In this episode of Talking Sh*t, we’re unpacking the perfectionist trap - and why your all-or-nothing mindset might be the real reason you can’t stay consistent with your health goals. Host and dietitian Jana gets personal about the impossible standards women set for themselves, how perfectionism sneaks into your food choices, and what to do when slipping up spirals into a full-on “f*ck it” moment.
We get real about:
🔁 Why you keep going all-in on diets—and burning out just as fast
🍕 How food becomes the outlet when life feels like too much
🧠 The toxic loop of shame, guilt, and self-sabotage (and how to break it)
📋 Why rule-followers need to write their own rules, not borrow someone else’s
💡 What sustainable structure actually looks like when you’re not trying to be perfect
If you’ve ever thought, “Why can I do everything else right, except food?”—this episode is for you.
You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re just stuck in a cycle that was never designed for how you operate.
So grab your drink, ditch the pressure, and let’s talk some sh*t about perfectionism.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
