A turning point in journalist @mallarytenore's eating disorder recovery came when she did some work around restorative narratives—stories that highlight resilience & hope. This helped her begin to reframe her thinking, embrace imperfections, and normalize "slips" in her recovery.
Most people have experienced what @mallarytenore Tarpley calls “the middle place,” even if they never had a name for it. In this episode, Sharlee Dixon talks with Mallary, author of “SLIP: Life in the Middle of Eating Disorder Recovery”. Listen here: https://t.co/fn09ITXoNo

Some personal news.
Today, I’m leaving The Atlantic after almost 17 years and moving my writing to Substack.
It would be convenient, for the purposes of crafting an exciting departure announcement, to have a dramatic exit story: a fight, a grievance, a shouting match with an editor that ended with me hurling a bunch of leather-backed Thoreau volumes across the open-plan office. That is not the case here.
I love The Atlantic, and I'll remain a contributing writer there. But after almost two decades at one publication, I wanted to write for myself. The things I've published that I'm most proud of—whether it was the original abundance agenda essay, or my piece on workism—emerged from a very personal expression of frustration, or confusion, or curiosity. I want to know what my thinking and writing is like if I lean into a more independent and personal writing life.
That's brought me to Substack, which is already home to an astonishing share of my overall reading. I'm excited to join their community and excited to build my own. The name of the newsletter should be easy to remember: Derek Thompson.
The newsletter will have three main pillars
1. Abundance
2. The frontier of science and technology—GLP1s, AI, biotech, energy breakthroughs—covered in a way that’s both curious and skeptical
3. The anti-social century & the social crises of anxiety and aloneness
Thanks to The Atlantic for 16.8 incredible years and thanks to everybody who follows me across the river.
