Project EDF3: Connecting Eating Disorders & Financial $train

In this special episode of Finance Fitness & Finesse, JaeVic shares the results of her year-long research project, "Binging Bankruptcy: Eating Disorders & Financial $train", conducted during her internship at an eating disorder clinic. Focused on the intersection of eating disorders and financial strain, she delves into how financial stress exacerbates conditions like anorexia and binge eating, introducing terms like "financial anorexia" and "money dysmorphia" to capture these complex dynamics. Through clinical observations and supervised research, she explores how financial instability impacts treatment accessibility, fuels harmful behaviors, and shapes recovery outcomes. Join Jae as she unpacks these insights and discusses how behavioral financial literacy can empower holistic wellness and break destructive cycles.
