In this week’s episode, Han is joined by Jade Grantham. Jade is the author of“Accept 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.
