Talking Sh*t

Send us Fan Mail

As a Registered Dietitian, I can teach you how to eat more protein, balance your blood sugar, and lose weight but after more than a decade of coaching women, I've realized food is rarely the real issue.

The deeper struggle is worthiness.

In this episode, I share why so many women put themselves last, why knowing what to eat isn't enough, and how our relationship with ourselves often shapes our relationship with food. We explore people-pleasing, perfectionism, self-care, and why true health begins when you believe you're already worthy of taking care of yourself.

If you've ever felt like you needed to lose weight, accomplish more, or prove yourself before you deserved happiness or health, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, you'll learn:

•  Why food is often a symptom, not the root problem 
•  How worthiness impacts your health habits 
•  Why sustainable health starts with believing you're already enough 
•  The heart behind The Worthy You Retreat 

If this episode resonates with you, please share it with a woman who needs this reminder: You don't have to earn your worth, you already have it.

What if courage isn't the absence of fear?

What if courage is simply deciding that something matters more than your fear?

In this episode, we explore the idea that some of the most meaningful experiences in life require us to do them scared.

The problem isn't that we're afraid. The problem is that many of us have been taught to wait until we're no longer afraid before we take action.

And if that's the standard, we may spend our entire lives waiting.

Key Takeaways

You don't need more confidence.
You need more evidence that you can handle hard things.

Fear is not always a stop sign.
Sometimes it's simply an invitation into a bigger life.

You can be scared and capable at the same time.
These two things are not mutually exclusive.

The goal isn't fearlessness.
The goal is becoming the kind of person who moves forward even when fear is present.

Self-trust is built through action.
Every time you do something scared, you teach yourself that you can survive uncertainty.

Questions to Reflect On

• What would you do if fear wasn't making the decision?
• Where in your life are you waiting to "feel ready"?
• What dream, goal, or desire keeps calling your name?
• What is one small step you can take this week, even if you're scared?

Thinking about coming off birth control—but worried about acne, mood swings, or irregular cycles?

In this episode, I sit down with Dietitian Taylor Lechner MFN, RD, LD who specializes in helping women transition off birth control smoothly and heal hormone imbalances naturally.

•  Common symptoms like acne, mood swings, and irregular cycles—and why they happen
•  How to support your body through a smooth transition off birth control

If you’ve been eating less, trying harder, and still not seeing results, this episode will give you the clarity and strategy you’ve been missing.

In this episode, I break down metabolic adaptation—what it is, why it happens, and how to work with your body (not against it) to start seeing progress again.

What You’ll Learn

•  What metabolic adaptation actually is (and why it’s not a bad thing) 
•  Why weight loss plateaus happen—even when you’re consistent 
•  Common signs your metabolism has adapted 
•  What most women do wrong when they hit a plateau 
•  A step-by-step approach to breaking through a plateau sustainably 

Your body isn’t working against you—it’s working for you.

Plateaus are normal.
Adaptation is normal.

The breakthrough comes when you stop chasing extremes and start building a strategy your body can actually sustain.

If this episode resonated with you, share with me one takeaway you will be using to support your body more!

In this episode, Jana dive's into the real power of nutrition and why food impacts far more than just the number on the scale. While many people think about nutrition only in terms of weight loss, the truth is that the foods you eat influence your energy, metabolism, mood, hormones, long-term health, and even your financial future.

March is National Nutrition Month, and this year’s theme is “Discover the Power of Nutrition.” In this episode, Jana explores what that truly means and why the choices we make around food can shape not only our health but the quality of our lives.

You’ll learn why nutrition should be viewed as an investment in your future, not a punishment or short-term diet. Jana breaks down how everyday food choices influence your body’s ability to perform, recover, think clearly, manage stress, and prevent chronic disease.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by nutrition advice or stuck in cycles of dieting, this episode will help you step back and understand the bigger picture of how food supports your entire life.

✔ Nutrition influences every system in the body
✔ Small daily food choices compound into long-term health outcomes
✔ The goal is not perfection—it’s consistency and sustainability
✔ Food should be viewed as fuel, nourishment, and protection for your future

Have you ever found yourself asking, “Am I actually hungry… or do I just want something?”

In this episode, I explore two powerful types of hunger—mind hunger and heart hunger—and how understanding the difference can transform your relationship with food.

Many women believe their “problem” is willpower. But often, the real issue is misidentifying the type of hunger they’re experiencing. When you learn how to distinguish between physical hunger, mental stimulation hunger, and emotional hunger, you gain clarity, confidence, and control over your choices—without restriction or guilt.

In This Episode, I Cover:

• What mind hunger is and how boredom triggers eating
• How heart hunger drives emotional eating
• Why food feels comforting during stress or loneliness

Key Takeaway

Not all hunger is physical.

Sometimes your body needs food.
Sometimes your mind needs stimulation.
Sometimes your heart needs connection.

Learning to identify which type of hunger you’re experiencing is the first step toward a healthier, more empowered relationship with food.

Reflection Questions

• When I want to eat, what am I feeling?
• Would a balanced meal satisfy me right now?
• Or do I need rest, connection, stimulation, or comfort?

If you’ve ever set a weight loss goal and felt motivated at first—only to lose momentum weeks later—you’re not alone. The truth is, most people aren’t failing because they lack discipline. They’re struggling because they were never taught how to set realistic weight loss goals in a way that supports their metabolism, mindset, and long-term health.

In today’s episode, I sit down with fellow Dietitian Kaylee Kussmann to break down the right way to set weight loss and health goals so you can finally see results—and maintain them.

This conversation goes beyond the number on the scale. Because sustainable weight loss isn’t about perfection. It’s about building habits that work with your body, not against it.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why most weight loss goals fail (and what to do instead)
• How unrealistic expectations sabotage your progress
• The difference between outcome goals and behavior-based goals
• How to set realistic weight loss goals that actually lead to lasting change

This Episode Is For You If:

• You feel stuck in a cycle of starting and stopping weight loss
• You want to lose weight in a sustainable, realistic way
• You’re tired of setting goals that feel impossible to maintain
• You’re ready to approach weight loss differently

Key Takeaway:

The right weight loss goals don’t just help you lose weight—they help you build a body and lifestyle that can maintain those results long term.

When you focus on realistic goals, balanced nutrition, and consistent habits, weight loss becomes a natural side effect—not a constant uphill battle.

Today marks one year of Talking Sh*t — and what a year it has been.

In this special solo episode, I take you behind the scenes and share the real story of how this podcast began — the doubts, the courage, the nudge to use my voice, and the moment I decided to stop shrinking.

I open up about:

• Why I started Talking Sh*t in the first place
• What was happening in my life and business at the time
• The fears I had about being seen and heard
• And why continuing to speak boldly in this space matters more than ever

This podcast was never just about nutrition.
 It’s about truth.
 It’s about calling out what isn’t working.
 It’s about women reclaiming their power, their health, their boundaries, and their worth.

One year later, I’m more committed than ever to sharing conversations that challenge diet culture, expose the gaps in healthcare, and remind women that they are capable of more.

Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for being part of this community.

Here’s to another year of growth, boldness, and yes… talking sh*t 🤍

In This Episode, We Cover:

• Why gut health is about more than just what you eat
• The role of the vagus nerve and nervous system in digestion
• How chronic stress can slow digestion and worsen GI symptoms
• Why sleep quality matters for gut healing and inflammation
• How blood sugar balance influences cravings, bloating, and energy
• The truth about fermented foods—who they help and when they don’t
• Practical, realistic ways to support your gut without extreme protocols

Who This Episode Is For:

• Anyone struggling with bloating, constipation, or digestive discomfort
• Those who feel overwhelmed by gut health rules
• Women dealing with stress-related GI symptoms
• Anyone ready for a simpler, more sustainable approach to gut health

🎧 Listen now and learn how to support your gut by working with your body—not against it.
