Episode We Weren’t Okay: Addiction, Bulimia and Coming Back

0:00 1:09:35

Kate and Claudia are back for Season 5, starting with an honest catch-up about where life has really taken them.

Kate opens up about recognising that her mental health had slipped, coming close to relapse, and making the decision to ask for help and return to rehab — despite still being clean and sober. She reflects on grief, motherhood, recovery, and what it looks like to ask for support before things completely fall apart.

Claudia shares her experience of her eating disorder resurfacing, losing herself in unhealthy relationship patterns, learning to be alone, and slowly discovering a different understanding of love, faith and self-worth.

An open conversation about vulnerability, recovery, mental health, and starting again.

Content note: This episode contains lived-experience discussion of addiction, relapse risk, rehabilitation, grief, eating disorders, purging, compulsive exercise, relationships, and mental health struggles.

Season 5 is presented by Aurora Healthcare. https://aurorahealth.com.au
