Episode 159:
Why reclaiming your health in midlife starts with trusting yourself
Wondering where the real you has gone and how to start finding her again?
“Self-trust isn’t about being perfect or having endless motivation — it’s about having your own back. It’s choosing to support yourself, even when life feels messy or hard.”
— Nicola Farndell
“Burnout didn’t happen overnight. It was years of ignoring myself. And the real shift came when I slowed down enough to listen, to feel, to say: I don’t want to live this way anymore. That’s where healing started.”
— Brittany Stinson
In this episode of Women’s Health Unwrapped:
You keep promising you’ll start again on Monday. But what if what you really need isn’t motivation — it’s self-trust?
I sat down with TEDx speaker and wellness coach Brittany Stinson, who shares her deeply personal story of disconnecting from her health — and how she slowly rebuilt her wellbeing by learning to trust herself again.
From burnout and emotional overload to a renewed sense of alignment and daily rituals, Brittany shows us that change doesn’t start with a plan — it starts with belief.
Whether you’ve lost sight of who you are, feel stuck in survival mode, or want to start showing up for yourself in a more compassionate way, this conversation is your gentle nudge forward.
In this episode we’re unwrapping:
How Brittany’s simple morning ritual became an anchor for long-term change.
The emotional and physical cost of burnout — and how it disconnects us from our bodies.
Why self-trust is the foundation of habit change (and how to rebuild it).
What your self-talk is really doing to your confidence and consistency.
The power of small wins to rewire your belief in yourself.
How “crowding out” unhealthy habits can feel more sustainable than restriction.
Why self-compassion — not pressure — is the key to midlife wellness.
The reminder that this isn’t a race — it’s a return to who you’ve always been

Do you keep making promises to yourself… but never quite follow through?
You say you’ll start again Monday. You try to eat better, move more, slow down. But life pulls you off course — again.
It’s not that you don’t care. It’s that you don’t trust yourself to keep going. And that quiet self-doubt? It’s often the real reason you feel stuck.
