Jana Pittman on Drama, Resilience and Finally Learning to Rest
Dr Jana Pittman, the Olympian turned obstetrician, joins me to talk about bulimia, three divorces, six kids on a farm and the one thing that's actually fixed her sleep.
This week on Beautiful Inside, in partnership with Rest, I'm joined by Dr Jana Pittman. She's an Olympian, a registrar training to be an obstetrician and the mother of six kids, and she's disarmingly honest about all of it.
We talk about the nickname she never chose, bulimia and food noise, three divorces and four miscarriages, and a farm outside Port Macquarie with close to a hundred animals. Then we get to the part I wanted most: sleep, perimenopause and why she swears by Rest's Evercool bedding.
In this episode you will learn
- How Jana turned two lost Olympics into fuel for her next chapter.
- Why she says every disappointment has to be flipped.
- What food noise is and why it only quietened with medical support.
- How night shifts, six kids and early perimenopause wrecked her sleep.
- Why Evercool bedding changed how she sleeps.
