In this episode of Age Like a Badass Mother, Lauren sits down with spiritual acupuncturist and healer Banya Lim to explore intuition, emotional healing, and the connection between the body, mind, and spirit. Coming from a long lineage of healers, Banya shares her personal journey through depression and gastrointestinal issues, and how meditation, movement, and learning to “feel differently” helped her heal from the inside out.

The conversation dives into body wisdom, the emotional energy we carry, and the subtle ways intuition shows up in everyday life, even through the colors we’re drawn to wear. Banya explains how learning to listen to ourselves can lead to profound healing, better self-care, and a more aligned, harmonious life.

Topics Explored: 

• Banya’s background as a spiritual acupuncturist from a family of healers
• Her experience with depression and chronic gastrointestinal problems
• Healing through meditation, movement, and emotional awareness
• The connection between emotional and physical health
• How intuition can guide healing and life decisions
• Learning to trust your body’s signals and instincts
• The role of self-awareness in personal growth and well-being

What does it really take to age well?

In this episode, I talk with Monica Nassif, founder of Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day, but the real spotlight is on her 93-year-old mother, Thelma.

Thelma still lives independently, gets outside every day to walk or garden, stays active, and says yes to life. Her habits are simple but powerful, and offer a real-world blueprint for aging with strength, energy, and purpose.

We also cover Monica’s entrepreneurial journey, lessons from growing up on a farm, and what it takes to build a successful, values-driven brand.

If you want to age better, start here.

What You'll Learn:

In this episode, I’m talking about what it actually means to “let that sh*t go," not in a bypass-y, pretend-it’s-fine way, but in a deeply human, nervous-system-level shift that can change how you feel in your body, your relationships, and your life.

I share personal stories, simple practices you can use immediately, and a shift in perspective that might just make everything feel a little lighter.

What I Cover

• Why so many of us are stuck in a chronic stress state (and don’t even realize it)
• What “softening” actually looks like: emotionally and physically
• How to shift out of fight-or-flight and into calm, connection, and clarity
• The surprising lesson we can learn from our dog
• How softening can transform your relationships, especially with family
• The role of forgiveness (including forgiving yourself) in letting go
• Reframing hard situations as something you chose

Years ago, Brandi started The Vegan 8, as a way to help her husband manage gout. That turned into a career, a thriving community, and a whole new chapter of life.

Lauren chats with Brandi Doming, creator of The Vegan 8, to discuss how plant-based eating can transform not just your health but also your confidence and direction in midlife.

Brandi also talks candidly about her journey through peri-menopause. She believes her diet and lifestyle have kept her experience mostly mild. 

Beyond food, they dive into dating in midlife, workouts to build muscle, ballroom dancing, grieving her parents, and choosing to live more honestly. At 50, Brandi is living with intention and fewer regrets. 

In This Episode:

• Reinvention after 50: navigating grief, divorce, and starting over
• Plant-based health and nutrition for midlife women
• Menopause, energy, and body changes in your 50s
• Dating and confidence after divorce
• Movement and fitness that brings joy, not punishment
• Skincare and aging gracefully for midlife
• Simple, protein-rich plant-based recipes

Chuck Carroll didn't just struggle with his weight; he grew up expecting to die young. By the time he was a freshman in high school, he was already on blood pressure medication, and by his mid-twenties, he genuinely believed he wouldn't make it to 30. At 420 pounds, his body was sending him every warning signal imaginable. So he made a decision that would change everything.

Weight-loss surgery was the first step; a plant-based diet was the second, but as Chuck discovered, losing the weight was only the beginning. What followed was a health crisis that sent him to the hospital multiple times, left him searching desperately for answers, and ultimately led him to the Mayo Clinic.

In this episode, Chuck opens up about the physical and emotional battles that came after losing 275 pounds.

You'll also hear what Chuck would tell his 26-year-old self if he could go back. 

If you've ever felt like it's too late, like you've already tried everything, or like your body has simply given up on you, this episode is your reminder that it's not over.
