What people are saying

“I think the main highlight for me was that your approach in the guide was a perfect 50/50 balance between expert, descriptive knowledge/science and subjective/emotional details and perceptions. Analysing and understanding both about oneself and others (and society, to an extent, I guess) all matter for recovery, yet very few resources openly include both kinds of knowledge, which makes this guide one of its kind.”

“Julia’s guide felt like a safe, cozy container, guiding you through the chapters. Even though the content touches on sensitive topics, it still never felt too harsh or sciencey, but always comforting. You could feel the work, heart and thought put into each page.”

— 1st BETA round reviewer

“ Julia's work, not only helped me heal and reflect on my wounds related to EDs, but also helped me become more compassionate with myself and others... I loved the possibility this guide offers to discover and explore different aspects of ourselves through readings, but especially a wide variety of practices. It was also an incredible pleasure to meet Julia, and her ability to give care and love, which she conveyed even through words."

— 2nd BETA round reviewer

“A thoughtful and compassionate guide that encourages self-reflection without judgment. I especially loved the research behind this guide and how it translated complex areas of psychology into an approachable and digestible format. It helped me see shame from a different perspective: less as a personal flaw and more as a shared human experience. I would recommend it to anyone looking to better understand themselves and approach their inner world with more compassion.”

— 2nd BETA round reviewer

“The guide felt very easy and safe to follow along - quite literally as if the PDF extended its hand to grab mine and take me along the content. The familiar, compassionate yet very knowledgeable tone is well suited to the complex topics covered in the guide. I feel like it was written with a profound understanding that the journey the reader is on is not easy, and that alone makes it a really nice tool.”

— 1st BETA round reviewer

“I would recommend this guide to anyone who is in recovery from an ED/body-image disorder - and, to be fair, to anyone aware that they are struggling with self-love and self-acceptance ... I would recommend the guide to people who may not feel fully recovered, albeit on the upward-sloping side of it - excluding any serious ED-related medical issues of course - as there is a lot to learn from this guide, and it feels very safe to explore its content.”

A genuinely valuable guide for understanding yourself and your relationship with food

I honestly don't think I've ever read a guide that felt so much like having an older sister walk me through something she's already been through herself. The structure is incredibly well thought out, and I always felt like I was being gently guided from one topic to the next rather than simply reading a collection of information.

What I particularly appreciated is how deeply the guide goes into the underlying beliefs and experiences that can shape our relationship with food, exercise, our bodies, and wellbeing. It touches on many of the themes you might explore in therapy with someone experienced in eating disorders, childhood trauma, and related areas, but presents them in a way that made me reflect on my own life and actually recognise patterns in myself.

For me, this was especially valuable because I tend to have a very strong need for control, including around my environment, calories, and exercise. I can also be very hard on myself: even when I'm doing things "right", I often feel like I should be doing more. Whenever I reach a milestone, I tend to immediately move the goalpost instead of allowing myself to appreciate what I've achieved.

The guide helped me recognise these patterns and, perhaps more importantly, start questioning where they come from. It has made me more aware of the difference between doing something consciously because it genuinely helps me and doing something because an old pattern, belief, or trauma is driving me.

I know I'll come back to this guide many times. There are sections I already know I'll want to reread when I need to remind myself of something or when I notice an old pattern coming back. For me, it has become much more than something I simply read and finished. It's a tool I genuinely want to integrate into my everyday life.

Thank you, Julia, for putting so much thought and care into this. ❤️
