The WANTcast, Episode 010: On Letting Go Of The Life Weight with Jessica Murnane
Hold the phone. Stop the presses. We are, officially, IN THE DOUBLE DIGITS. When you're creating one new pod every three weeks, getting to double digits feels like forever - so, to me, this is a huge deal (we're heading towards the 6-month mark!).Especially because of this one little not-so-secret: I was scared out of my mind to start this podcast. I had a smidge of sound editing experience under my belt, had NO clue how to record with someone over Skype, and forget about even getting the tech stuff up and running. This podcast has taught me to be ballsy and just make things happen - because once you're ballsy a few times in a row, it starts to get easier and easier.[bctt tweet="You don’t need to have a great following to be doing exceptional things. - @jessicamurnanes"]I will say, it’s a lot easier to be ballsy when you’ve got people in your corner. And today’s guest is a super special one, because she has been in WANT’s corner since literally the very first email conversation we had (she was actually the person who told me, "You HAVE TO START A PODCAST" and never let me forget she was waiting for it). She’s now become a dear friend of mine, a woman I admire endlessly - and, well, you probably already listen to her podcast religiously.
Jessica Murnane is the wellness Wonder Woman behind JessicaMurnane.com, host of the wildly popular One Part Podcast, and, the MOST exciting, author of a soon-to-be released full-on plant-based cookbook with Harper-Wave in 2017!If Jessica looks familiar, it might be because she's been on WANT before. After being diagnosed with Endometriosis and receiving a pretty crazy ultimatum from her doctors, Jessica decided to try overhauling her diet to see if she could heal herself naturally. Fast forward to today, and Jessica now has zero of those debilitating endometriosis symptoms and follows a full-on plant based diet.In this episode we talk about the HUGE thing on Jessica’s mind lately, something I don’t think we talk about nearly enough in our culture if even at all: letting go of the past and what that actually looks and feels like in the body. We also talk endo, mendo (yup), listening fiercely to your body, and Jessica’s refreshingly honest take on motherhood. (This episode also contains a little bit of quasi-gangsta-rap-language, so if you're sensitive to that, you'll be getting fair warning beforehand.)
