🎙️ Episode 39: The Power of the Pause – Mindful Eating Practices for Stressed Caregivers
Caregivers often put everyone else first—but what if one of the most powerful forms of self-care is something you already do every day: eating? In this episode of Radiant Moments: A J and B Podcast, we explore how mindful eating can reconnect you to your body, soothe your nervous system, and offer you the pause you didn’t know you needed.
Michelle shares a powerful personal story about surviving on cold toast in the midst of medical chaos and how that moment became a wake-up call to reclaim nourishment. We’ll also break down practical, judgement-free strategies to help caregivers integrate mindful eating into even the busiest days—no perfection required.
🌟 In this episode:
- What mindful eating really means (and what it doesn’t)
- Why caregivers often forget to nourish themselves
- Simple ways to make meals moments of calm and connection
- Mindful meal prep ideas that don’t add to your to-do list
- A one-minute mindful sip practice to get started today
💛 Whether you’re eating in a hospital corridor, over the kitchen sink, or late at night in your car, this episode is your invitation to pause. To reconnect. To nourish not just your body—but your worth.
