 In this episode of Talkin’ Shit, we’re breaking down the chaos of modern mealtime and why your dinner struggle isn’t just a you problem. Jana sits down with grocery-store dietitian and author April Graff to talk about real-life nutrition, food fatigue, and how to make meals that actually fit your lifestyle—not the other way around.

We get real about:
 🍽️ Why “what” you eat is only part of the equation—
where and when matters, too
🚗 How to plan for mobile meals (think: soccer games, commutes, and crazy nights)
🧠 Why diet plans fail and how to build a routine that
you can stick to
💡 The magic of formula cooking—and how to skip the Sunday meal prep if you hate it
🔥 Why fun meals matter (and what makes Friday dinner
feel like a win)

Whether you're juggling kids, careers, caregiving, or just feel burnt out by dinner decisions, this episode gives you real talk, real tools, and a dose of permission to make food simpler—and way more satisfying.

Grab your drink and tune in—because food should work for you, not stress you out.
