Talking Sh*t
Welcome to Talking Shit—the podcast where we get real about the unfiltered truths women face in the quest for “perfection.”
I’m Jana, your host—a Dietitian and fellow woman navigating the pressure to have it all together: the perfect body, career, relationships, and making it all look effortless. Who set that standard anyway?
Here, we’re calling out the diet fads, hustle culture, beauty standards, and everything else that keeps us feeling stuck. But we’re not just venting—we’re diving into how to break free and rewrite the rules on your terms.
So, grab a coffee or a glass of wine, and let’s talk some shit. Together, we’ll uncover how to live a life that’s unapologetically yours.

Mapping Your Nervous System: Understanding the Patterns That Keep You Stuck
In this episode of Talking Sh*t, Jana drops the pressure to “just be disciplined” and gets real about the one thing most women never consider when they’re trying to change their habits or their relationship with food: their nervous system - the personal blueprint that shapes how you cope, react, shut down, or push through stress.
With nervous system coach and licensed clinical social worker Kim Jackson-Massaro, Jana unpacks why so many women feel stuck: not because they lack willpower, but because their body has learned to survive - not thrive - after years of dieting, criticism, and feeling “not enough.”
They get real about:
💭 How your nervous system wiring explains your reactions - fight, flight, or collapse - and why none of it is your fault
🔥 Why dieting often becomes a trauma response and triggers shutdown, overwhelm, or sabotage
✨ How self-compassion, awareness, and small joy-driven practices help you shift your behavior without shame or force
If you’ve ever felt like you’re fighting your body or stuck in the same patterns, this episode will feel like finally understanding yourself with clarity and compassion.
