Leaving the Bubble

In this second episode, Jules and Cécile dive deeper into how competitive sport shaped Jules's relationship with food, from the food rules that quietly built up over years to the moment she realized she couldn't get out of it alone, and the years of therapy and recovery that followed. Cécile shares what she's witnessed across her own career in elite sport, from the extreme weight-cutting rituals she saw at the Olympics to a childhood friend who had to log every calorie for gymnastics. They talk about team dynamics in sport, the difference between emotional eating and intuitive eating, and why opening up to a teammate can sometimes do more than any therapist. This one went somewhere they didn't plan. They don't share their questions with each other beforehand, so neither of them knew how deep this would go. Be nice is bigger than their own story or their hockey background. Episode three brings their first guest, and from episode four, they go beyond sport because eating disorders show up across pretty much every part of society. Stay tuned, this is just the beginning! ⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING This episode contains personal experiences around eating disorders, body image, and the relationship with food in elite sport.
