There’s this picture-perfect version of recovery that gets talked about everywhere: eat the fear food, delete MyFitnessPal, take the rest day, love yourself more. But let’s be real — that’s only half the story.
This episode? Is the other half.
The grief no one prepped you for.
The identity crisis that hits when you let go of control.
The loneliness of realizing your old routines were actually your entire personality.
The confusing days when you miss the version of you that was hurting — because at least she felt safe.
I’m sharing the messy, uncomfortable, painfully real parts of recovery that almost broke me… and the exact truths that put me back together.
If you’ve ever wondered why healing doesn’t feel like healing at first — this one’s for you.
Because it’s not that you’re doing it wrong.
It’s that no one warned you how brave it would have to be.
You’re doing better than you think. 💜
