Today I’m talking to Karla Manzanilla, all the way from Mexico. She is someone who has lived with anorexia, bulimia, compulsive exercise, and orthorexia for more than 27 years. I’m pleased to report that she is now fully recovered and describes experiencing feeling fully alive again. Karla is also a mother to three incredible teenagers.
Karla is passionate about encouraging hope - that recovery is possible no matter your age, eating disorder duration, your culture, gender, sex, or religion, She believes that eating disorders can live within any of us. We can all be vulnerable to this.
In the podcast today, Karla is going to talk about her recovery story. She hopes that through this, she can inspire listeners, especially the parents that live in silence and solitude with an eating disorder. Parents can be experiencing so much shame, anxiety and guilt for their secret ed behaviours, leading to a double life: on the outside as the coping mother or father, whilst inwardly struggling so desperately.
Karla’s life mission changed due to her personal recovery journey and now she is helping clients to heal their relationship with food and body. Karla’s coaching is oriented towards Latin American people suffering with chronic eating disorders. She is also opening the door to new and more accessible treatment services in her region. Currently, eating disorder treatment is very classist and it’s difficult to access via the public health system, with limited or no treatment options in some areas.
In the episode today, you’re going to hear all about Karla’s inspiring recovery journey and how she is now using her experience to support others, particularly within Latin American culture. I hope that you enjoy the conversation.

5 Paradoxes You Might Experience in Eating Disorder Recovery
Wednesday Nov 01, 2023
Wednesday Nov 01, 2023
A Bite Size episode. Social media can portray eating disorder recovery as a very 'black and white' process, with distinct rights and wrongs. Whereas in fact, recovery is significantly more complex than this and there are plenty of nuances. In this episode, I explore some of the paradoxes in eating disorder recovery looking at food and eating; emotions; finding the right help; short v long game and individual v general experience. I hope that you find it helpful.

Today I’m talking to Erin Washington, host of the wildly popular podcast, Squats & Margaritas. Erin’s upcoming book, From Pain to Purpose: Finding Meaning in The Mess, is a second edition of her previously released book, Squats & Margaritas. In this new edition, Erin details her journey through twenty years of an eating disorder and finding body peace and acceptance at the age of 38 and finding her life’s purpose during the global pandemic.
Squats & Margaritas was written when Erin felt compelled to share a new method of working out that produced proper results. For years, Erin exercised rigorously and deprived herself of many foods and activities. It wasn’t until she found balance that she achieved both physical and mental wellbeing. At the time of releasing the first edition, Erin believed she was writing from her highest form of self. And then the global pandemic hit and her purpose shifted immensely.
Erin was called to start weekly Instagram live conversations early on in the pandemic and was having real conversations with her followers about our daily struggles, including being in lockdown with young children, how hard it was to maintain a workout or a schedule, and much more. These conversations led Erin to her weekly podcast, Squats & Margaritas, conversations to help women feel seen and inspired to find their own purpose.
I’m really looking forward to speaking with Erin today as her story is very relatable to many of you. Erin will be talking about her eating disorder recovery journey and particularly how she changed her relationship with exercise and working out. Erin is going to speak about finding purpose in life and how anyone can do this. Erin has founded the Blue Butterflies Foundation which empowers teenage girls around body image and self-worth issues. She is going to share her best body image tips and some wisdom for mums raising daughters. I hope that you enjoy the conversation.
