🚨 WHAT IF the voice telling you "you're not recovered enough" is actually the biggest lie keeping you stuck?

Meet Mallary Tenore Tarpley, journalism professor and author of the groundbreaking book "SLIP" - who just shattered the recovery world with one explosive discovery. After surveying over 700 people across 44 states and 37 countries, she found that 85% of people with eating disorders live in what she calls "the middle place" - a space the recovery industry has been completely ignoring.

Her revolutionary research reveals why the "full recovery or failure" mindset keeps people trapped in shame cycles, and introduces the life-changing "middle place" framework that validates the REAL recovery experience most of us actually live.

🔥 KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Why 85% of people live in the "middle place" (and why that's completely okay)
• How childhood trauma and perfectionism fuel eating disorder development
• The revolutionary framework that reframes slips as growth opportunities instead of failures
• Why diet culture creates "normative discontent" in 90% of people
• What "more recovery" looks like when full recovery feels impossible
• How to support loved ones without toxic positivity
• Evidence-based approaches to healing food relationships while processing trauma

Mallary's personal journey began at age 12 when anorexia entered her life less than a year after losing her mother to cancer. After 17 months in residential treatment and five hospitalizations, she discovered that traditional recovery narratives were failing millions of people living in the gray space between sickness and "perfect" recovery.

This isn't just another recovery story - it's a data-driven investigation that gives permission to be human in your healing journey. Whether you're struggling with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, food addiction, or any addiction, this conversation offers a roadmap to freedom from perfectionist recovery expectations.
