  • 72. The "Middle Place" of Recovery: Embracing Progress Over Perfection with Mallary Tenore Tarpley
    Aug 7 2025

    What if recovery isn’t about being perfectly healed, but about learning to live – and grow – in the messy, in-between spaces? In this heartfelt episode, accomplished journalist and author Mallary Tenore Tarpley shares the wisdom of “The Middle Place”, a compassionate framework for understanding eating disorder recovery as an imperfect and ongoing process. Drawing from her memoir SLIP: Life in the Middle of Eating Disorder Recovery, Mallary takes us through her recovery from childhood to motherhood, offering vulnerable reflections on grief, perfectionism, relapse, and self-discovery. Her honesty helps reduce shame and reminds us that healing isn’t linear. With warmth and insight, Mallary invites us to see recovery not as a destination, but as a daily act of showing up.
