What do you do when life keeps asking more of you… and you’re already tired?
In this powerful and grounding episode of the Happy Healthy Her Podcast, Tracey Male is joined by licensed social worker, author, and healing-centered leadership strategist Tashia Martin for a deeply human conversation about navigating grief, stress, burnout, and major life transitions—without losing yourself in the process.
Tashia is the creator of the R.O.O.T.E.D. Framework and the author of New Leaf, an Amazon #1 New Release designed to support people through life’s transitions with self-compassion and purpose.
Together with co-hosts Cynthia and Lorraine, this episode explores how to stay grounded when life feels overwhelming, how to honor pain without letting it define you, and how healing can be both gentle and practical.
This episode is especially for the woman who:
- Feels emotionally or physically exhausted but still has to show up
Is navigating grief, change, burnout, or a “messy middle” season
- Wants permission to slow down without falling behind
- Is craving grounded, compassionate tools that actually work in real life
In this episode, we explore:
✨ What healing-centered leadership really means
✨ The R.O.O.T.E.D. Framework and how it supports wellness during change
✨ How to honor pain without making it your identity
✨ Leading yourself (and others) with compassion—without burning out
✨ How New Leaf supports life transitions in a gentle, honest way
✨ Practical tools you can use today, even when you’re overwhelmed
✨ A simple 7-day self-honoring challenge anyone can do
This is not about pushing through or pretending you’re fine.
It’s about meeting yourself where you are—and choosing to come back to yourself with compassion.
This Week’s Challenge:
For the next 7 days, start your day by writing one sentence:
“Today, I’m honoring myself by ________.”
No pressure. One sentence. That’s it.
