Here & Human Wellness Podcast
Here & Human Wellness is where the practical parts of wellness meet the messier experience of actually being alive.
Join Jennifer McDaniel, a registered dietitian, writer, and mother of three, for conversations and reflections about food and nutrition, midlife and women’s health, raising a family, relationships, identity, awareness, and the quieter questions of being human.
Some episodes are practical. Some are personal. And some simply invite us to look more closely at what is already here: exploring how we might live well without turning wellness into another thing to get right.

Ep 27: What Are You Doing with Your 4000 Weeks?
Episode summary:
When Jennifer's mastermind group asked her to choose her favorite productivity book to share on their most recent retreat, choosing Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman was a no-brainer.
With ideas like doing nothing, finding novelty in the mundane, and choosing your failures in advance, this isn't your average productivity resource. Burkeman reminds us that we only have, give or take, 4000 weeks to spend so we better find the time to enjoy it.
