You are not Broken with Michelle Petties
Episode 141
Wednesday, 25 February, 2026
Real Food Recovery developed from a society wrestling with processed food addiction and the deep ache that comes with feeling trapped in destructive patterns. After decades of obsession, frustration, and starting over more times than can be counted, Paige Alexander holds this space to speak honestly about what it takes to heal. Each episode opens the door to the real, raw, and often messy journey of recovery—offering compassion, lived experience, and the practical tools that helped rebuild a life grounded in peace instead of chaos. Don't miss this opportunity to fall in love with Michelle. Michelle Petties is a TEDx speaker, Food Story coach, and author of the award-winning memoir Leaving Large: The Stories of a Food Addict. She reveals how emotional wounds, cultural expectations, and personal history—not hunger—often shape how we manage food. After battling emotional overeating for over four decades and gaining and losing over 700 pounds, Michelle discovered that the key to lasting weight loss wasn't another diet—it was rewriting the stories behind her eating. Through workshops, retreats, and her ebook Mind Over Meals, she helps others uncover their food truths, rewire their thinking, and create lasting change from the inside out. Links: 1.
