    The Language of Eating Disorders: Metaphor, Meaning & Recovery with Dr. Anita Johnston

    What if disordered eating is more than a behavior? What if symptoms are actually stories in disguise and learning to listen to them could change everything? In this thought-provoking conversation, depth psychologist and Eating in the Light of the Moon author Dr. Anita Johnston explores the deeper meaning behind eating disorders, emotional sensitivity, and the journey toward authentic self-discovery. Through powerful metaphors and insights grounded in both psychology and neuroscience, Dr. Johnston explains why eating disorders often develop as protective coping mechanisms—and why recovery is not about becoming someone new, but reconnecting with who you truly are. Together, Dr. Johnston and host Ellie Pike discuss the tension between belonging and authenticity, the importance of emotional literacy and assertive communication, and how learning to listen to our symptoms with curiosity and compassion can help guide the path toward healing.

    The Diagnosis That Finally Made Everything Make Sense: ADHD, Anxiety, and an Eating Disorder with Jay Salazar

    Middle school teacher and content creator Jay Salazar joins for a candid conversation about living with ADHD, anxiety, and eating disorders — and what changed after receiving a late ADHD diagnosis in adulthood. Jay opens up about growing up with rigid, all-or-nothing thinking, relying on spite as motivation, and struggling silently with disordered eating, body image, and overstimulation. Together, they explore the connection between ADHD and emotional regulation, how therapy became a turning point in his recovery, and why vulnerability matters — especially for men and Latino communities where mental health stigma can run deep. Jay also shares practical strategies for working with a neurodivergent brain, creating supportive classroom culture, and embracing the idea that growth is never linear.

    You Don't Need 10,000 Steps: The Truth About Exercise and Mental Health with Adee Levinstein

    Is exercise really as good as antidepressants—or is that headline missing the bigger picture? In this episode of Mental Note, we sit down with registered dietitian and eating disorder specialist Adee Levinstein to unpack the complex relationship between exercise and mental health. Together, we explore why one-size-fits-all fitness advice—like the 10,000 steps myth—often falls short, how diet culture shapes our beliefs about movement, and when exercise can actually become harmful. This conversation offers an alternative to rigidity and shame-based workout motivation by reframing exercise through the lens of "health-promoting behaviors." What truly supports our health? From joyful movement and nervous system regulation to the often-overlooked importance of rest, we consider a more flexible, compassionate approach. If you've ever wondered whether your relationship with exercise is actually supporting your wellbeing, this episode invites you to rethink what healthy movement really means.

    Eating Disorders as Responses to Disordered Systems: How Sophie Szew Harnesses Creativity to Imagine a World Without Eating Disorders

    Say It Brave On Campus, Episode 3 What if eating disorders aren't simply individual illnesses, but rational responses to disordered systems? In the third and final episode of our college-focused miniseries, Shannon Kopp speaks with Sophie Szew - mental health justice advocate, master's student at the Stanford Graduate School of Education, and Forbes' 30 under 30 honoree - about how her lived experience opens up a broader conversation concerning schools, healthcare, and the societal forces that shape student mental health. Sophie reveals her early experiences with learning differences and disordered eating, and how attempts to "fix" these issues hurled her into educational and medical systems that often stratify and harm young people. She masterfully flips the script by reframing eating disorders as responses to disordered societies rather than individual pathologies — challenging us to tap into our own creativity and imagine what it means to build systems that allow all of us to live more vibrant lives.
