Accept You Are Imperfect: Raising Awareness of Bulimia with Jade Grantham


Listen Later

In this week’s episode, Han is joined by Jade Grantham. Jade is the author ofAccept That You Are Imperfect”, a book about her personal journey and recovery with bulimia nervosa which started when she was 12 years old. Jade wrote her book not as one person’s struggle or self-help book, but a call for awareness, understanding, and early intervention, preventing the silent epidemic that is bulimia.”

This week, we discuss:

  • The need for Jade's book about bulimia resulting from the stereotypes and stigmas associated with bulimia.
  • The role that bulimia played in Jade's life and how it moved from a weight-driven behaviour to an unavoidable ritual.
  • The personality traits Jade believes made her susceptible to bulimia to feel accepted.
  • The secrecy associated with bulimic behaviours and why Jade didn't want to tell anyone about her eating disorder.
  • How Jade imagines recovery and her hopes for the future.

You can find out more about Jade and her book, Accept That You Are Imperfect by connecting with her on LinkedIn or following her on Instagram (@jadegrantham1).

Kindly note, that this episode delves into sensitive eating disorder topics, including bulimia and associated behaviours. Remember to take care of yourself while listening, and always seek professional help if needed. This podcast is your bridge to insightful discussions, not a substitute for clinical guidance.
