How To Eat Lunch with Cheryl K. Johnson | 277


Listen Later

Feeling stuck in a post-coffee slump? Running on autopilot through your afternoons? Or do you believe you don’t have time for a real lunch? This episode of This Is Woman’s Work is here to change all that.

Our guest, Cheryl K. Johnson, brings us back to basics in the most energizing way possible. Cheryl is a researcher by profession and a long-time food and fitness enthusiast at heart. She knows firsthand the push and pull between career and self-care and how often we sacrifice the latter for the former. When Cheryl realized her own career was no longer feeding her (pun fully intended), she developed a revolutionary approach to reclaiming a mindful lunch break: Box Lunch Lifestyle.

Cheryl’s method isn’t just about eating—it’s about carving out time to fuel your body, reset your mind, and honor your energy. Her book Box Lunch Lifestyle lays out how a simple, intentional lunch can transform your day—and she’s here to teach us how to make it happen.

Key Takeaways:
  • Why lunch might be the most impactful change you can make to your day.
  • How to reclaim a lunch break that fuels your energy and focus.
  • Practical tips for building a lunch routine that works for you.
  • Let’s stop settling for whatever’s closest or easiest and start feeding ourselves in ways that fuel not just our bodies but our lives.
