In this episode of Wellness Junkies, Amy is joined by Jackie Goldschneider—author, advocate, speaker, and longtime cast member of Real Housewives of New Jersey—for an honest, important conversation about eating disorder recovery and healing.

Jackie opens up about living with an eating disorder for nearly two decades, the moment she decided to seek help, and what recovery actually looked like. She breaks down one of the biggest misconceptions: eating disorders aren’t about food - they’re mental illnesses that require specialized support.

They also discuss:

  • How eating disorders quietly control daily life
  • What parents and loved ones should look for
  • How to approach someone struggling with compassion
  • Ozempic culture and today’s thinness messaging
  • Life behind the scenes of Real Housewives of New Jersey
  • Jackie’s current wellness anchors and daily rituals


This is a thoughtful, grounding conversation for anyone navigating food, body image, mental health - or supporting someone they love.
