Love You More Podcast
As a dietitian who works in behavior change, I've noticed a common theme in my work: the need for people to give themselves permission for true self care. But, sometimes, the world makes us feel like self-care should be ONE more thing we strive for leaving us feeling like we even fail at this! The Love You More podcast is here to support you in your personal journey towards being there for THE most important person in your life: YOU.

Ep 85: That was Interesting!
Episode summary:
Sometimes the lessons we need don't arrive the way we expect them to. In this episode, Jen shares the surprising story of accidentally being served an alcoholic beer after more than three and a half years without alcohol. What could have become a source of guilt or fear instead became an opportunity for curiosity, reflection, and a deeper understanding of how she's changed.
Together, we explore what happens when we let go of all or nothing thinking, trust our own experiences instead of rigid labels, and allow ourselves to evolve. Jen also shares updates on her writing, the changes to Here in Human Wellness, and why creating space, both in silence and in everyday life, can reveal what truly matters.
