Surviving the Festive Season with Eating Disorders: Laura Phelan's Guide
“Physically, the mental battle that I'm sure you can resonate with is far longer than the physical battle.”
The holiday season can be a challenging time for anyone struggling with eating disorders, and in this episode of TRIBE TALK, Emily Andrew gets candid with Laura Phelan, a therapist and coach who specializes in eating disorders and body image. Laura shares her personal journey through an almost decade-long battle with an eating disorder and depression, providing a deeply empathetic perspective.
Together, they tackle the tough questions that often arise during the festive period, such as how to handle relatives' comments like 'you look well' and managing the abundance of food-centric gatherings. Laura offers practical advice and coping strategies to help listeners maintain their mental health and navigate the season's social pressures. Whether it's through her one-on-one coaching or her workshops, Laura's mission is to empower individuals to feel well from the inside out.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone facing similar struggles or supporting someone who is. Tune in for heartfelt stories, valuable tips, and a sense of community that reminds you, you are not alone.
