Description

In today’s episode, I’m joined by the wonderful Jackie — a trauma-informed therapist and eating disorder recovery specialist who’s also walked her own path of recovery. We dive into how trauma, bullying, and early childhood experiences can shape the way we relate to food, our bodies, and ourselves. Jackie brings such a grounded mix of professional insight and lived experience, and she explains in such a compassionate way how these early wounds can stay alive in our patterns around eating.

We talk about what healing actually looks like, why compassion is so central, and how trauma-informed support can help you reconnect with trust, safety, and your true self. Whether your past feels “big” or “small,” this conversation will help you make sense of why your eating disorder developed and how you can move forward with more understanding and hope.
