Welcome to the Recovery Companion Series. 👋

Join Kait and Eric Pothen, eating disorder recovery coach, for a new monthly series designed to help listeners navigate eating disorder recovery feel less alone.

As the new year gets closer, Kait and Eric sit down to talk about how loud diet culture and wellness messaging become this time of year and how hard that can be, especially if you’re in recovery or trying to heal your relationship with food and your body. They reflect on the post-holiday swirl of emotions, the pressure to “start over,” and the impact of the growing conversation around GLP-1 medications. This episode centers recovery over rules, intention over punishment, and reminds listeners that healing is not about becoming someone new. It’s about coming home to yourself. If the new year feels complicated or tender, this conversation offers reassurance that you’re allowed to go slow, change your mind, and take care of yourself exactly as you are.

Episode topics:

• The Impact of Diet Culture and Wellness Messaging (1:53)

• Navigating Recovery Amidst Societal Pressures (10:29)

• Rebelling Against Diet Culture (18:08)

• Setting Intentions for the New Year (24:55)

• Building a Supportive Community (30:59)

• Kait & Eric give their final thoughts & encouragement (39:41)

Series Cohost: Eric Pothen is a Certified Eating Disorder Recovery Coach who guides individuals toward freedom, connection, and self-compassion in their relationships with food and body. His coaching is deeply rooted in his own lived experience with an eating disorder, allowing him to show up for clients with empathy, honesty, and the belief that recovery is possible for everyone. Especially for men and LGBTQ+ folks who rarely see themselves represented in the conversation.

Eric advocates nationally for eating disorder awareness through his roles on the Peer Council for the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) and the Community Advisory Committee for the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD).

He is the founder of Embrace Wear, a mission-driven apparel brand designed to spark conversations and promote self-acceptance, and the host of Embracing You, a podcast that amplifies stories of healing, identity, and self-love.

Eric is currently pursuing his degree in Counseling at St. Mary’s University of Minnesota, working toward becoming an eating disorder therapist for men and members of the LGBTQ+ communities

Each monthly episode offers space to slow down, reflect, and make sense of what’s coming up. Whether that’s resistance, progress, identity shifts, or the parts of recovery that often go unspoken.

The goal? To be a steady, supportive voice in the background. A reminder that you don’t have to do this alone.

Welcome back to the Bite by Bite Podcast. 👋🏼

In this episode, your host, Kait, is joined by eating disorder recovery coach Marta Parada. In the episode, talk about a reality many face in eating disorder recovery: being left without support because they don’t “meet the criteria.” Whether it’s being stuck on a waitlist or told they’re not “sick enough,” so many people are navigating recovery without the care they deserve.

We explore the risks of focusing solely on physical health, especially weight restoration, without addressing emotional and mental readiness. From the nervous system’s role in healing to the importance of holistic support, we unpack why true recovery needs more than just a number on a scale.

Episode topics:

• Marta’s Story (2:31)

• How the search for control and identity fueled Marta’s eating disorder (5:40)

• How traveling gave Marta transformative power (10:25)

• The impact of eating disorder recovery coaching (16:29)

• The gaps that exist in treatment (17:47)

• The importance of real-time support in eating disorder recovery (21:10)

• Our hopes for the future of treatment (23:55)

• Weight isn’t the whole story (28:17)

• Navigating diet culture & the new year (30:28)

Episode Guest: Marta Parada is an Eating Disorder Recovery and Body Image Coach who helps others heal their relationship with food, body, and self. For over 15 years, she battled anorexia and the deep fears and traumas beneath it. Today, Marta is deeply passionate about helping others find life beyond eating disorders - a life filled with joy, freedom, and purpose. I truly believe that with the right support, full recovery is absolutely possible.
