In this episode of Champion Mindset Collective, Anthony Dahya speaks with Mallary Tenore Tarpley, journalism professor and author of the forthcoming memoir Slip: Life in the Middle of Eating Disorder Recovery.Mallary shares her powerful story — from losing her mother to cancer at age 11, to developing anorexia nervosa as a teenager, to spending years caught in cycles of binge eating and restriction.As she explains: “It wasn’t until my late twenties that I began to reframe my thinking: What if slips weren’t failures, but growth opportunities?”This is a conversation about resilience, healing, and what it truly means to live in “the middle” of recovery.✨ Key Episode Highlights & TakeawaysGrief and perfectionism: “When my mother passed away, I thought grief was something you were supposed to get over in a day. So I went to school the very next day and even read her eulogy without crying.”How eating disorders can begin: Mallary recalls trying to “stop time” by staying the same size she was when her mom was alive.The hidden struggles: “For over a decade I was caught in a cycle of binge eating and restricting — all while telling everyone I was fully recovered.”Re-framing recovery: Shifting from shame to growth — “Recovery is a middle place… where slips happen, but progress is always possible.”Hope in imperfection: Why it’s okay to be in process and not at a “perfect” endpoint.Connect with Mallary here: Website: https://tinyurl.com/ycxrwtfjInstagram: https://tinyurl.com/yjx9kh5xLinkedIn: https://tinyurl.com/yybxjjy4Buy the Book - Slip: Life in the Middle of Eating Disorder Recovery: https://tinyurl.com/33cs4337Weekly Newsletter: https://tinyurl.com/4kwxmhzv 📢 Connect with Me! 📒📒 Champion Mindset Collective: 🌐 More from us: ⁠Champion Mindset Collective⁠ Click this link to visit and join the Champion Mindset Collective Facebook group: ⁠ / championmindsetcollectivepodcast ⁠ Click this link to visit and join the Champion Mindset Collective Facebook group:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠ LinkedIn:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonydahya/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/anthonydahyaInstagram: / anthony.dahya⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / @anthonydahya ⁠ Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/7kjTpNO...⁠TikTok: / anthony.dahya AI Workflows Website: https://aiworkflows.agency/AI Workflows Email: [email protected] 💬 Let's Discuss!Leave your thoughts or questions in the comments below.I’d love to hear from you!
