You say you want food freedom. To rest without guilt. To stop obsessing.
But when it comes time to actually let go?
Your chest tightens. Your mind spirals. And suddenly, healing doesn’t feel freeing—it feels unsafe.
In episode 4 of The Fit Without Obsession Podcast, we break down why healing can feel so terrifying—especially when your identity is wrapped in control. Through my own story of post-treatment panic, navigating praise for unhealthy habits, and the discomfort of peace, I'll help you see why you’re not broken… you’re just scared. And that fear? It makes so much sense.
Inside this episode:
- Why control feels safe (but is actually stealing your life)
- The hidden grief no one talks about in recovery
- How to take brave steps toward freedom—even if it terrifies you
If you’ve ever wondered, “Who am I without this obsession?”—this episode is for you.
