'Where We Soften' by Kate Kendall
Uncovering the Truth about Eating Disorders
Vanity and self obsession or an addiction to control? So what are eating disorders? Where do they begin? Why do they take hold? And why can't someone experiencing one simply "eat normally"? In this episode of Where We Soften , I sit down with Olivia Soha, founder of Uncovery , whose team of eating disorder recovery coaches walks alongside people through the realities of recovery and relinquishing the need to control. They do the hard things together: sharing meals, buying clothes that fit changing bodies, saying yes to social events that once felt impossible, and gently rebuilding a life that eating disorders often steal away. Olivia also shares the extraordinary spiritual experience that changed the course of her life, and together we explore a quality many people with eating disorders seem to share: profound sensitivity. While this sensitivity can feel overwhelming in illness, in recovery it can become one of our greatest strengths - a source of deep intuition, compassion, creativity, and connection. This conversation is a compassionate look beyond the stereotypes, offering hope, understanding, and a reminder that recovery is about so much more than food.
