In this episode of Sharing Without Shame, Donna Marston welcomes author and journalist Mallary Tenore Tarpley to talk about her ongoing recovery journey from an eating disorder.

Mallory shares how her disorder began after the loss of her mother, how shame kept her silent, and how she now embraces the "middle place"—a space between illness and full recovery that so many experience but few talk about.

Topics We Cover:

- What recovery really looks like (not always a finish line)

- Slips vs. relapses: learning to shift perspective

- The importance of language, honesty, and support

- How parents can approach conversations without blame

- Small, powerful ways to celebrate progress

Mallory’s new book Slip releases August 5 and explores the complexity of healing with empathy, truth, and grace.
