  Episode Description Nobody talks about this part. But it's real, it's common, and it doesn't mean you're doing recovery wrong. In this episode I'm getting into what it actually means when you miss your eating disorder — why it happens, why it makes complete sense, and what to do with that feeling when it shows up. In This Episode: Why missing your eating disorder doesn't mean you want to go backWhat the eating disorder actually gave you — and why that's worth acknowledgingThe grief nobody war...

  dating in ED recovery — what nobody prepares you for | the recovered-ish podcast ep. 29 22.07.2026 47dk

  Episode Description This is the episode I've been asked for since the beginning of this podcast — and the one I never thought I'd actually record. Dating in eating disorder recovery is complicated in ways nobody really talks about. The body image stuff. The intimacy stuff. The validation-seeking that can look a lot like the disorder wearing a different mask. And eventually finding someone who makes you feel like a whole person. In this episode I'm sharing all of it — including things I've nev...

  the truth about life after eating disorder recovery | the recovered-ish podcast ep. 28 15.07.2026 17dk

  Episode Description This one was unplanned. My son was in the hospital, life threw a curveball, and I had twenty minutes between sessions to record something real. So that's what this is. In this episode I'm sharing something I've never talked about on the podcast before — and getting honest about what life after recovery actually looks like. Not the highlight reel. The real version, where hard things still happen and you have to figure out how to keep showing up anyway. This is a shorter one...

  "I'm done with recovery" — what that feeling is really telling you | the recovered-ish podcast ep. 27 08.07.2026 43dk

  Episode Description If you've ever thought "I can't do this anymore" or "I just want my life to stop being about recovery" — this episode is for you. In this episode I'm breaking down the difference between recovery burnout and actually outgrowing your eating disorder, because they can feel almost identical from the inside — and they require completely different responses. One is a sign that recovery is working. The other is a sign you need something different. Knowing which one you're in cha...

  scales, weight comments, grief, and imposter syndrome — ED recovery Q&A | the recovered-ish podcast ep. 26 01.07.2026 49dk

  Episode Description You sent in your questions and I'm answering them — honestly, not clinically. This is the real-life picture, not the textbook one. In this episode I'm getting into some of the most common and most loaded questions I receive from people in eating disorder recovery — from whether to look at the scale in treatment, to what to say when someone comments on your weight, to how to stop feeling like you're faking it because you actually ate today. In This Episode: Should you look ...

  unexpected things my eating disorder taught me | the recovered-ish podcast ep. 25 24.06.2026 41dk

  Episode Description It feels strange to say, but it's true: my eating disorder taught me things that have actually added to my life. Not the behaviors. Not the rules. But real, paradoxical lessons that I've carried with me into recovery and into the rest of my life. In this episode I'm sharing a casual list of the unexpected things I learned through my eating disorder — about my body, about planning, about self-compassion, about the power of my own brain. These lessons go way beyond food and ...

  pregnancy, body changes, and eating disorder recovery — the part nobody talks about | the recovered-ish podcast ep. 24 17.06.2026 42dk

  Episode Description I used to think pregnancy would give me a break from my eating disorder. That the permission to gain weight, to nourish my baby, would make it all feel easy. That's not quite how it went. In this episode I'm getting honest about what body changes in pregnancy actually feel like when you have an eating disorder history — the first trimester appetite chaos, the body dysmorphia on high alert, the awkward in-between phase where nothing fits, and the pressure to be the perfect ...

  travel in ED recovery — my honest survival guide | the recovered-ish podcast ep. 23 10.06.2026 46dk

  Episode Description Travel is one of the hardest things you can do in eating disorder recovery. New foods, broken routines, different meal times, swimsuits, pictures — it's a lot. And nobody really talks about how to actually get through it. In this episode I'm sharing my honest survival guide for traveling in ED recovery — from what it looked like when I was deep in my disorder on a family trip to Hawaii, to what it looked like this past month traveling to New York and Maryland fully recover...

  why letting go of your eating disorder feels like losing yourself | the recovered-ish podcast ep. 22 03.06.2026 41dk

  One of the biggest blocks in fully recovering from an eating disorder isn't the food. It's identity. In this episode I'm getting into something I've been circling around for a while but never done a full deep dive into — the way an eating disorder becomes a mask, a persona, a way of being seen in the world. And why letting go of it can feel terrifying even when you desperately want to. This one gets personal. We're going all the way back to a backwards baseball cap, through the eating disorde...

  does intuitive eating work in eating disorder recovery? | the recovered-ish podcast ep. 21 27.05.2026 48dk

  Episode Description Short answer: yes. Long answer: it's complicated, it takes time, and it definitely doesn't happen the way most people think it does. In this episode I'm getting into my own journey from restriction, to meal plan, to eventually finding something that actually feels like food freedom — and what every stage of that actually looked like. Including the messy middle, the slips, and the moments I started to actually trust my body again. Inspired by a comment questioning why I sti...

  fear of weight gain, quasi-recovery, and social eating — your questions answered | recovered-ish with chloe cox 20.05.2026 47dk

  You asked, I answered. I get so many DMs and comments with really good recovery questions that deserve more than a quick reply — so this week I'm doing a rapid fire Q&A covering some of the most common and most important ones I've received. We're getting into comparison, quasi-recovery, fear of weight gain, social eating, family dynamics, book recommendations, and more. This one is packed with honest, practical answers — no fluff, no sugarcoating. In This Episode: How to get out of a comp...

  muffins, missing the ED, and finding hope — reading my ED diaries part two | recovered-ish with chloe cox 13.05.2026 48dk

  Back by popular demand — we're back in the journals. In this episode I'm reading more entries from my eating disorder treatment diaries. These are unfiltered, verbatim entries from residential, PHP, and IOP — the rawest, most honest documentation of what recovery actually looked like from the inside. This one goes to some dark places. There are entries about missing the disorder, about feeling like recovery wasn't worth it, about a muffin that sent me into a complete spiral. But there are als...

  my ugliest eating disorder thoughts — and what they actually meant | recovered-ish with chloe cox 06.05.2026 43dk

  Episode Description Last week's episode sparked a lot of conversation online. I posted a clip about eating disorder recovery in the ozempic era and the comments absolutely exploded — and it got me thinking about something I've been wanting to talk about for a while. The thoughts I had in my eating disorder that I'm not proud of. The ones that would probably get me canceled if I posted them without context. The ones that felt so real at the time and are so clearly the disorder talking when I l...

  what actually causes an eating disorder? | recovered-ish with chloe cox 29.04.2026 40dk

  One of the most common questions I get — from clients, from my own lived experience, from people who have spent years wondering — is this: why me? Why did I get an eating disorder when the people around me didn't? In this episode I'm getting into the real answer. Not the oversimplified version. The actual, nuanced, deeply personal answer — using my own story, my clinical experience, and the framework I use with clients in my group program The Quasi-Recovery Exit to help people understand them...

  the ozempic era is making ED recovery harder — my honest take | recovered-ish with chloe cox 22.04.2026 40dk

  Episode Description First things first — I have some news. Big news. News that explains a lot of the cryptic, tired, off-kilter energy you've been picking up on these last few weeks. I'm pregnant. Baby number two is on the way and she is a girl. But after that announcement, we're getting into something I've been genuinely fired up about — because right now, in 2026, I believe this is one of the hardest moments in recent history to be in eating disorder recovery. The cultural noise around weig...

  why is body image still so hard in recovery — what actually helps | recovered-ish with chloe cox 15.04.2026 48dk

  Honest confession: my body image has been pretty rough lately. And yes, I know — I'm a recovered eating disorder therapist who just last week talked about how quiet my ED voice has gotten. So what gives? In this episode I'm getting real about what bad body image actually looks like for me now, 11 years into recovery. How it's different from the eating disorder voice. What body dysmorphia really feels like from the inside. And the specific things that actually help me move through it — not the...

  does the eating disorder voice ever go away? | recovered-ish with chloe cox 08.04.2026 43dk

  Episode Description One of the most common questions I get — from clients, from Instagram, from people deep in the trenches of recovery — is this: does the eating disorder voice ever actually go away? In this episode, I get honest about my own experience with the ED voice: what it sounded like at its worst, how it shifted through different stages of recovery, and where it lives now (spoiler: it's a lot more like an intrusive thought about tap dancing in a grocery store than a voice running my...

  the recovery reality check nobody gives you | the recovered-ish podcast ep. 13 01.04.2026 42dk

  hello, lovely friends. welcome back to recovered-ish. today we’re talking about the part of recovery that i think catches a lot of people off guard: how long it takes. how messy it is. and how discouraging it can feel when you’re doing “everything right” and still not feeling better yet. because i think a lot of people go into recovery expecting it to feel hard for a little while… and then eventually click into place. and when that doesn’t happen, it’s really easy to spiral into: ...

  food guilt is deeper than you think | the recovered-ish podcast ep. 12 25.03.2026 44dk

  hi! welcome back to recovered-ish. today we’re talking about food guilt. but not in the surface-level way it’s usually talked about. because this isn’t just “i feel a little guilty.” this is the kind of guilt that hits after you eat and makes you feel like you need to fix it. immediately. the kind that lingers. the kind that turns into “i shouldn’t have done that” → “i am bad.” and if you’ve ever been stuck in that loop of eat → feel awful → compensate → feel safe → repeat this episode is goi...

  ED lies, identity loss, and rebuilding – reading my ED diaries | the recovered-ish podcast ep. 11 18.03.2026 45dk

  hello, lovely friends. welcome back to recovered-ish. today’s episode is a little different. i was feeling kind of chaotic, kind of scattered, and i knew i did not have it in me to do justice to one of the bigger, heavier topics i had planned. so instead, i did something i honestly never thought i would do. i pulled out my old journals. the actual journals i kept from the depths of my eating disorder through therapy, residential treatment, php, iop, and early recovery. five full books of wild...
