Making "Recovered" Your New Normal w/ Meg McCabe

In this episode, I interview the inspiring Meg McCabe, a recovered eating disorder coach from Denver, Colorado. Meg uses her lived experience to empower others to choose recovery, engage in all stages of change and lead a life fuelled by self compassion. In this podcast, Meg shares powerful lessons she learned throughout her own recovery process and how her life transformed upon making healing her reality. In this episode: Being blessed to be distant from diet culture breaking free Meg’s experience with an ED Modelling and its contribution to disordered eating and poor body image Feeling the whole spectrum of emotion How vulnerability shows up in recovery Bridging the gap between surviving and thriving Trusting in external sources of support - be vulnerable enough to trust your team Showing up and engaging in therapy Leaning into recovery discomfort Riding the wave of body change Making “healthy” (recovery!) your new normal Giving your new body a chance Focusing on your body EXPERIENCE vs. it’s aesthetic How do you want to look back upon your life when you’re 80? Change is inevitable, learning to accept that enables you to LIVE in PEACE!
