7. Slow Down to Heal: Janet Parnes’ Journey from Burnout to Bone Strength
EPISODE OVERVIEW:
What if the key to healing wasn’t doing more—but thinking differently? In this episode, I’m joined by Janet Parnes, an inspiring client, who shares how her osteoporosis diagnosis led to unexpected transformation—mind, body, and spirit.
We explore how shifting from an all-or-nothing mindset to sustainable habits helped Janet reclaim her time, energy, and joy.
From strength training and protein breakthroughs to morning routines and divine guidance, this conversation is a masterclass in holistic healing.
