Some days, a few kind words can help you come back to yourself.

MEDA’s Inspirational Cards and Stickers were created to reflect the values we hold close: compassion, hope, self-acceptance, and the belief that healing is possible. Whether you’re having a hard day, building new recovery routines, or looking to share a supportive recovery message with a friend or someone you love, these cards can offer gentle encouragement when it’s needed most.

Here are a few ways to use them:
• keep one by your bedside as a morning reminder
• tuck one into a journal or planner
• place one on your mirror, desk, or fridge
• bring one to therapy or a support group
• share one with a friend, family member, or treatment team member

Messages like “Take Up Space,” “My Body Holds My Story,” and “Your Healing is Uniquely Your Own” can serve as small, grounding reminders that your story matters, your body deserves care, and recovery does not have to look like anyone else’s.

Tag someone who needs these reminders and stick these messages where hope belongs. Download them here: https://www.medainc.org/resource/medas-inspirational-cards-and-sticker/

Today on International Women’s Day, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and brilliance of ALL women everywhere - including those who are fighting, healing from, or supporting someone through an eating disorder.

Recovery is an act of courage. It is choosing compassion over criticism, nourishment over deprivation, and hope over shame. Every step toward healing - no matter how small - is a powerful reminder that women deserve care, respect, and the freedom to live fully in their bodies.

To every woman on the path of recovery: you are not alone, and your story matters. Your strength inspires change, challenges stigma, and helps build a world where all women can thrive.

Today, we honor your courage and celebrate healing. 💜
