Hosts Maria and Sarah open up this episode of Eat Girl Eat celebrating the fact that Sarah is an official co-host of the podcast. This has brought up some interesting reflections for Sarah. In the past, her assuming mind felt all therapists must have their lives sorted in order to be giving qualified advice. In reality, we’re all human, and as humans, we all get caught up in our thinking from time to time.

Maria and Sarah talk about the expectations people place on themselves and how this often differs from the reality we experience. Becoming a learner and observer of your own thoughts and stories and looking beyond them can help you create a greater sense of ease.

Topics covered in this episode:

  • Why it’s important to recognize we’re all thinking, feeling human beings.
  • What happens when you see yourself beyond the label of an eating disorder.
  • The way Sarah felt about her busy mind in the past versus now.
  • The reason why this podcast exists and why it’s important.
  • How we unfairly compare our stories to others.
  • What our minds are designed to do as a survival mechanism.
  • Why Sarah and Maria are unlikely friends (despite connecting so well).
  • How to start from a place of okay-ness.
  • A suggestion on what to get curious about this week.
  • How recognizing you’re not broken can change your life.
  • Common difficulties people encounter around the holidays.
  • The support Maria and Sarah are offering pre-holiday season.
