The Recovery Feed (formerly the Paved with Gold Podcast) is a podcast about eating disorder recovery, told by people who’ve lived it. Hosted by Ash M and Callie C, we’re two humans with lived experience, sharing stories in the belief that one day eating disorder treatment will be as diverse, nuanced, and individual as the people who need it. We talk about the messy, complicated, multi-layered reality of eating disorders, and what recovery actually looks like. Not the glossy ‘posters of affirmation’ version. The real one. With some not-so-gentle needling of the diet and wellness industry thrown in for good measure. This podcast is for anyone navigating recovery, loving someone who is, working in the field, or trying to better understand the cultural forces that shape it all. Our aim is simple: to widen the conversation, challenge outdated narratives, and make recovery feel possible. IMPORTANT INFORMATION: If you or someone you know is struggling with an eating disorder, or you are worried that you have or are beginning to have a destructive relationship with food, please seek help as soon as you can. You can find links to many resources and other information on our website.

Episode #44
44 - America's Next Top Model Part 3: Tyra Banks — Tyrant or Trailblazer?
Aug 2, 20262h 8m
The final chapter of our America's Next Top Model deep dive is here. In Part 3, Ash peels back the curtain on the production tactics used to control contestants and shape the stories we all watched unfold. We dive into the Netflix lawsuit, unpack the lasting impact ANTM had on an entire generation's relationship with bodies, beauty, and what it takes to succeed to 'be on top', and explore how the show's legacy has shifted from cultural phenomenon to cultural reckoning. And because Ash clearly wasn't finished unpacking twenty years of Top Model baggage, she closes the series with a few parting words she thinks Tyra Banks needs to hear. Trigger warning: This episode contains discussion of anti-fatness, sexual assault, eating disorders, coercive control, and emotional abuse. Please listen at your own discretion.

42 - America's Next Top Model Part 1: Tyra, Top Model, and the Birth of a Reality TV Empire
Jun 8, 20261h 57m
You wanna be on top? Buckle up kiddies, because Ash is taking a ginormous swan dive into the depths of America's Next Top Model. In Part 1 of this series, we explore the woman behind one of the most influential reality shows of the 2000s: Tyra Banks. From her early life and modelling career to the creation of ANTM, we unpack the vision behind the franchise and the contradictions that would come to define it. How did a show created to empower young women become one so often criticised for body shaming, exploitation, and turning vulnerability into entertainment? If you, too, feel personally victimised by ANTM, join us for this wild ride. Trigger warning: This episode contains discussion of anti-fatness, body shaming, eating disorders, and eating disorder behaviours.

41- The Lived Experience Era: Recovery Coaching, and the Grey Area of Recovery Support
May 10, 20261h 44m
Welcome to the Lived Experience era — where we discuss the good, the bad, and the horrendously unregulated sides to recovery coaching. In this episode of the Recovery Feed, Ash and Callie unravel the complex world of lived experience advocacy; why it's important, its immense potential, and the pitfalls to watch out for. While these roles can provide personalised, flexible support outside traditional treatment, the lack of regulation invites serious risks...and unqualified grifters. This is why we can't have nice things.

39 - What Grinds My Gears 1: Food Swaps, Mum Groups and Being Childfree in Recovery
Jun 9, 20251h 8m
We have opinions, and as usual, we're not afraid to share them. On what will probably be the first of a series, Ash and Callie are ranting about some of the things that really grind their gears. Under fire in this episode are Mum groups that make you feel bad about yourself, why an omelette is not a pizza and why not having children is perfectly ok, especially when you have a history of an eating disorder.

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
