The Relationship Between Money and Eating Disorders

In today’s episode, we’re talking about something that doesn’t get enough airtime in recovery — money. How eating disorders can shape the way you spend, save, restrict, or feel anxious around money. And how those patterns often stick around, even when food feels a bit more stable.We’ll chat about why eating disorders and money control are so closely linked, how fear and scarcity can show up in spending habits, and why recovery isn’t just about food — it’s about safety, trust, and self-worth too. I’ll also share some reflections from my own experience, because this is something I’ve had to unpick myself.If you’ve ever felt guilty spending money on food, support, or yourself, or noticed that financial control feels tied to your eating disorder, this episode will help you feel less alone. Let me know your thoughts!
