Binge Eating, Boundaries, and Book Clubs: A Heartfelt Chat on First Day Pod
It's important not to label yourself, and I think that distinction matters. And when it comes to food, maybe we should look at it as like: oh, food is an issue, but it doesn't define me, I don't know. I know that food is the biggest problem in my life.
Leigh Ann and Michael Govier are back with a heartfelt episode of First Day Pod, marking their 30th milestone. This time, they tackle some deeply personal topics that many can relate to. Mike starts off by paying tribute to a friend, setting a reflective tone for the episode. Then, things take a lighter turn with the introduction of their special guest, Yoshi The Dog, who brings some joy and warmth to the conversation.
But it’s not all light-hearted banter; the hosts dive into the heavy topic of binge eating and the unhealthy relationship many have with food. Leigh Ann and Mike open up about their own struggles, making it clear that this is a safe space for honest discussions. They also highlight the upcoming Freep Marathon and how events like these can be motivating milestones in one's personal journey.
Another significant part of the episode is dedicated to the First Day Pod Book Club, where they discuss Eckhart Tolle's 'A New Earth'.
