Ruthie Friedlander on Eating Disorders, Friendship Breakups, and Pausing Your Life to Heal

This week, Jade speaks to Ruthie Friedlander (@ruthiefrieds) about her past lives in the fashion industry (she held positions at Chanel, The Row, Elle.com, and InStyle), the world of mean girls and bad boyfriends (something like that), Ruthie's struggle with an eating disorder and the details of her recovery. Jade and Ruthie discuss struggling with shame, addiction, friendship breakups, and asking for help through all of it. Having gone through adversity in her 20's, Ruthie decided to go on to co-found The Chain, a peer support group for women struggling with eating disorders and create At Large Agency, an editorial consulting agency that works with brands across fashion and lifestyle.

The existential dread is real. The mishaps? Never funnier. And the social anxiety? Cranked to eleven. LIVE FROM BED with Jade Iovine is your weekly permission slip to spiral out loud—a show that celebrates our worst traits, bad habits, and internal monologues that would make our therapists nervous. Each week, host Jade Iovine dives into no-holds-barred heart-to-hearts with guests about the questionable choices, brutal lessons, and deeply mortifying moments that keep us tossing and turning at night. Friendship breakups? Family drama? To medicate or not to medicate? We’re here to commiserate—without preaching advice or pretending there’s an instruction manual for next time. Say goodnight to the suffocating grip of aspiration, get to know the people we idolize like never before, and revel in the comfort of knowing we’d all rather be in bed.
