We sit down with our dear friend Coree Jo Costa, aka The Juiciest Fruit, to talk about a more intuitive way of eating. Coree Jo doesn’t prescribe diets or rules—instead, she encourages self-study, listening to your body, and keeping it simple with her favorite principle: eat the rainbow. It’s an easy, nourishing way to get more nutrients from whole foods, skip the diet noise, and feel good about how you eat again.

Whether it’s painting, drawing, or simply experimenting with color and texture, this conversation will inspire you to slow down, let go, and rediscover the joy of creating for its own sake.
