Shownotes

If you’ve been dealing with brain fog, fatigue, bloating, or that feeling of “I don’t feel like I should,” this conversation will meet you right where you are. Heather Hansen shares how her own autoimmune thyroid journey led her from nursing into holistic nutrition, mindset coaching, and trauma-informed breath and energy work.

You’ll hear why “getting older” isn’t the real explanation for feeling worn down, how women in their 40s and 50s can reconnect with purpose, and why the soul is often the greatest conflict in the mind-body-soul triangle. Heather also explains a powerful approach to unwinding stored emotions without having to talk through every detail—plus the practical foundations that matter: hydration, sleep, food, movement, and the way you speak to yourself.


If you’re ready to feel more alive, more balanced, and more at peace in your own body, this episode is for you.
