349 - The Weight of Beautiful: RHONJ’s Jackie Goldschneider on Healing Anorexia, Body Image, and Turning Pain into Purpose


Listen Later

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.
