Thank you so much for tuning into season 2 of Journey With Jess! In this final episode of the season I sit down with Ashley Arter. While not a mental professional, Ashley has an immense amount of knowledge regarding mental health and in particular, eating disorders. Having dealt with anxiety, depression, PTSD, undiagnosed ADHD, as well as disordered eating, Ashley has come on to share important insights with me and with all of you.

Some of the topics we dive into are:

• Beauty standards and their effects on our perception of ourselves
• The different types of eating disorders
• Her personal eating disorder journey
• Eating disorders as a means of control
• The obsession with “healthy”
• Why getting an official diagnosis can be a battle
• And why checking in with yourself is so important
  

This interview is extremely honest, raw, and I think, helpful to anyone who has or still is struggling with body image, confidence, or an eating disorder.

Hi! Welcome to another episode of Journey With Jess. This week I'm chatting with my sorority sister, Jeniadys Lyn-Shue aka Jeni.

This was one of the best podcast episodes I've ever done, if I may say so myself. We covered a ton of different topics, including body image, the history of the quinceañera, wedding expenses, creating your own traditions, and healing through mothering.

What is the American Dream, what does this concept mean to us, and do we both think that we achieved it? Keep listening/watching to find out!
