Description

Sexual Health Educator and Podcast Host Eileen Kelly is no stranger to sharing it all with the internet - so much so that The New York Times even dubbed her the “Millennial Dr. Ruth.” This week, Jade and Eileen talk about what it was like growing up on social media as a sex-positive influencer… and why Eileen chose to hand over her phone and go dark on the internet for five months, bravely deciding to undergo in-patient treatment for her mental health.  She re-entered the world just as it was shutting down amidst the global pandemic. Eileen tells us about life in treatment, what it took to make the hard decisions, and how she learned to accept mental illness as a part of her identity. You can find Eileen on her podcast Going Mental with Eileen Kelly, @eileen on instagram, or her website killerandasweetthang.com.For more podcast info and pictures of Jade’s pug Taco, follow Jade on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jadeiovine/Executive Producer Nick StumpfProduced by Catherine LawEdited and Engineered by Brandon Dickert Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tell Me About It is the podcast manifestation of all the “off-the-record” conversations we’ve had with other women about things we’re taught to stay silent about -- from stumbling through our twenties, rejections, heartbreaks, fertility struggles, mental health challenges, mistakes, and the cringey shame spirals that keep us up at night. Host Jade Iovine and her guests challenge the idea of social media perfected lives and get very real about all the less-than-perfect and inevitable shitty moments we all go through. Tell Me About It is here to remind us that we’re not alone… and that the women we constantly compare ourselves to ALSO have lives that are far from perfect.
