172. Imposter Syndrome and Eating Disorders

Understanding Disordered Eating: Eating Disorder Recovery and Body Image Healing

If imposter syndrome were a person, most of us would be in a very toxic, on-again-off-again relationship with it. And just like any clingy ex, it loves to show up at the worst possible time—like, say, the first day of a new job, or every single time we try to feel confident about our bodies. Fun, right?

*Quick reminder that next week will be our last episode until September. Stay tuned for the re-release of some oldies but goodies to get you through the summer!

Tweetable Quotes

“By not talking about it, by not owning it, we sort of imply our own shame.” - Rachelle Heinemann

“If we start opening up and at least being open to the fact that other people can help us through some of the imposter syndrome... we at least give ourselves a chance to find some sort of self-acceptance there.” - Rachelle Heinemann

“Ultimately, what we're telling ourselves is ‘I can handle a little bit of human vulnerability’, which is the exact opposite of imposter syndrome.” - Rachelle Heinemann

“Working through imposter syndrome requires a lot of courage and alot of work.” - Rachelle Heinemann
