About Jana

Jana

Welcome to my world! I’m Jana, a passionate baker, cook, and mental health advocate.

My YouTube Channel

I create baking and cooking therapy videos on my YouTube channel Home with Jana Show. These videos document my therapeutic journey through the art of cooking and baking.

My Story

I’ve been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and severe depressive disorder. After being on hundreds of medications that caused numerous side effects, I made the decision five years ago to take myself off all medications. To cope with my mental health challenges, I’ve found therapy through baking and cooking.

This food blog is filled with my favorite recipes that I use in my kitchen – each one carefully crafted and tested with love.

My Memoirs

I’ve shared my life experiences in two memoirs available on Amazon:

“Unbroken” and “Becoming” chronicle my journey through mental health challenges and my path to finding healing through cooking.

My Personal Life

I live in a small home in Michigan with my soulmate Tim. We’ve been together for 12 wonderful years and are planning to get married this summer!

Our home is made complete by our three crazy cats: Kitty, Lady, and Spade who keep us constantly entertained.
