Hurt to Healing

• Emma Healey on Exercise Addiction, Control, and Healing Your Relationship with Your Body

  In this episode of Hurt to Healing, Pandora sits down with Emma Healey, acclaimed author and journalist, to explore the complex relationship between exercise, body image, and control. Emma shares her deeply personal experience with exercise addiction, discussing how what started as a routine for health and fitness slowly became an all-consuming compulsion. She opens up about the psychological and physical toll it took on her body, relationships, and sense of self, as well as the difficult journey toward finding balance. Together, they examine the fine line between dedication and obsession, and how societal messages about fitness and achievement can fuel unhealthy behaviours.Emma also discusses her latest novel, Sweat, which delves into power dynamics in relationships, control, and the pressures placed on women’s bodies. She and Pandora explore the parallels between disordered exercise habits and coercive relationships, how toxic fitness culture can be a form of self-punishment, and the importance of listening to your body with kindness. If you’ve ever struggled with your relationship with exercise, body image, or the pressure to always do more, this conversation is a must-listen.Buy Sweat: https://amzn.eu/d/faaAWg0Emma's Website: https://www.emmahealey.co.uk/Stay Connected with Hurt to Healing:Instagram: instagram.com/hurttohealingpodTikTok: tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpodLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/hurt-to-healingSubstack: substack.com/@hurttohealingWebsite: hurttohealing.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

• Pandora's Box: Family, Friction & Finding My Way Back

  In this solo episode, I open up about something deeply personal—my relationship with my brother, and the wider dynamics within my family. For a long time, I found certain behaviours hard to understand or accept, but recently, I’ve started to view them through a different lens.I share how gaining perspective on my own coping mechanisms—and recognising where they come from—has helped me see my family’s responses in a new light. I talk about how we all carry our own childhood experiences into adulthood, often unconsciously, and how that shapes the way we love, communicate, and sometimes clash.This episode is also about embracing who you are, unapologetically. I talk about learning to accept my own quirks and how that self-acceptance has quietly transformed my relationships—especially with my brother. It hasn’t been a dramatic overnight shift, but a gradual, very real one.Stay Connected with Hurt to Healing:Instagram: instagram.com/hurttohealingpodTikTok: tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpodLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/hurt-to-healingSubstack: substack.com/@hurttohealingWebsite: hurttohealing.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

• Pandora's Box: The Art of Slowing Down

  In this solo episode, I open up about what it really feels like to slow down - not by choice, but by necessity - and how it's been forcing me to confront old fears, routines, and the way I measure my worth. I share how an injury has made me rethink productivity, presence, and the masks we wear to seem like we're doing fine when we're not. It's a vulnerable one, but I hope it reminds you that wherever you are right now is exactly where you're meant to be.I also talk about learning to trust myself again, the beauty in spontaneity, and how we can all rewrite our stories no matter what stage of life we're in. From dealing with anxiety to finding comfort in simple rituals, this episode is a gentle reminder that change is possible, slowing down is powerful, and your energy - and your story - are entirely yours to reclaim.Stay Connected with Hurt to Healing:Instagram: instagram.com/hurttohealingpodTikTok: tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpodLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/hurt-to-healingSubstack: substack.com/@hurttohealingWebsite: hurttohealing.co.uk Hosted on Acast.
