Control & Letting Go

In this episode, Meg and Saf dive into the theme of control – how it shows up in eating disorders, and why it feels so hard to let go. They explore the underlying drive for control, how it impacts day-to-day life, and why loosening its grip is such a crucial part of recovery.

They share some of the “rules” they once lived by – from minimum amounts and rigid routines to choosing the most boring versions of food – and how those rules stripped away freedom and connection with others.

You’ll hear honest reflections on:

Why the need for control feels so powerful in EDs
The hidden costs of staying controlled
Practical ways to challenge those rules
The freedom, flexibility, and joy that come from letting go
