Christmas Recovery Strategies and Self-Compassion with Juniver Founder, Emilie Faure

In this week's episode, Han is joined by Emilie Faure. Emilie is the founder and CEO of Juniver, an award-winning health company that’s transforming the way we approach eating disorders. Juniver is the first digital therapeutic of its kind, providing on-demand 24/7 support through an app including a personalised, AI-powered recovery coach.

Juniver’s mission to improve access to effective help for people with eating disorders, is deeply personal to Emilie, born from her own recovery journey, which highlighted the gaps in traditional care.

Before founding Juniver, Emilie’s career spanned sales strategy and partnerships at organisations like White Cube gallery and Sotheby’s; she brings a wealth of experience scaling teams and leading with empathy.

This week, we discuss:

  • Emilie's inspiration for starting Juniver and the services Juniver provides to people struggling with eating disorders and disordered eating.
  • The technology behind the digital therapy solution, Juniver.
  • The two pillars of recovery: managing an urge differently and eating enough for your bodies needs.
  • Navigating urges when you're alone and how Juniver supports this in an unbias way.
  • The keys to habit formation in recovery: start small, build on what you're doing already, experiment and tweak, celebrate success.
  • Tips for navigating the festive season during eating disorder recovery including boundaries, planning and meeting yourself with compassion.
