Always Shipshape, Mind & Body

In this episode of Project Candor, Jeanne Andersen speaks with holistic nutrition coach Laura Banks about her journey from low self-esteem and negative self-talk to building a healthier, more confident life.

Laura shares how her struggles with food reflected her inner mindset and how real change began when she started facing discomfort instead of avoiding it. Consistent exercise became her first breakthrough, helping her see progress and build momentum.

The conversation highlights the power of mindset in lasting transformation, including how the brain resists change even when it’s positive. Laura emphasizes that sustainable health comes from flexible, realistic habits rather than strict diet rules.

She also discusses the importance of ignoring conflicting online advice, focusing on your own path, and finding what works for your unique body and lifestyle.
