Jais openly shares her story and her struggle with body image and disordered eating since she was young. It was in college that her struggle continued with weight and how she had to meet certain standards and size to pass the physical training test. Julia and Jais discuss body positivity, disordered eating, dieting, and how we are often left with feelings that we relate to being "broken". Both Julia and Jais share their feelings and stories associated with body image and how we tend to run away from our issues only to reunite with them in the future. Awareness is key and taking the first step and continuing on this journey will bring you out of feeling "broken" allowing you to come out of your comfort zone. This will in turn help you apply new skills to combat feelings of unworthiness or shame (to name a few). Education and awareness are key to change, Remember no one is "broken".
