Welcome to the Find Your Fierce Podcast, where you will discover your fierce, unlock an unstoppable mindset, build unbreakable courage, and completely transform how you show up every single day. I'm your host, Jill Allen, and I'm so glad you're joining me today.

Okay, real talk—have you ever noticed how the more you try to “be good” with food, the more you end up thinking about it nonstop? In this episode, I’m diving into why restriction often backfires and how mindful eating can actually help you feel way more at peace with food (and yourself).

If you’ve ever felt stuck in that loop of cravings, guilt, and starting over every Monday... this one’s for you.

Here’s what we get into:

04:37 – What mindful eating actually looks like in real life—and how to start doing it without overthinking.
07:50 – Can you really have food freedom and still reach your health and fitness goals? Let’s talk about it.
12:10 – The sneaky connection between inflammation, cravings, and why you feel “out of control” sometimes.
14:47 – Super simple things you can do today to eat more mindfully and quiet the food noise in your head.

Let’s get into it—this one’s a game-changer.

Key Takeaway:

"Oftentimes, cravings are seen as bad or something to be avoided, but they're simply your body's way of communicating its needs." - Jill Allen

"You could absolutely have both food freedom and health goals. They don’t cancel each other out. But that doesn't mean eating whatever you want, whenever you want. It means eating in a way that’s best for your body to function at its highest level." - Jill Allen

After a short pause, I’m so grateful to return and share what’s been stirring in my heart. In this episode, we’re talking about how to face life’s challenges with faith, grace, and hope. I’ll be sharing personal reflections and Spirit-led insights on how we can turn negativity into light, and chaos into peace—one prayerful step at a time.

Rooted in timeless biblical truths and real-life stories, this episode is full of encouragement and practical wisdom to help you live with greater intention, deeper compassion, and a heart anchored in love. Whether you’re in a storm or standing in the sun, there’s something here for you.

Tune in for an insightful conversation:

03:55 - The healing power of prayer during hard seasons, and how Scripture can be your steady foundation.

06:00 - A closer look at Jesus’ version of the Golden Rule—how it calls us not just to avoid harm, but to actively do good.

08:14 - What does it really mean to love your enemies? Practical steps to bless even those who push us away.

11:20 - A moving story of perseverance, prayer, and how one act of kindness can ripple farther than we imagine.

14:22 - Simple, faith-filled ways to make kindness a daily habit—because small things done in love are never small to God.

Key Takeaway:

Jesus understands that the words we speak hold power over our life and if we speak in such a negative way about someone who is speaking negatively about us, guys, we're just perpetuating the curse. - Jill Allen
