1 小时 0 分钟My guest today, Janine Roth, is Donne trying to fix the messy parts of her life.
And she wants you to consider the possibility that a good part of your magnificence lies in your mess.
A kind of a Meganew York Times bestselling author of books like when Food is Love, Women, Food and God, she has been teaching groundbreaking workshops for over 30 years now.
She's been featured everywhere from the Oprah Winfrey show to 2020 Today Show, Good Morning America, the View, so many other places.
In this week's best of conversation, Jeanine invites us to really stand in our own imperfection, to allow and create the space to feel loved and whole and good.
Even when a lot of open questions remain, we don't have all the answers, and things aren't crystal clear.
Kind of also to remain and reclaim a sense of agency and expansion over our bodies, our lives, our relationships and over our power at a time when too many of us feel a lack of control and, and maybe contraction instead of expansion.
So excited to share this conversation with you.
I'm Jonathan Fields, and this is good life project.
I was an unhappy kid.
I was, I think, of myself since nobody was seeing the elephant in the living room.
I became the elephant in the living room, and I became what you couldn't trip over because my parents were unhappy.
It was an unhappy family.
And so I struggled with that.
And there was addiction and abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse.
It was just a, it was a rough childhood.
But, and I don't mean to sound like a Pollyanna, because I'm really, really, truly not a Pollyanna at all.
I see the dark side of things first, but I see now, in retrospect, that having gone through that, and I developed eating disorders during that time as well, gave me the impetus to get through that.
And it also, because I experienced so much, allowed me entree into other people's lives when I write about that, because they feel like they're not alone.
So I think it, in the end, was good for my writing, but I wouldn't have chosen it consciously.
