Avery Hollins delivers a powerful, intimate, and unflinchingly honest portrait of binge eating, body shame, emotional hunger, and the long road to recovery.

Confessions of a Binge Eater follows Ellie from her childhood in a small Midwestern town—where silence, judgment, and “being careful with food” shaped her earliest memories—into an adolescence marked by late-night rituals, hidden wrappers, calorie counting, and the secret comfort of binge eating. As she grows older, the pressures of diet culture, social media, and family expectations tighten their grip, pushing her deeper into a cycle she cannot escape.

Desperate for change, Ellie moves to Miami, where the city’s vibrant chaos exposes her pain but also opens the door to healing. There she meets Rosa—a former tarot addict turned spiritual mentor—whose tough, loving guidance helps Ellie explore the emotional roots of her disorder. With therapy, community support, mindful eating, and the courage to face old wounds, Ellie slowly begins transforming her relationship with food, her body, and herself.

This deeply human memoir explores trauma, generational patterns, addiction, recovery, identity, and the hidden hungers that shape so many women's lives. Through heartbreak, relapse, resilience, and rebirth, Ellie learns that healing is not a straight line—it's a journey of compassion, embodiment, and choosing again every single day.

Tender, cinematic, and profoundly relatable, this audiobook is a companion for anyone who has ever struggled in secret, carried shame in silence, or searched for a life where nourishment finally feels like love.
