From broken (anorexia, exercise addiction, and binge eating) to soaring (total food freedom & self-love)
Manage episode 438269734 series 3172435
In this week's episode of The Binge Love Podcast, host Victoria Kleinsman interviews her previous coaching client Amanda Dixon about her journey to recovery from an eating disorder.
Listeners can expect to learn about Amanda's decades-long struggle with various disordered eating behaviours, what finally led her to seek help, and how she was eventually able to achieve full recovery with Victoria's guidance.
Key Discussion Points:
- Amanda traces her issues with food back to childhood, when she would sneak downstairs at night to binge eat without her family's knowledge
- She cycled through years of restrictive dieting, bingeing, cutting, and over-exercising in an attempt to numb her trauma
- Hitting rock bottom after a failed attempt to make herself throw up, Amanda discovered Victoria's podcast and law of attraction work and reached out for coaching
- With Victoria's help, Amanda practised mirror work, sat with anxiety and learned to surrender rather than fight her extreme hunger and exercise addiction
- now in a fully recovered and peaceful state, Amanda shares insights with those still struggling and prepares to start her own coaching business
