EP #4 — The Body Shift: Transforming Your Health & Wellness After 40

What happens when you stop fighting your body… and finally start listening to her?

In this deeply personal episode of Level 40: The Rebirth Edition, Shavon opens up about the emotional, physical, and spiritual shifts that come with health and wellness after 40. From body image struggles and emotional eating to fibroids, healing naturally, fitness, motherhood, aging, and self-forgiveness — this episode is an honest conversation about learning to love the body that carried you through life.

This isn’t just about losing weight.
 It’s about rebuilding your relationship with yourself.

In this episode, we discuss:

•  Body image and learning to stop shrinking yourself 
•  Emotional eating and healing your relationship with food 
•  Fibroids, womanhood, and trusting God through uncertainty 
•  Why wellness after 40 looks different 
•  Fitness, walking, weight training, and preparing for a 5K 
•  Learning to nourish your body instead of punishing it 
•  Letting go of society’s expectations of aging 
•  Stepping into your vibrant era unapologetically 

Plus, Shavon shares a powerful “Dear Body” reflection that challenges listeners to rethink the way they speak to themselves.

Featured Scripture:
 Psalm 139:14
 “I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”

Because turning 40 doesn’t mean life is over…
 It means you’re just getting started.

EP #3 — Betting on Yourself: What 75 Hard Taught Me About Discipline, Failure & Starting Again

What happens when you get tired of abandoning yourself?

In Episode 3 of Level 40: The Rebirth Edition, we’re having an honest conversation about discipline, self-trust, starting over, and what it really means to bet on yourself — even after setbacks.

This episode goes beyond fitness and dives into the deeper transformation behind my 75 Hard journey. From failed attempts, public restarts, and burnout to rebuilding confidence, creating healthier habits, and learning grace, this conversation is for anyone who has ever felt stuck, discouraged, or afraid to begin again.

We’re talking about:

✨ self-discipline vs. self-punishment
 ✨ rebuilding trust with yourself
 ✨ overcoming the shame of starting over
 ✨ giving yourself grace during growth
 ✨ why sustainable change matters more than perfection
 ✨ learning to choose yourself again

Plus, I’m sharing a personal announcement about restarting 75 Hard on June 1st and why this time I’m approaching the journey differently.

Featured scripture: Galatians 6:9
“Let us not become weary in doing good…”

Because your comeback doesn’t begin when life gets easier…
 it begins the moment you stop giving up on yourself.

Welcome to Level 40: The Rebirth Edition — a reflective lifestyle podcast for women rebuilding, rediscovering themselves, and learning how to become unapologetically who they were always meant to be.

Hosted by Shavon Speaks, this weekly podcast is where we have honest conversations about healing after survival mode, rediscovering your identity, rebuilding your confidence, and learning how to finally choose yourself.

Every Monday, we start the week together grounded in growth, faith, reflection, and real life.

This podcast is deeply personal.

What started as a desire to simply “find myself again” after 40 slowly became a journey of healing, rebuilding, and learning how to stop shrinking to fit the expectations of everyone else.

Because somewhere between motherhood, relationships, responsibility, survival mode, and showing up for everybody else… many women lose connection with themselves.

And this space is about reclaiming that connection.

Here, we talk about:
✨ faith and purpose
✨ rebuilding after heartbreak, burnout, or disappointment
✨ finances, credit, wellness, and self-growth
✨ motherhood, identity, and relationships
✨ healing publicly and honestly
✨ learning how to take yourself seriously again

But more than anything…

This podcast is about becoming.

Becoming the version of yourself who stops waiting for permission.
The version of yourself who trusts her voice.
The version of yourself who starts making decisions aligned with peace, purpose, and growth — even before everything feels certain.

Because growth doesn’t always look glamorous.

Sometimes it looks like:
starting over,
setting boundaries,
going to therapy,
trying new things,
taking yourself out,
healing in private,
and learning how to stop abandoning yourself.

If you’ve outgrown a version of your life, your identity, or the roles people placed on you… you’re in the right place.

If you’re learning how to trust yourself again… you’re in the right place.

If you’re rebuilding after survival mode and trying to figure out who you are now… you’re not alone.

New episodes drop every Monday.

And soon, each episode will also include downloadable reflection worksheets and self-growth exercises to help you continue the journey beyond the conversation.

So grab your coffee, tea, journal, or simply a quiet moment for yourself…

Welcome to Level 40: The Rebirth Edition.

And remember:

✨ Your story is not over.
✨ There is no shame in becoming.
✨ And we are ascending unapologetically.
