Self-Care with Jean

In this episode, I'm getting into one of my favorite summer topics: dressings and sauces that will absolutely transform your meals. We've been having fun with cool soups and practicing our salads, but now it's time to talk about those magical flavor enhancers that bring our food to life. I'll walk you through the essential components of creating incredible dressings and sauces - from choosing your base (whether it's water, organic apple juice, or fresh citrus) to adding those perfect flavor elements like dates for sweetness or fresh herbs like basil and cilantro. Your blender is going to be your best friend here, especially when we're working with soaked cashews or almonds for that dreamy, creamy texture. I'm sharing some of my go-to recipes that I know you'll love: a rich miso almond sauce, my ever-changing pumpkin seed dressing with toasted seeds and fresh parsley, a zesty tahini dressing that's perfect for noodle salads, a gorgeous avocado dressing, and even a fun strawberry dressing that screams summer! The key here is creativity and fearlessness in the kitchen. I want you to play, experiment, and let your food guide you toward creating these beautiful enhancements for your salads and vegetable dishes. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit Jean's website: SelfCareWithJean.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://selfcarewithjean.com/]! ----- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to Jean's podcast updates⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://form.jotform.com/230044650169148] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ask Jean⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://selfcarewithjean.com/ask-jean/] | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jean's downloads⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://selfcarewithjean.com/downloads/] | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book Jean for your next event⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://selfcarewithjean.com/events/] ----- Follow Jean on Social Media: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/jeanedelmanpodcast/] | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://twitter.com/jean_edelman] | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqj20GNHbBtXX4cVvHUn0zg] Listen to Jean on your favorite podcast app: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://apple.co/3CJu1NF] | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://spoti.fi/3vWPZcj] | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠iHeart⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://ihr.fm/3CJxNqs] -----

In this heartfelt episode of Self-Care with Jean, I open up about my recent struggles with uncertainty and grief. At 66, I find myself saying 'I don't know' more often than I'd like, especially when it comes to life's big questions. I share my experience of navigating an emotional dip in the road, processing multiple losses, and the importance of having a support system. We dive into the value of emotional toolboxes, asking for help, and being honest with ourselves during challenging times. I also discuss the power of journaling as a means of self-discovery and finding clarity amidst the confusion. We explore the beauty of embracing micro-moments of joy and the liberation that comes with accepting that it's okay not to have all the answers. This episode is a reminder that we're all in this 'Earth school' together, learning to love ourselves and each other. I encourage you to be kind to yourself, reach out when you need support, and remember that even in difficult moments, it's all going to be okay. Join me for this authentic conversation about self-care, personal growth, and finding happiness in the midst of life's uncertainties. Remember, you are not alone in this journey. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit Jean's website: SelfCareWithJean.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://selfcarewithjean.com/]! ----- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to Jean's podcast updates⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://form.jotform.com/230044650169148] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ask Jean⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://selfcarewithjean.com/ask-jean/] | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jean's downloads⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://selfcarewithjean.com/downloads/] | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book Jean for your next event⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://selfcarewithjean.com/events/] ----- Follow Jean on Social Media: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/jeanedelmanpodcast/] | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://twitter.com/jean_edelman] | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqj20GNHbBtXX4cVvHUn0zg] Listen to Jean on your favorite podcast app: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://apple.co/3CJu1NF] | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://spoti.fi/3vWPZcj] | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠iHeart⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://ihr.fm/3CJxNqs] -----
