It’s been a minute and I’ve missed it here!! Life has been full lately (read: never being home for more than 2 weeks at a time..) but recovery is showing up in every corner of my days from little moments like making meals at home to bigger shifts in how I see my body, this season has been meaningful to me and I hope the same for you.

If you’ve been following along, you know each month this year we’ve been setting an intentional recovery goal. And this month we're pausing. June is a reflection month. No new goal, just space to look back and ask: What’s working? What’s not? What do I want to carry forward?

In today’s episode, I’m walking you through what recovery has looked like for me lately. The highs, the lows, the routines that are helping, and the shifts I didn’t expect. Let’s check in, reflect, and get grounded together.

May’s recovery goal is to create a simple, supportive morning routine, because the way we begin our day can shape everything that follows. In this solo episode, Amy shares why morning routines are one of her favorite tools for eating disorder recovery and how you can build one that actually sticks — without stress or perfectionism.

We discuss:

• Why mornings are a powerful time for brain and habit change
• The science behind how routines impact cortisol, anxiety, and mood
• Why chaos fuels eating disorders and how routines bring safety
• Recovery-friendly ideas for grounding your mornings (no 5 a.m. bootcamps here unless you really want to)
• Tips to start small and make your routine sustainable
• How a gentle rhythm can rebuild trust with your body and mind

Whether you're brand new to recovery or looking to deepen your healing, this episode will leave you inspired to start your day with more intention, peace, and self-compassion.
