200. 3 Capacities That Matter More Than Motivation in Eating Disorder Recovery

Guys. We just hit Episode 200!!  Whether you've been here since the beginning or you just found this podcast five minutes ago, I'm really glad you're here. This space has grown in ways I never expected, and it only works because you keep showing up and actually doing this work alongside me. In this episode, we're shifting the focus away from motivation and onto three capacities that actually determine whether you can follow through. These are the things that help you take action when you're tired, overwhelmed, not in the mood, or honestly just done with all of it. This is the work that makes recovery possible in real life, not just in theory. If you've ever felt stuck in that cycle of wanting to change but not being able to act on it consistently, this is where things start to make a lot more sense. Quotes  "Ultimately, if motivation were enough, most of you would already be recovered." - Rachelle Heinemann "Motivation depends on your mood. It depends on your level of energy, and very often eating disorders reduce motivation for recovery because they solve something." - Rachelle Heinemann "Recovery requires skills that you can use without that feeling." - Rachelle Heinemann "Most eating disorder behaviors are attempts to regulate discomfort quickly. It is not necessarily instant gratification, but in some ways it is." - Rachelle Heinemann "There is no full recovery without relational recovery as well." - Rachelle Heinemann Resources Brave on Purpose! - Grab my new book here!
