In this episode:
What if recovery isn’t a finish line, but a place we learn to live in? In this deeply personal episode, I sit down with journalist, professor, and author Mallary Tenore Tarpley to talk abouther upcoming book, SLIP: Life in the Middle ofEating Disorder Recovery.
Mallary shares how losing her mother at age 11shaped her relationship with food, and why chasing “full recovery” can sometimes feel like chasing a mirage.
We dive into the often-overlooked “middle place”of healing, that space between crisis and full recovery, and why slips aren’t signs of failure, but invitations to grow, reflect, and extend compassion to ourselves. If you’re navigating sobriety, disordered eating, or any kind of recovery, this conversation is a heartfelt reminder that healing isn’t linear, and you’re not alone.
