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.  Additional Resources: Project Heal: https://www.theprojectheal.org/ [https://www.theprojectheal.org/] Eating Disorder Hope: https://www.eatingdisorderhope.com/ ***** My goal is to educate, uplift, share inspiring stories, and show people who want to build and live their best, most fulfilling life that with a bit of support, accountability, and positivity, anything is possible!

Check out part 1 if you haven't already: https://youtu.be/XukbMe1Q5y0 I’m glad to have had a chance to have an open, intimate conversation with my sorority sister and close friend, Karen Barahona. Karen’s parents had her when they were teenagers which in turn shaped Karen’s childhood and teenage years. Karen opens up about having to take on adult responsibilities from a young age, eventually standing up for herself, and how moving out of her home at the age of nineteen ended up improving her relationship with her family. She talks about witnessing and experiencing abuse within romantic relationships, her anxiety diagnosis, unhealthy coping methods, and how she’s learning to manage her symptoms now.
