About this listen

If your teenager has an eating disorder and you don't know whether you're helping or making it worse, this channel is for you.


Eating Disorders Unfiltered is a weekly show for parents trying to understand what's actually happening beneath their child's eating disorder, and what to do with that understanding at home. New episode every week.


Maybe you're already in treatment with a therapist and a dietitian. Maybe you're earlier than that, noticing changes around food, control, mood, or weight that don't quite add up, quietly wondering if this is something. Whether it's anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, or disordered eating that doesn't have a clean label yet, you're likely carrying a lot of fear and not a lot of clarity. That's normal here. It's exactly what this show is built for.


Hosted by Candace David, a mental health therapist and Certified Eating Disorders Specialist Consultant with over a decade of experience, every episode translates complex clinical dynamics into plain language you can actually use at home. No shame, no blame, no hype. Just steady, honest education about eating disorders, recovery, parenting through it, and the family system underneath it all.


Here's the monthly rhythm so you know what you're subscribing to:

Professional Conversations: candid interviews with eating disorder professionals and adjacent experts, so you get perspective beyond the treatment room.

Office Hours: real questions from real parents, answered directly and practically. This is where the day-to-day "what do I actually do" lives.

Executive Functioning and Overwhelm: one episode a month on planning, mental load, and managing overwhelm, because recovery asks a lot of the whole family, not just the child.


You did not cause this, and you are not a bystander in your child's recovery. You are one of the most important parts of it. The goal of this channel is simple: to help you become the steady, equipped parent your child needs, without the shame and confusion that usually comes with it.


New here? Start with any episode that names what you're going through right now. You don't have to watch in order.


If you want to go deeper than a weekly show can go, the Between Sessions membership offers structured skills training and ongoing support for parents doing this work. Come watch first. The door is open when you're ready.

  • When Summer Slips By Before It Even Starts: The Summer Anchor Do-Over

    When Summer Slips By Before It Even Starts: The Summer Anchor Do-Over
    May 26 2026

    If you’ve ever entered summer hoping it would feel slower, lighter, or more present… only to realize a few weeks later that you’re already overwhelmed again, this episode is for you.

    Candace unpacks the specific moment many busy brains hit in early summer: when the school-year chaos ends, everyone exhales for a second, and then summer logistics immediately take over. Camps. Schedules. Work. Projects. Family expectations. Suddenly the season you imagined starts slipping away before it even begins.

    In this episode, Candace explains why the “feeling” you had about summer isn’t enough to guide your decisions, why busy seasons default to whatever already has momentum, and why so many women end up feeling disconnected from the summer they actually wanted.

    You’ll also hear this week’s Do-Over, a simple reset to help you create a summer that feels more intentional — even if life stays busy.

  • When You Showed Up to Work But Your Brain Didn't: The Brain Dump Do-Over

    When You Showed Up to Work But Your Brain Didn't: The Brain Dump Do-Over
    May 19 2026

    030 If you’ve ever sat down to work, spent hours trying, and still walked away feeling like you got almost nothing done… this episode is for you.

    Candace shares a real-life moment of trying to work on a course module while interruptions, unfinished tasks, and mental tabs quietly piled up in the background. The problem wasn’t distraction. It was that her brain never fully arrived at the task in the first place.

    In this episode, Candace unpacks the difference between being distracted and being mentally held back, why unfinished tasks keep pulling at your attention, and why “just focus” doesn’t work when your brain is still carrying the rest of the morning.

    You’ll also hear this week’s Do-Over, a simple reset designed to help your brain stop holding everything at once so you can actually transition into the work in front of you.

  • When the End of the Year Feels Like Too Much

    When the End of the Year Feels Like Too Much
    May 13 2026

    029 If you’ve ever felt like late April and May quietly become survival mode, this episode is for you.

    Candace sits down with Joanna for an honest conversation about the stretch of the year when everything starts stacking at once. School events. Emails. Teacher gifts. Summer planning. Work deadlines. Emotional kids. And the invisible mental load moms are usually carrying underneath all of it.

    Together, they talk about the moments where it really hit them, the pressure to keep everything moving, and what happens when the season starts feeling heavier than anyone around you seems to notice.

    This conversation is not about fixing May.
    It’s about finally naming why it feels so hard.

    If you’ve been feeling behind, stretched thin, or like you’re barely holding the moving pieces together, this episode will make you feel less alone.
