Episode 144: From Food Restriction to Liberation: Janice’s Mindful Eating Journey

I am so thankful that Janice overcame her fear of public speaking to share her journey with food and eating on the Eating for You podcast.

Former nurse Janice reflects on growing up on a farm, decades of shift work, and a lifetime of diets that never quite fit. 

In this candid chat, she shares the “aha” moments that helped her swap all-or-nothing thinking for mindful, non-judgemental choices—like checking in before, during, and after meals, noticing stress and sleep triggers, and choosing foods that she actually enjoys.

Find out why her squid salad moment was an important milestone for Janice!

We also talk about community, self-compassion, and realistic movement at every stage of life.

Subscribe to the Eating for You podcast so you don’t miss out on any episodes to help stop non-hunger eating, enjoy nourishing food, and feel healthy and happy in your body.
