Tools, Triggers & Body Image with with Mia Findlay
In this episode, we’re joined by the brilliant Mia Findlay, founder of Beyond Body Coaching and the What Mia Did Next YouTube channel (@whatmiadidnext). Mia is an eating disorder recovery coach, speaker, and advocate who helped train both of us in our own coaching practice.
Together, we dig into some of the most common challenges in recovery – from body image and boundaries to fear foods and calorie counting. Mia also shares how her experience of living with endometriosis has influenced her recovery journey and the compassion she brings to her coaching work — be that navigating triggers, trying to separate physical health needs from disordered thoughts, or building a unique recovery toolkit.
Topics covered:
* Managing body image in recovery and beyond
* The intersection of chronic illness and EDs
* Adapting advice to your individual needs
* Moving away from calorie counting
* Tools for challenging fear foods (and urges to compensate)
* Dialoguing: what it is and when to use it
* Creating healthy boundaries
* Coaching support and how to connect with Mia
