She shares how constant input from phones, messages, podcasts, and the everyday rhythm of parenting and work can keep the nervous system activated. Even small pockets of potential stillness often get filled automatically. Jen begins experimenting with simple shifts such as letting space remain empty, delaying the impulse to respond or order something right away, and allowing moments of boredom, quiet, or daydreaming to unfold.As she notices how urgency feels in her body, Jen explores the deeper desire behind these changes, which is cultivating more inner calm and spaciousness. She reflects on the pull of productivity and the identity that can form around always being responsive. The conversation closes with a reading from The Book of Awakening by Mark Nepo and a gentle reminder that when everything feels urgent, slowing down may be exactly what we need.

I’m wanting more inner stillness.” “The mind is always scanning, always scanning, like what should you be doing?”  Resources <a href='https://www.instagram.com/jenmcdanielrdn/'>Jen&apos;s Instagram</a> <a href='https://jennifermcdaniel.substack.com/'>Jen&apos;s Substack</a> <a href='https://sobersistersinstl.substack.com/'>Sober Sisters in St Louis Substack</a> <a href='https://www.sobersistersinstlouis.com/'>Sober Sisters in St Louis Website</a> <a href='https://www.instagram.com/mcdanielnutrition/'>McDaniel Nutrition Therapy Instagram</a> <a href='https://mcdanielnutrition.com/'>McDaniel Nutrition Therapy Website</a> <a href='https://mcdanielnutrition.com/podcast/'>Past Podcast Episodes</a> <a href='https://marknepo.com/books/book_of_awakening/'>Book: The Book of Awakening by Mark Nepo</a> <a href='https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Solitude/Anthony-Storr/9780743280747'>Book: Solitude: A Return to the Self by Anthony Storr</a> <a href='https://www.sobersistersinstlouis.com/events'>Spring Fling: Style, Silence &amp; Understanding Urges</a> <a href='https://www.sobersistersinstlouis.com/silent-retreat'>2026 Silent Retreat </a><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1835775/support">Support the show</a>

With honesty and care, she explores the different experiences she’s seen in her practice, from clients who have found meaningful metabolic improvements to those who struggled with side effects, strength loss, or a muted relationship with food and life. Rather than taking a pro or anti stance, she centers the discussion on neutrality, evidence, and deep respect for individual choice.She also unpacks the concept of “food noise,” inviting listeners to consider where mental chatter about food and body might be coming from and whether medication is the only path to relief. Jen offers thoughtful guidance on what to look for in a provider, the importance of strength training and adequate nourishment, and how to tune out messaging that creates fear or shame. It’s an empowering reminder that your body is not a problem to fix, and that support should always feel safe, informed, and aligned with your values. Favorite Quotes:“We are not pro-diet by any stretch of the imagination. But what we are, we are pro-people.” “If your doctor tells you just to stop eating, I think I&apos;d get the hell out of her office.” “There are a lot of things that go into the size, the shape of a body and it’s not just diet and exercise.” “You are not going to do well from a health span perspective if you take the medication but you don’t move your body in terms of strength training.”  Resources <a href='https://www.instagram.com/jenmcdanielrdn/'>Jen&apos;s Instagram</a> <a href='https://jennifermcdaniel.substack.com/'>Jen&apos;s Substack</a> <a href='https://sobersistersinstl.substack.com/'>Sober Sisters in St Louis Substack</a> <a href='https://www.instagram.com/mcdanielnutrition/'>McDaniel Nutrition Therapy Instagram</a> <a href='https://mcdanielnutrition.com/'>McDaniel Nutrition Therapy Website</a> <a href='https://mcdanielnutrition.com/podcast/'>Past Podcast Episodes</a> <a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1835775/support">Support the show</a>

Ep 78: A Compassionate Conversation About GLP-1s

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1835775/open_sms">Send a text</a>February 3, 2026 Love You More Ep 77:  A Conversation on Sobriety and Freedom with Sam Goldfinch Episode summary:Jen sits down with Sam Goldfinch for an honest conversation about sobriety, freedom, and the inner worlds we learn to live inside. Sam shares his personal journey with alcohol in a way that moves beyond labels and shame, offering a compassionate perspective on addiction, curiosity, and what it really means to feel free. Rather than prescribing a single path, he invites listeners to notice what is no longer working and to imagine what else might be possible.Together, Jen and Sam explore the myth that alcohol is required for connection, confidence, or joy. They talk about intuition, social ease, and learning to trust yourself again, especially in moments of discomfort or change. This episode is a reminder that growth is rarely linear, insight often comes through detours, and you are never truly starting over, just becoming more honest with yourself. Sam&apos;s Bio:Sam spent 15 years immersed in what he calls cliché spirituality, training as a yoga teacher, traveling to India, and spending hours in meditation. Yet beneath it all, he was still seeking and living with deep anxiety that had been present since childhood. In trying to escape that anxiety, he became attached to anything he believed might save him, from substances to intense spiritual practice.A few years ago, a simple but profound understanding shifted everything. Sam saw that his anxiety was not a problem and not his identity. That realization opened him to a depth of feeling and freedom he never knew existed. Today, he invites others to uncover the rebel spirit that is already within them, reminding us that wisdom does not follow rules and it may be time to break some. Favorite Quotes: “I just want people to be able to live their best life. It’s not my fight. I’m not trying to rid the world of alcohol. I want it to be so not a thing for people that it doesn’t even make sense to hate it.” -Sam Goldfinch “I don’t think we ever really go back to square one. That just doesn’t look true to me. You don’t unlearn what you’ve seen.” -Sam Goldfinch “Most of the nights we think were great because of alcohol were actually great because we were connecting.

After an injury shifted her relationship with running, she found herself returning to walking as a simple, accessible way to move, think, and reset. From cold mornings to family trips and quiet neighborhood streets, walking becomes a steady presence that supports both physical health and mental clarity.She also reflects on habits, expectations, and the subtle pressure that can come with tracking movement and hitting goals. With honesty and warmth, Jenn explores what it means to move in ways that feel supportive rather than demanding, reminding listeners that consistency, curiosity, and kindness toward ourselves matter just as much as intensity. Favorite Quotes:“Walking is just literally enjoying the process.” “Running and walking absolutely give me material, give me content, give me ideas, solutions.” “I know that I can absolutely be a healthy, worthy person without hitting that number of steps in a day.” “There’s always silver lining.

What began as a small, deeply personal practice is now moving into new hands in a way that still honors the people, values, and care that have always defined it.Along the way, Jen shares how this decision came together, from early hesitation to a deep sense of trust in the timing and the people involved. She talks about what it means to step back without disappearing, to care for the team who helped build the practice, and to allow the business to continue growing in a way that feels aligned and supportive for everyone.  Favorite Quotes:“I wasn’t looking for anybody to purchase McDaniel Nutrition because I’m perfectly happy doing what I was doing.” “There just wasn’t this clinging of a need to have a story of Jennifer very much anymore.” “I have no resistance to letting go of this whole thing right now.
