60+ resources for the woman who keeps putting herself last
Hey Reader, There is a particular kind of tired that comes from spending all your energy managing everyone else's needs while yours pile up quietly in a corner. You probably know the version of this that shows up at meals: grabbing whatever's fastest, eating standing up, not tasting a single bite because your brain is still running through tomorrow's list. That's why I'm excited to tell you about the Self-Care to Wellness Bundle, available now through June 16th. I'm a contributor, along with...
READ POST{HMW} She hadn't eaten in front of other people in years. Here's why.
Dear Reader, I once gave a talk at a retreat in Banff, and the first night, the host put together a little dinner for all the speakers of the event. I noticed the woman I'd driven from the airport with had a tiny plate and looked hesitant and uncomfortable. Turned out it was the first time in years that she'd eaten in front of other people.

Most of us have been taught to eat until our stomach is full. But...
READ POST{HMW} Filler foods vs. satisfying foods: what your body is actually looking for
Dear Reader, Have you ever eaten a meal, only to be hungry an hour later, and start scouring the fridge and cabinets? >>> Or eaten something but have no memory of eating it or enjoying it? <<<< Why does this happen? For many, the answer is simple: Your brain has not been consciously aware of having eaten. In order to have your brain fully register pleasure and satiety, it needs to be present and engaged in the eating experience. That means slowing down while you eat, chewing more, and not...
READ POST🌹 Doors are open! Come on in and look around...
Dear Reader, As I mentioned last week, I've spent many hours over the last month upgrading, enhancing and beautifying the community end of my Substack publication, Just One More Bite with Jenny Berk. The essays and writing still happens on my Substack, while the community chat and live events happen over on heartbeat - a place we can actually work on, and not just lament about the eating, meal planning and body image issues we all struggle with today (which is so different than even 5 years...

READ POST20 resources for the midlife body, at no cost
Dear Reader, Something shifts in midlife. Not just physically, but in how your body responds to food, stress, sleep, and the habits that used to feel automatic.

I was invited to participate in the 💜EmpowerHer Midlife Bundle, a collection of 20+ expert-created resources built specifically for women navigating this chapter. Nutrition, hormones, energy, stress, and the kind of context that actually...
