In this episode we sit down with... Jessica Murnane
Jessica Murnane is the author of the One Part Plant cookbook, host of the One Part Podcast, and founder of Know Your Endo, the endometriosis education and awareness platform (and soon-to-be book, Spring 2021 of with Penguin Random House). Jessica has contributed to/appeared in magazines and websites that include Bon Appétit, Goop, Shape Magazine, Mind Body Green, and The Coveteur. She has spoken at Apple, SXSW, Taste Talks, Seed Food + Wine, Good Fest, Wanderlust, and The Erma Bombeck Writers’ Workshop, among others.
If you love a great story & real talk around body image you’ll love this conversation.
Trying to be professional as I write this but who am I kidding- I have Jessica’s book & have listened to HER podcast for years. She’s hands-down one of my favorite impact-driven women to follow.
When I was re-listening to our conversation on my walk yesterday morning I kept thinking “DAMN how do we get this message out to more women??”.
Jessica shares her body image story with deep vulnerability- like you’re sitting down with your best friend.
A snippet of what we talk about:
Overcoming body dysmorphia.
Choosing to get a breast reduction (+ WHY).
Getting diagnosed with endometriosis & creating a platform for women who are struggling, to feel supported, seen & understood.
Recognizing the symptoms of endometriosis.
Practical steps for taking care of ourselves right now & supporting loved ones who are struggling with symptoms.
Besides being a badass, one of the main reasons that I wanted to have Jessica on the pod was to share her truth + knowledge around endometriosis & what we can do to make a change.
Jessica’s work is deeply meaningful. And her authenticity is contagious- we laugh & cry our way through this discussion from our first zits to how much we hate the phrase “self-care” ;)
