Recovering from an eating disorder without a support system is one of the hardest paths there is—and yet, many people are doing exactly that.

This presentation breaks down how recovery can still happen when no one is watching, cheering, or holding you accountable. Not through motivation or positivity—but through structure, honesty, and self-leadership.

In this video, I walk through:

Why recovery without support feels uniquely difficult

The five non-negotiable strategies that sustain independent recovery

How to replace external accountability with structure

How to separate your eating disorder voice from your adult voice

How to catch self-deception without shame

What to do when you skip, delay, or criticize yourself

Why perfection is not the goal—but follow-through is

This is not a motivational talk.
It’s a realistic framework for staying in recovery when you’re doing this on your own.

Whether you’re:

Recovering independently by circumstance

Between levels of care

Feeling isolated or unsupported

Trying to maintain recovery without constant oversight

…this conversation is for you.

Recovery doesn’t require an audience.
It requires consistency.
