What if slowing down isn’t falling behind? 👀

Episode 204: When Stress Lives in Your Body: Burnout, Healing & Finding Your Way Back

We spend so much time talking about what we need to do to feel better …what about learning how to actually calm our bodies, regulate stress and give our nervous systems a chance to breathe?

This Monday on Happily Healed w/ Tenille, I’m talking with Tanisha |Women's Wellness Empowerment Coach🌱 Tanisha Naughton, a Personal trainer, Qi Gong Instructor, Retreat Host and Stress Relief/Burnout Coach.

I met Tanisha through a hiking group she hosts, which makes this conversation even more fitting because we’re also talking about something I think we don’t talk about enough:

COMMUNITY.

We’re getting into:

✨ How Tanisha found Qi Gong

✨ What nervous system regulation actually looks like

✨ Movement, meditation & breathing for stress relief

✨ Burnout and what our bodies may be trying to tell us

✨ Why community matters for our well-being

✨ And how you can work with Tanisha

And because I’m me… 😂 we’re also going to talk about what it’s like to meet somebody through a hiking group and somehow end up putting them on your podcast.

Come hang out with us!

📅 Monday, August 24, 2026

⏰ 12 PM EST

📍 LIVE on Facebook, Instagram & YouTube simultaneously

After we go LIVE, the episode will be available on Spotify & Apple Podcasts so you can listen whenever you want.

Bring your questions, your experiences with stress and burnout, and just maybe… unclench your jaw. 😂

Episode 203: The Right Time Isn’t Coming 😂 Stop Waiting & Start Living

I’ve been in my “respectfully, girl… what are we waiting for?” era lately. 😂

You keep waiting for an easier moment.

But the right time isn’t coming.

You’re not failing because it’s hard.

EVERYTHING is hard.

At some point, we CAN stop treating our goals like a wish list and start treating them like a GET-TO-DO list.

Because hard doesn’t automatically mean you’re failing.

Sometimes… hard is just hard.

This isn’t about beating yourself up or pretending chronic illness, exhaustion, responsibilities, and real-life circumstances don’t exist either.

It’s about asking a different question:

“What CAN I do with what I have right now?”

Because eventually, we get to stop waiting for perfect circumstances to start living the life we’re asking God for.

This Monday, we’re talking about priorities, follow-through, imperfect circumstances, and what it really looks like to stop waiting for permission…or perfect timing to live the life you want.

🥄 You Can’t Pour From an Empty Spoon

Boundaries, Expectations & Protecting Your Energy

Have you ever wanted to help EVERYONE…’

…but realized you were running out of energy to help yourself? 😩😂

As people living with chronic illness, many of us already have to carefully manage our time, energy, health, responsibilities, relationships, and expectations.

But what happens when people need more from us than we realistically have to give?

How do we show up for the people and communities we love without abandoning our physical, mental, or emotional needs?

This week, we’re having an honest conversation about:

💜 Setting boundaries without feeling guilty

💜 Managing expectations when your energy is limited

💜 The difference between being helpful and being constantly available

💜 Saying “not right now” without feeling like a bad person

💜 Protecting your peace while still living with purpose

💜 Why rest is not selfish

💜 How to recognize when giving is becoming draining

Because you can love people…

You can care deeply…

You can be committed to a mission…

…and still have limits.

Your boundaries are not proof that you don’t care.

Sometimes boundaries are how you make sure you can continue caring without burning yourself out.

Finding Your Voice | Advocacy, Diagnosis & Living with Chronic Illness

I can’t believe we’re here…

Episode TWO HUNDRED! 🥳🎉

What better way to celebrate this milestone than by welcoming a guest who’s using her voice to make the chronic illness community stronger.

This week, I’m honored to be joined by Ali Demers, a chronic & iconic patient advocate, creator of The Chronic Conversation podcast, and founder of the Disability Inclusion Romance Book Club.

After a lifetime of symptoms and an eight-year journey to diagnosis, Ali now lives with Endometriosis, MCAS, Fibromyalgia, and hEDS. Instead of allowing those diagnoses to define her, she’s become a powerful advocate, even testifying in support of Arizona Senate Bill 1270 to help protect patients from predatory healthcare practices.

Book club:

https://fable.co/club/disability-romance-with-alexandria-demers-317964576388

In this milestone episode, we’ll discuss:

💜 Ali’s long road to diagnosis

💜 Living with multiple chronic illnesses

💜 How to advocate for yourself..even when you’re exhausted

💜 The importance of representation in the disability community

💜 Building community through The Chronic Conversation podcast

💜 Disability inclusion in her Romance Book Club

💜 Finding your voice, your purpose, and your people

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, still searching for answers, or years into your journey, I hope this conversation reminds you that your voice matters and that you’re never alone in the fight.

💜 A Special Opportunity to Help

Before I go, I'd like to ask our amazing community to come together for someone who could use a little extra support.

A dear client of one of my coaching clients, Kayla, is recovering from surgery while continuing to pursue her dream of becoming a nurse. As you can imagine, recovery has also brought unexpected financial challenges.

If you're able, would you consider making a donation or sharing her GoFundMe with others?

No amount is too small, and even sharing her story could help connect her with someone who is able to give.

💜 Donate or share here:

DISCLAIMER: YOU ARE LISTENING TO A LIVE PODCAST. VERY LITTLE TO NO EDITING HAS BEEN APPLIED . ENJOY THE REALITY!

🎉 Party Like It’s Episode 199! 😂

(Yes… I had to say it at least once. 🤣)

But in all seriousness…

How much of your life have you spent waiting?

Waiting until you’re healthier.

Waiting until you have more energy.

Waiting until you have more money.

Waiting until you’re less afraid.

Waiting until you’re more confident.

Waiting until life finally feels “perfect.”

What if that day never comes?

What if the permission you’ve been waiting for… is permission from yourself?

This week, we’re talking about why so many of us..ESPECIALLY those living with chronic illness…put our dreams, goals, joy, and purpose on hold while we wait for the “right” time.

🎙️ In this episode we’ll discuss:

💜 Why we wait

💜 Fear disguised as preparation

💜 The permission we’ve been looking for

💜 Choosing progress over perfection

💜 Living now…not “someday”

Here’s your reminder:

✨ You don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin.

✨ You don’t have to earn permission to live a meaningful life.

✨ Your diagnosis doesn’t get the final say.

So yes… today we’re gonna party like it’s Episode 199. 😂🎉

Title: When Healing Feels Scarier Than Being Sick

What if one of the hardest parts of healing… isn’t the illness?

What if it’s learning to believe you’re allowed to dream again?

After living with chronic illness for years, I realized something that surprised me:

Sometimes helplessness feels safer than hope.

Because if you’ve spent so long adjusting your life around limitations, doctor’s appointments, flares, setbacks, and survival… the thought of becoming successful, healthy, or stepping into a bigger life can feel surprisingly intimidating.

Not because you don’t want it.

But because it’s unfamiliar.

In this week’s solo episode, we’re having an honest conversation about the identity shifts that can happen as we heal and grow.

We’ll talk about:

💜 Why success can feel uncomfortable after years of survival

💜 Releasing the identity of “the sick person”

💜 Fear of losing progress or getting sick again

💜 Learning to dream beyond your diagnosis

💜 Why hope can feel vulnerable

💜 Choosing growth even when it feels unfamiliar

Healing isn’t just about your body.

Sometimes it’s about believing you’re worthy of the life you’ve been praying for.

Be the ICON Within | Faith, Purpose & Thriving Through Adversity

I’m especially excited about this week’s guest because this conversation is personal.

Since April 2023, I’ve had the incredible privilege of working with Derron Walker as my mentor. He’s challenged me to think bigger, lead with purpose, strengthen my faith, and continue building a life that isn’t defined by my diagnosis.

When life knocked him down, Derron had a choice.

After being laid off from his hospital job March 3, 2012, facing uncertainty and financial hardship, he decided to take control of his future. Today, he’s a seven-figure entrepreneur, founder of BeICONIC WORLD, and has made it his life’s mission to help others discover the best version of themselves through faith, purpose, and action.

In this episode, we’re diving into conversations that matter:

💜 Building a life of purpose after setbacks

💜 Faith and trusting God’s plan

💜 What it’s like mentoring someone living with chronic illness

💜 Parenting a child with eczema and supporting a loved one through health challenges

💜 Leadership through adversity

💜 Breaking free from limiting beliefs

💜 Becoming the person God created you to be

Whether you’re rebuilding after a diagnosis, chasing a dream, growing your business, or simply trying to become a better version of yourself, this conversation will encourage you to keep moving forward.

EPISODE 196 | HAPPILY HEALED W/ TENILLE PODCAST 💜

Showing Up Anyway: Purpose Doesn’t Wait for Perfect Circumstances

Life has a funny way of reminding us that there’s never a “perfect” time.

This past week has been full of highs, reflections, and reminders. I celebrated another masterclass, I spent time at a business training, and as another one of my dad’s birthdays just passed, I’ve found myself thinking a lot about legacy and the people who inspire us to keep going.

One moment that really stuck with me was watching one of our trainers pour into a room full of people while quietly battling cancer.

It reminded me of something we often forget:

You never know what someone is carrying.

And you don’t have to have a perfect life to live a purposeful one.

🎙️ This week, we’re talking about:

💜 Showing up even when life feels hard

💜 Finding purpose in imperfect seasons

💜 Why waiting for the “right time” keeps us stuck

💜 What chronic illness has taught me about resilience

💜 Grace, growth, and moving forward one step at a time

Because sometimes showing up doesn’t look like standing on a stage.

Sometimes it looks like getting out of bed.

Keeping a promise to yourself.

Taking the next small step.

Choosing hope one more time.

Purpose doesn’t require perfect circumstances.

It simply asks us to keep showing up.

DISCLAIMER: YOU ARE LISTENING TO A LIVE PODCAST. VERY LITTLE TO NO EDITING HAS BEEN APPLIED . ENJOY THE REALITY!

Life doesn’t always go according to plan.

Sometimes schedules change.

Sometimes opportunities appear unexpectedly.

Sometimes people cancel.

Sometimes our bodies need rest.

And sometimes we’re sitting up late the night before a podcast episode realizing that flexibility might just be the lesson. 😂💜

This week, I’m sharing a real conversation about navigating unexpected life shifts, chronic illness, changing plans, and learning how to move forward without needing everything to be perfect.

🎙️ TOPIC:

When Life Doesn’t Go According to Plan | Flexibility, Grace & Moving Forward Anyway

We’ll be discussing:

💜 Adapting when plans change

💜 Chronic illness and unpredictability

💜 Letting go of perfection

💜 Finding opportunities in detours

💜 Giving yourself grace

💜 Continuing to move forward even when the path looks different than expected

Because healing isn’t about having complete control.

Sometimes healing is learning to trust yourself when life gets messy.
