In this episode, we are joined by Jenni-Lee Keez, a survivor of anorexia nervosa and various associated mental health challenges, who has transformed her experiences into a mission of empowerment and healing. As a reality therapy certified counsellor, speaker, and teacher, Jenni-Lee shares powerful insights in her memoir, Anorexia Unlocked: Understanding Your Story Through Mine. Her journey began with traumatic experiences at age two, eventually leading to an eating disorder at 15. Despite achieving academic and athletic success, her struggles intensified, resulting in an anorexia diagnosis at 24, followed by OCD, chronic fatigue, and anxiety.
Through intensive therapy, Jenni-Lee began uncovering and healing from her past trauma. Today, she advocates for the vital role of lived experience in mental health treatment, offering various books, programs, and speaking engagements to support others on their recovery journeys. Her work particularly focuses on early intervention, trauma-informed care, and building supportive communities for those affected by eating disorders and mental health challenges.
