Still tired, foggy, or inflamed—even though your labs are normal? This episode is your permission slip to stop guessing and start testing. I share why functional lab testing is a game-changer for high-capacity women in midlife who are ready to stop chasing symptoms and start healing from the inside out.

You’ll learn the difference between symptom-management and root-cause healing, how personalized wellness plans work, and why “doing all the right things” doesn’t always lead to results—unless you know what your body truly needs.

If you’re stuck in the in-between—not sick, but definitely not well—this is your moment to take back your health with clarity, strategy, and grace.

In This Episode:

• Why guessing at your health is exhausting (and ineffective)
• The limits of conventional lab work and standard health advice
• What functional testing can reveal about fatigue, brain fog, and hormone shifts
• A real-life example of how personalized wellness plans bring clarity and results
• What to expect when working with a functional health practitioner
• Why midlife is the ideal time to take a root-cause approach to your health

I hope this episode blesses you!

Xoxo,

Tanya

If you’re constantly tired, struggling with brain fog, or just feel off—but your doctor says your labs look “normal”—this episode is for you. Tanya shares the deeply personal results of her own foundational functional lab testing and explains why so many high-capacity women are dismissed by conventional medicine. You'll learn what functional labs can reveal that standard testing misses, how chronic stress hijacks your health before disease shows up, and why now is the best time to start healing.

Whether you’re in perimenopause, leadership, or simply carrying more than your share, you don’t have to keep pushing through. This episode is your reminder: You are not imagining your symptoms—and you don’t have to wait until you’re sick to feel better.

In This Episode:

• Why "normal labs" don’t always mean optimal health
• What Tanya discovered through her own hormone, gut, and metabolic lab testing
• How chronic stress and inflammation show up before disease
• What makes functional health testing different (and empowering!)
• Why this is the ideal window for rebuilding your health naturally
• How to explore your own healing path with faith and science working together

I hope this episode blesses you!

Xoxo,

Tanya

Is unhealed shame or guilt quietly sabotaging your health? In this episode, Tanya peels back the layers of how guilt and shame often show up in disguise—as people-pleasing, over-functioning, and relentless striving.

If you’re a high-capacity woman who can’t seem to rest or say no, it’s time to explore what’s driving that pressure. Learn how chronic stress from emotional pain affects your hormones, your energy, your nervous system—and even your relationship with God.

This episode offers a powerful perspective and practical next steps to begin healing from the inside out, so you can lead from a place of wholeness.

In this episode, we’ll cover:

• How shame and guilt masquerade as perfectionism and people-pleasing
• The stress loop that leads to burnout, brain fog, hormone imbalance, and disconnection from God
• The difference between guilt that convicts and shame that condemns
• 4 powerful ways to begin healing emotionally, spiritually, and physically

Key Scriptures: Isaiah 61, Romans 8:1, John 10:10

I hope this episode blesses you!

In this episode, I’m speaking to the leader who’s been holding it all together… for everyone. You’re strong. You’re capable. You’ve got the titles and the trust of those around you. But maybe, deep down, you’re also a little tired — and a little unsure of where you fit in the midst of all the roles you carry.

Today, we’re dismantling the myth that real leadership means doing it all without help. I’ll walk you through how over-responsibility and isolation can sneak into leadership, not out of pride — but out of habit. And I’ll offer practical, faith-centered ways to start letting others support you without losing your impact, your credibility, or your sense of self.

You’ll hear what Scripture really says about supported leadership, why delegation is not weakness, and how to lead from a place of strength and surrender.

You were never meant to lead alone — and asking for help doesn’t make you less strong. It makes you whole.

I hope this episode blesses you!

Xoxo,

Tanya

In this episode, I’m speaking directly to the woman who’s holding everything together on the outside… but inside, she’s feeling stretched, disconnected, and quietly exhausted.

You’re the go-to person, the dependable one, the capable leader everyone else relies on. But somewhere along the way, you’ve started feeling the weight of it all — physically, emotionally, spiritually.

Today, we’re digging into what burnout really looks like for high-capacity Christian women — especially those of us in healthcare or leadership roles. I’ll unpack how over-functioning, emotional labor, and nervous system dysregulation sneak in through the back door of our good intentions… and why they can lead to burnout even when everything looks “fine.”

I’ll also walk you through specific, practical ways to start leading from overflow instead of depletion — because you can be strong and still need support. You were never meant to carry leadership alone.

I hope this episode blesses you!

Xoxo,

Tanya
