Episode Description

I Am Allison Anderson and I Am a "middle place" binge eater.

Mallary Tenore Tarpley is a beautiful soul sharing a much needed message with the world through her forthcoming book titled Slip, available for pre-order now and purchase August 5, 2025.

The Middle Place: Where slips are not an opportunity for failure, but instead for continued healing progress and growth.

Mallary vulnerably walks us through her tragically beautiful story beginning with the loss of her Mother at 11 years old, a triggering moment in 7th grade health class and a lifetime's worth dedicating herself to healing and being kind to herself during the "slips".

I've never:

1. Cried so hard in an episode and had to keep my emotions in check

2. Never openly talked about my own journey with binge eating as much as I did today

3. Never have I ever been at a loss of what to say trying to get my words to make sense while simultaneously trying to process Mallary's own intense journey while wanting to talk about a million healing topics and modalities at once.

Just like with gray area drinking, there is the gray area of eating disorders. It's not longer black and white and society may expect you to Be perfect, we don't.

We are perfectly imperfect...all of us navigating our way as spiritual Beings having this human experience.

Listen in as Mallary soothes your soul in reminding you that you are in fact, never alone.
