I think it's something I took more seriously in my recovery, and um, yeah, it's. It's kind of like people are really, naturally, of course, upset about having an eating disorder, which I totally understand is very valid, like it's hard, but at the same time, something I like to encourage, at least with my clients and my followers, is that like it's really just asking you to course correct and there's just something going on and something needs your attention which is beautiful, like thank your body for speaking to you, and now it's time for you to stop ignoring your body and ignoring your needs and put yourself first.
Imagine struggling with eating disorders, body image issues, and digestive problems. Now imagine turning that struggle into a beacon of hope for others. That’s exactly what Kate Noel has done. In this episode of IMPOWERED: ED & MH Recovery, host Imogen Barnes sits down with Kate, a certified coach and healer, to discuss her remarkable journey from battling eating disorders to becoming a guiding light for those on similar paths. Kate's story is one of resilience and transformation.
Starting out as a competitive gymnast and cheerleader, she faced emotional and physical challenges that many of us can relate to. After stepping away from the sport, her recovery journey began—though not without its hurdles. She talks candidly about the societal pressures that glorify restrictive behaviors, making it tough for anyone in recovery to break free from these harmful norms. Throughout the episode, Kate shares her philosophy of HONEST wellness.
Unlike traditional wellness trends that focus on detoxes and cleanses, HONEST wellness is about aligning with your true values and living authentically. Kate's approach to self-care is holistic; she emphasizes practices like meditating, journaling, and even taking long baths as essential components of her healing process. The conversation also delves into the impact of eating disorders on various aspects of life, including intimacy and relationships.
Kate opens up about the sacrifices she had to make to maintain an eating-disordered body and mind, shedding light on the mental, physical, and emotional toll it takes. She stresses the importance of realigning with one's true values and the distinction between mere nutrition and genuine nourishment. For anyone grappling with similar issues or supporting someone who is, this episode offers invaluable insights and hope. Kate’s journey underscores the importance of putting oneself first and listening to one’s body.
Tune in to hear how she transformed her pain into a source of strength and learn practical tips for embracing HONEST wellness in your own life.
