Welcome back to HER Truth Revealed: Unraveling Our Midlife Era—where we ditch the masks, embrace the mess, and remember who the hell we are.
This one is for the woman who’s tired of pretending everything’s fine, but deep down, knows it’s not.
I had the pleasure of sitting down with the incredible Sonia Jenkins—registered health coach with over 45 years of experience in the medical field. Sonia didn’t just step into health coaching; she lived it.
After years of treating chronic health conditions as a nurse practitioner, Sonia found herself facing her own health challenges and discovered the power of functional medicine and self-care.
Her journey from nursing to coaching didn’t just change her life—it’s now changing the lives of midlife women all over the world.
This episode is part wake-up call, part wellness blueprint, and 100% real talk about how we can truly care for ourselves as we age.
In this episode, we talk about:
- The trappings of success—why more isn’t always better
- How chronic stress can lead to long-term health conditions (and what to do about it)
- The power of acknowledging stress before it derails your health
- Why self-care isn’t just a spa day—it’s a daily commitment to your future self
- Functional medicine vs. conventional care: Why it’s about more than just treating symptoms
- The ripple effects of not listening to your body
- Why toxic resilience is hurting women in midlife
- Simple, sustainable habits that make a world of difference in your health
Whether you’re navigating the chaos of midlife, struggling with stress, or looking for ways to truly prioritize your health, this episode is packed with the insights you need to take action today.
When I asked Sonia what she would tell her 25-year-old self, her response was simple:
“Listen to your body, because it’s always speaking to you.”
Let that sink in.
