Today I am talking to Victoria Ying, Victoria is a critically acclaimed author and artist living in Los Angeles. She started her career in the arts by falling in love with comic books, this eventually turned into a career working in animation and graphic novels. She loves Japanese Curry, putting things in her shopping cart online and taking them out again and hanging out with her husband and furry friends. Her film credits include Tangled, Wreck it Ralph, Frozen, Paperman, Big Hero 6, and Moana. She is the illustrator on DC’s “Diana Princess of the Amazons” and the author and illustrator of “City of Secrets,” and the sequel “City of Illusion” in stores everywhere! Her upcoming graphic novel projects include the sequel to “Diana Princess of the Amazons” and a Young Adult debut “Hungry Ghost.” This is a is a beautifully rendered exploration of a teenage girl’s life as she navigates grief, and her eating disorder, seeking self-acceptance, love, and the strength to find help.
In the conversation today, we explore Victoria’s own eating disorder recovery journey and the things that helped her with this. We talk her fiction book and the themes explored throughout. Victoria shares books that were particularly helpful to her around fat activism and eating disorder recovery memoirs. She shares how much of her initial recovery journey was explored alone, rather than with support. She reflects on eating disorders in Chinese and other Asian/American communities and the impact of having immigrant parents, whilst being brought up in American culture and the isolation and confusion this can bring with the different perspectives. This is a fascinating episode; so much value and inspiration here. I hope that you enjoy it.

Today I’m talking with Julia Trehane who is an anorexia, orthorexia and compulsive exercise recovery coach. Julia has overcome 40 years gripped by eating disorders and is now passionate about instilling hope for change in others. Julia Trehane is a podcast host, eating disorder coach, food freedom advocate and anti-diet culture campaigner.
Julia uses her wealth of scientific understanding, applied with a huge amount of love to help people all around the world to break free from eating disorders and love themselves once more.
Having survived 40 years of anorexia, orthorexia and exercise addiction, Julia has a deep understanding of how it feels to be gripped by food prison, how the mind processes information in an eating disorder and how to re-wire our thoughts to break free and return to freedom forever.
If you’re feeling lost, stuck and hopeless, living in the depths of an eating disorder, this is definitely an episode for you. Julia shares about her long and arduous battle with eating disorders, describing how she hit rock bottom in the pandemic and experienced some incredibly dark times. She shares with great vulnerability and openness about how she turned things around and began healing. Julia talks about going ‘all-in’ in recovery, in all senses of the word by embracing restriction, exercise, perfectionism, rigid routines and deep-rooted fear about life. You will be encouraged, supported and inspired by what is possible. I hope that you enjoy the conversation.

I hope that you find it helpful.

Understanding More About the Psychology of Eating Disorders
Saturday Jun 10, 2023
Saturday Jun 10, 2023
People that develop eating disorders tend to be sensitive souls, who feel their feelings very deeply. Ultimately this is a super-power and means that individuals are hugely empathetic, kind and compassionate beings. But it also means that the world can feel overwhelming and tricky to navigate at times. It can exacerbate issues with low self-esteem, people pleasing, perfectionism and in managing emotions. In this episode, I focus in on pleasing and perfectionist traits to hopefully help those with eating disorders feel better understood and to offer carers and loved ones further insight. Of course, I am generalising in this episode and every person’s experience is unique, so if you don’t relate, trust your inner wisdom and your own path. I hope that you enjoy the episode.

Shedding Shame and Eating Disorders
Wednesday Jun 07, 2023
Wednesday Jun 07, 2023
A Bite Size episode.
Underneath an eating disorder is often a deep sense of shame. In this episode, I explore shame, with the loneliness and isolation that accompanies it. I talk about the perceived envy and sense of competition you might feel from others and the associated shame with this. I normalise shame as a universal feeling that we all experience, and explore strategies to overcome it.
I hope that you enjoy the episode.

It’s Not About Food, It’s About Feelings
Saturday Jun 03, 2023
Saturday Jun 03, 2023
This episode was released in 2021 and has been one of my most popular downloads, so I thought that I would share it again, whilst I head off for few days holiday.
I’m talking about food and feelings. I explore how our early relationship with food develops, the emotional environment at home and how this all intertwines to influence the food and feelings connection. I explain how you can begin to tune into your emotions and find healthier ways of coping, rather than restricting or overeating. I hope that you enjoy this episode.
