In this live episode, hosts Sarah and Stef explain the concepts of "All-In Recovery" versus "All or Nothing Thinking," particularly in the context of the nondiet approach to overeating and restriction cycles.
Stef explains that "All-In Recovery" involves abandoning restrictive eating behaviors entirely, which actually IS a quite all-or-nothing experience. She also explains how it worked to find enough inner quiet to actually find intuitive eating authentically.
Throughout the episode, they highlight the distinctions between intentional eating without shame and unchecked binge eating, stressing the importance of presence and self-compassion in recovery. The hosts also address audience questions about how to identify if All-In Recovery is right for someone and the interplay between allowing binges and maintaining a helpful mindset.
Overall, the episode provides valuable insights into the nuanced differences between these approaches, offering practical advice for individuals navigating their own recovery journeys.

In this episode, we delve into the concept of "triggers" and how they affect our emotions and behaviors (including how they impact binge eating and restricting and body image). Our hosts, Sarah and Stef, share personal anecdotes about feedback on social media (like when people make comments about our clothes or teeth or how we are only in this for ourselves), the psychological and physical responses to being triggered, coping mechanisms, and practical tools. They differentiate between being triggered and being activated, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and time to process intense emotions. The conversation touches on the role of community in managing these reactions and the importance of compassion and presence when dealing with emotional triggers. Join us for an honest discussion on how to navigate the complexities of emotional triggers and find healthier ways to cope.

In this lively and unique episode, Sarah and Stef delve into the concept of joy. They share their personal experiences and struggles with finding joy, reflecting on moments that brought them happiness and the impact those moments had on their mental states. From a sunny drive to Brighton listening to summer reggae (Sarah) to a rollercoaster ride with her daughters (Stef), they explore how joy can stem from both big and small moments. They also discuss the complications of linking joy to external validation (like viral YouTube success or getting asked out by a crush) versus the pure joy from unconnected experiences like nature, music, or meaningful connections. Through their candid conversation, they connect the dots between joy, peace, gratitude, and even existential realizations, proposing that our defenses may often block joy. Along the way, both hosts get a bit vulnerable and offer insights into leaning into moments of discomfort as a way to invite more joy into life.

Welcome back to another episode, everyone! In today's chat, we are explaining Stef's concept of "anchor meals", their psychological and physiological impacts, and how they fit into our daily routines. We start off with entertaining personal stories—from recording mishaps to culinary adventures in Spain—that segue into a discussion on why knowing when your next meal is coming is important for our mental and physical well-being.
We explore how sticking to regular meal times can sync up with our body’s internal hunger cues, providing a sense of security and balance—especially for those recovering from disordered eating patterns. Stef shares insights from her binge recovery course, highlighting the importance of scheduled anchor meals, while Sarah adds personal anecdotes about how meal planning differs for someone living alone versus a family setting.
Whether you're someone who likes to plan every bite or prefer a more flexible approach, this episode covers how anchor meals can be adapted to fit various lifestyles—including tips and experiments to see what works best for you.
Don't miss this one if you're curious about reshaping your eating patterns, want to understand the principles behind "anchor meals" better, or are just looking for relatable, actionable advice on creating a more balanced relationship with food.
