Eileen Kelly on Owning Our Mental Illness

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.
