You can look like you have it all together… and still be starving inside.

In this raw, deeply honest conversation, I’m joined by Real Housewives of New Jersey star, former attorney, and author Jackie Goldschneider—who opens up about her 20-year battle with anorexia and what it really took to heal.

We talk about the hidden layers of disordered eating, the illusion of control, and how shame keeps so many women trapped in silence.

Jackie shares how her relationship with food—and with herself—became a secret prison, how recovery cracked her open, and why she’s now using her story to set others free.

We also dive into motherhood: how to raise kids who feel safe in their bodies, how to model self-acceptance in a culture obsessed with thinness, and what to stop saying about food and weight—especially in front of our daughters

If you’ve ever felt trapped in a cycle of food, shame, and control—or you’re raising kids in a culture obsessed with body image—this episode is for you.

Things You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• What recovery from an eating disorder really looks like (and how to know when you're ready)
• How to talk to your kids about food, weight, and body image without passing on shame
• How healing your relationship with your body transforms everything

🎧 If you've ever struggled with body image, disordered eating, control, or the pressure to look “perfect,” this episode will feel like someone finally said the quiet part out loud.

High-functioning anxiety looks like you're killing it.

You’re answering the texts, running the meetings, managing all the moving pieces, smiling and saying “I’m good”...

...all the while your nervous system is stuck in overdrive.

It doesn’t “look” like anxiety. But it might feel like:

• Overthinking every decision
• Trouble sleeping, even when you’re dead tired
• Always rushing, never resting
• Tight jaw, tense shoulders, shallow breath

Here’s what no one tells you 👇

The very habits that helped you survive are now the ones keeping you stuck.

• Stuck in performance.
• Stuck in perfectionism.
• Stuck in people-pleasing.
• Stuck in your head—disconnected from your body.

But you can rewire this.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down 3 common mistakes that make high-functioning anxiety worse—and how to shift out of survival mode and into true peace.

We’re diving into:

• ✔️ Why stillness feels so hard (and how to make it safer for your nervous system)
• ✔️ The difference between empathy and emotional enmeshment (and how to stop absorbing everyone else’s energy)
• ✔️ Why always being “the strong one” is costing you more than you think

If you’re done pretending you're fine and ready to actually feel better in your body, this one’s for you.
