Key Discussion Points:
- Jade's eating disorder began as a way to cope with emotions and avoid discomfort during her difficult pre-teen years (00:09:07). She internalized emotions and made food her control mechanism rather than asking for help.
- Shame and stigma prevented Jade from vocalizing her struggles for many years. She highlights the importance of open conversations around disordered eating and mental health (00:07:15).
- Jade reflects on the role parents can play in emotional education for children. Modeling vulnerability and asking deeper questions can encourage kids to share rather than internalize problems (00:25:11).
- Jade's turning point came when she took ownership of her eating disorder, admitting she needed help and actively wanting to recover (00:30:33).
- Her recovery involved relearning how to feel and regulate emotions, a difficult process of breakdown before breakthrough (00:36:58).
- Now recovered, Jade manages residual behaviors through self-awareness, balanced eating, and movement for mental health (00:43:26).
Key Quotes:
"The more that you understand or the more that you break down those individual emotions, the more you're able to cope with them." (00:25:55)
"All I had to do was say it out loud." (00:51:14)
