· What matters to you? How to live value-aligned
· Time, grief, and the power of perspective
· Recovery and ageing: gaining tools for the future
· Finding strength in surrender
· The “ED shield”: protecting your bigger picture
· How the brain changes through recovery
