What's wrong with being confident?

Imagine the cascading effects of waking up with more confidence over weeks, months, years

You would likely....

Have more opportunities because you would ask for what you want.Experience better treatment because you would ask for what you need.Care less about the opinions and judgments of others.Trust you can navigate your way through the highs and lows in life.

Confidence is a birthright of all of ours.

Yet, so many of us hold a distorted view of expressing and embodying it.

Jessica & Andrea return to Fear Less to break down the difference between confidence and arrogance, and how knowing the difference can help you more forward in a more impactful recovery.

"An eating disorder starts out as a way to gain control, until it starts controlling you."

In this episode, we explore the scientific research on the role control plays in eating disorders and the different reasons it manifests. 

With an eating disorder, food, weight, appearance, and self-concept become meticulously managed and controlled. 

You may find that your life gets organized around routines and behaviors that provide a sense of safety and familiarity because when we feel a lack of control in our lives, we seek to make our environments and lives predictable.

"And for some reason, I thought if I was smaller, I would somehow be better at my sport."

Sherry is a driven woman. Someone you would want on your team because you would trust that she wouldn't give up and would give it her all.

This trait has served her well in her career, academics, and athletics, but not with food and exercise. Sherry starved herself and ran herself ragged for years trying to be smaller.

After the sudden and traumatic loss of her Dad when she was only 13, exercise became something she turned to for control when the world around her felt unsafe and out of control.

After joining the Courage Club, Sherry's life turned around. She found appreciation for the strength and power of her body. And now that she is not trying to make her body smaller or be beholden to a set of rules, she's found movement that makes her feel wonderful.

Listen in for the full story as Sherry shares her body story with Jessica Flint.

“The more you try to “fix” the more you fixate on the “problem”. The problem that’s not even there. But it magnifies and you see it get bigger. This makes you feel more negative about yourself. You obsess over it and this only makes you feel worse.”

This is an excerpt from a beautiful letter written by Nikki, a current member of the Courage Club. 

In this episode, you'll hear the entire letter and the recovery wisdom woven through every word. 

If you feel inspired, take it further and write a full length letter to yourself.

What stories do you tell yourself about your body?

That's what fellow recovery warrior and mental health advocate Nia Patterson asks in their new body image workbook What's The Story?.

Nia is a social activist, artist, content creator, podcaster, and business and body image coach. You may know Nia as @thefriendineverwanted online, where they share messages about eating disorder recovery, body liberation, fat activism, body acceptance, and more.

In November 2023, Nia released their first book titled What's the Story?: A Guided Walkthrough of the Stories You Tell Yourself About Your Body. In this episode, they join host Andrea Wells to discuss this book and share their experience of pursuing eating disorder recovery as a queer black person in a larger body.

Take a listen to hear how you can rewrite your own body story, and how advocating for body liberation can be an important part of the recovery process (no matter what size your body is).

Key Takeaways from the episode:

Body Neutrality: Nia Patterson introduces the concept of body acceptance spectrum, emphasizing that aiming for body tolerance is a valid step in recovery, rather than solely aiming for body love or acceptance. This nuanced approach allows individuals to acknowledge where they are in their recovery journey and sets realistic goals for progress.Early Focus on Body Liberation: Nia stresses the importance of addressing body liberation as an early step in the recovery process, challenging the traditional approach that prioritizes it as a later concern. This shift in mindset can revolutionize how we support individuals in their recovery journeys.Combatting Internalized Fatphobia: The episode delves into the impact of internalized fat phobia and societal beauty standards on individuals' mental health. Nia provides valuable insights on reframing negative thoughts and the ongoing process of distancing from unattainable beauty ideals.

Sometimes you gotta turn to the pros. 

Think about the level of dedication that a professional like Taylor Swift shows up with for her music and fans.

Taylor Swift shows commitment over the long haul. She didn't let a massive setback like losing the rights to her music and being bullied by Kanye and Scooter stop her from creating new music. Instead, she is patiently re-recording her hits, writing new ones, and selling out stadiums. Taylor endures adversity and continues to reinvent herself. These are qualities of "turning pro". When you turn pro, you don't let life break you. Instead, you dance with it, you sing with it, you laugh with it, you cry with it. You approach it like Taylor Swift.

Join hosts Jessica Flint and Andrea Wells as they discuss the concept of "turning pro" and how treating your recovery as the most important thing in your life can lead to incredible transformations. 

Get inspired by the dedication and passion of professionals like Taylor Swift and learn how to bring that same energy into your own journey towards recovery. By reframing your mindset and approaching recovery as a professional endeavor, you can unlock a new level of growth and transformation.

What if the true problem was not food or your body size? What if it was the power you gave food and your body size?

The power to determine your happiness, the power to numb your pain, the power to punish you, the power to isolate you from connection, the power to play small.

What would it look like if you take your power back and focus your energy on problems you enjoy having and solving?

"I think the most important thing for me to learn was the fact that change was possible. And that I didn't have to keep reproducing the same patterns of behaviors, thoughts, or relationships." - Clélia Froguel

Today we have an inspirational story of recovery from a warrior I have personally worked with, Clelia Froguel. She is a shining example of what happens when you ditch diets and stop letting the elusive chase of weight loss be your primary marker of success.

Clelia and I go way back to the very beginning of this podcast, when it use to be called the Recovery Warrior Show, I’ve updated the name to the Recovery Warrior Shows because our vision is to expand to bring you collection of unique shows that target different stages and interests in the recovery space.

But back to the beginning of the podcast. I just released the Rise Up app and was a few years into working on Recovery Warriors. On the podcast I announced that I was opening up some one-on-one coaching spots, and she was the first person to sign up. We worked together for well over a year and I had the privilege of watching her transform. 

She showed me that what I was teaching actually works to help other people in their recovery, change is possible. And since then I’ve gone on to create online programs like Map My Recovery that have given nearly 1,000 warriors the training, accountability, and structure they need to make real change happen.

But it all started with Clelia, and I am so honored to have her here to share her story and her experience working with me as she recovered from bulimia and binge eating. She truly has become the hero of her own story.

"An eating disorder starts out as a way to gain control, until it starts controlling you." 

When we feel a lack of control in our lives, we experience anxiety and despair. We seek to make our environments and our lives predictable. With an eating disorder our food, weight, and self-concept becomes meticulously managed and controlled. We create routines, build habits, and organize our lives around behaviors that provide a sense of safe and familiarity.

In this episode, we explore the scientific research on the role control plays in eating disorders and the different reasons it manifest.

We've bought into the idea that we're capable of controlling our emotions. We're not. At the same time, our emotions provide us powerful keys to self-awareness. They serve as a way to help us understand our needs, boundaries, and desires better.

In this episode we cover five intense emotions connected to eating disorders so you can get to a place where you embrace their intensity without turning to eating disorder behaviors, and ultimately understand their underlying messages.

“The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself”. -Maya Angelou

For this "5 Things Friday" we're covering steps you can take to improve your body image.

"To truly pursue recovery, you do have to make changes, there's no way that you can keep interacting with life, the way that you are right now with food and your body the way you are, you do need to let go."

Kelly Uchima opens up about her need to change her relationship to food and exercise. Swept up in the fitspo community, advice, tips, and "best practices" fueled her eating disorder. As the fitness community validated her body insecurities, she became more and more obsessed with measuring her food and exercise. Now in a strong and active recovery, she has a lot of wisdom to share on her journey from fitspo to self-lovespo.
