“There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to treating an eating disorder. Every person who walks through our doors brings a different story, different pain, and a different path to healing. What we want families to understand is that early intervention matters, support matters—and recovery is absolutely possible. It’s not just about restoring weight. It’s about restoring identity, voice, and hope.”
— Eating Recovery Center Clinician

In the second half of her deeply personal interview, 17-year-old Lynnie Guerra continues to share her journey through the lens of recovery—what it really looks like to live with, fight through, and slowly heal from an eating disorder that began in childhood. Joined again by her mother, this episode dives into the emotional complexities of treatment, setbacks, and the slow process of rebuilding self-worth.

Together, they reflect on what helped, what hurt, and how their relationship evolved throughout the hardest seasons. Honest, raw, and filled with quiet strength, this episode offers a glimpse into the long road to healing—and the power of not giving up.

This episode serves as a deeply personal look at how eating disorders can take root far earlier than most expect. It also underscores the importance of early intervention, validation, and open dialogue—especially for young children who don’t yet have the words to explain what they’re feeling.

“I started dieting and losing weight and it started escalating from there…”

We know this topic isn’t easy—but it’s necessary. Eating disorders don’t always look like what people expect, and they’re more common than you think. In this episode, we’re not here to offer all the answers—we’re here to open the door. To begin the conversation. To create a safe space for stories, for truth, and for healing. Whether you’ve walked this path or you’re just trying to understand it, you’re in the right place. This is where the silence ends.

One of the biggest challenges people face with time management isn’t just finding the right system—it’s sticking to it. After researching different strategies, I found that the key is customization. What works for one person may not work for another, especially if you're neurodivergent.

For example, time blocking can be a game-changer, but only if it's flexible enough to account for energy fluctuations. I also discovered that the 'two-minute rule'—if something takes less than two minutes, do it immediately—can significantly cut down on procrastination. And let’s not forget the power of external reminders! Whether it’s using alarms, sticky notes, or a digital planner, having visual and auditory cues can make all the difference.

In this episode, we’ll break down these strategies and more, helping you find a method that works for your brain and your lifestyle. Because time management isn’t just about getting more done—it’s about making time for what truly matters.
