A Bite Size episode! Although sorry that it's not very bite sized.
In this episode, I explore my own personal journey as a recovering people pleaser and how this was tangled up in bulimic and other eating disorder behaviours. I talk about 6 true costs of being a people-pleaser and then explain 6 ways to find freedom, embrace change and become more authentic.
I hope that you find it helpful.

Today I'm speaking with Tessa Peters, CEO and founder of Been There, a charity app dedicated to helping those with body image struggles get paired with a mentor and find the support they need.
Tessa was plagued with body image struggles from her earliest childhood days, into her teens and twenties and also struggling with eating disorders. She felt incredibly alone and misunderstood, and was desperate to find someone removed from friends and family, who she could trust and openly share here struggles with, someone who had been in a similar situation to her. Tessa saw counsellors, dietitians and therapists – but she felt that none of these worked for her fully and they lacked relatability. She recognised that she needed a service like Been There so decided to create this herself. Been There aims to make a positive and powerful difference to people facing body image issues.
During Tessa’s own journey she eventually found a Mentor and still speaks with him today. The value of this relationship and the impact it has had on her life, has been life-saving. Been There’s volunteer Mentors are here to support people through their own journeys and make sure that no one feels alone.
In the episode today, I speak to Tessa about her history of eating disorders and body image issues, and why she felt so passionately about creating Been There. I explore more about the power of mentorship that this incredible charity offers. This episode will help you feel less alone and you may want to think about Been There mentorship yourself if you are struggling. I hope that you enjoy the conversation.

Today, I’m talking to Dr. Marianne Miller (all the way from San Diego) who has been in the mental health field for 26 years and has specialised in eating disorders for the last 11 years. Marianne was a full-time academic for 12 years and had a part-time eating disorder practice for much of that time (until she left the university) and went into private practice full-time in 2018.
Dr. Marianne loves working with eating disorders as a therapist and a coach. She takes a non-diet, feminist approach that helps people of all genders live empowered, authentic lives. She embraces the Health at Every Size model and is LGBTQIAA+ affirming. Dr. Marianne recently launched the Inevitable Binge Eating Recovery online program. It helps high-achieving professionals regain their mental and emotional energy by shifting their relationship with food to be fully present in their life.
In this episode today, Marianne explores some of the tools and strategies that she uses in supporting her clients with overcoming binge eating. She talks about the subtle ways that restriction can manifest itself, so triggering binges. Marianne explores mental restriction; how to introduce forbidden foods and more. Marianne is absolutely passionate about this area of work and you are going to learn so much from her. I hope that you enjoy it!

Today, I’m talking to Elle Mace – Coach & Mentor, Master Practitioner in Eating disorders, obesity and body dysmorphia; Nutrition and weight management therapist as well as a life and positive psychology coach. Previously, Elle has worked as a personal trainer and aerobics instructor, having a passion for health and fitness.
Elle is a returning guest to the Eating Disorder Therapist Podcast and if you’d like to hear about her recovery story, you can listen to her previous episode – link is in the show notes.
In the past, Elle struggled with an unhealthy relationship with food and her body, this starting at the tender age of ten years old, when she received unwanted comments about her body. Clearly, this had a huge impact on Elle’s body image and self-esteem, and she began to starve herself, and then understandably fell into binge eating. Then, over several years, she fell into destructive eating disorder cycles impacting her physical and mental wellbeing.
Fast forward a few years, and Elle decided that ‘enough was enough’. She had to free herself from the food demons and fall back in love with her body and with herself. It wasn’t an easy journey. It took much strength, determination and self-care – and bravely moving away from the seductions of dieting.
I’m pleased to say that today, Elle is in a very different place. She now uses her experience, qualifications and knowledge to help others heal their relationship with food, their bodies and ultimately themselves. She brings much passion and enthusiasm in her work in supporting others, after walking this path herself and knowing that real recovery is possible.
In this episode, Elle talks about the use of positive psychology as a tool in eating disorder recovery. She talks affirmations, toxic positivity, body image, the conscious versus the unconscious mind and more. This is an episode to inspire hope and motivation on your healing journey and it will equip you with some practical tools to help you on the way. I hope that you enjoy the conversation.

A Bite Size episode.
Many people with eating disorders struggle with laxative abuse. It's not talked about enough and there can be much shame associated with this. In the episode, I talk about why people fall into laxative abuse and consider strategies to reduce dependency and ultimately come off laxatives.
If you've been dependent on laxatives for a while, you might want to get support from your GP in managing this and monitoring your physical health alongside.
