In this episode of the Food Freedom Podcast, Mary explores the connection between fear, food addiction, binge eating, compulsive eating, and eating disorder recovery. If you know what you need to do but fear keeps getting in the way, this conversation will help you look at what may really be holding you back and what it takes to keep moving forward in recovery.
