This is StRest! Dr. Eva Selhub is a physician and former director at Harvard’s Mind-Body Medical Institute who teaches a radically practical truth: stress is a neutral signal, not a life sentence. In this episode, she explains stress physiology and allostatic load, why midlife shifts can dysregulate sleep, mood, and metabolism, and how to build true resilience with breath, self-compassion, variability, and spiritual connection.

Eva breaks down what changes in our bodies—neuro-endocrine-immune shifts, loss of estrogen, sleep disruption—and how to respond. We cover “puffs of appreciation,” the SHIELD meditation, mindful mornings and strict sleep hygiene, when HIIT backfires in burnout, and the core nutrition/supplement basics most people miss.

If you’ve been told “you’re fine” when you know you’re not, or you’re stuck in negative loops despite doing “all the things,” start here. This is for the woman who wants less white-knuckling and more bounce-back—one small, doable practice at a time.

This is StRest! Debbie Allen Wright is my go-to when my body starts sending signals that something’s off. She’s a board-certified functional health coach who cuts through the overwhelm of midlife metabolism, weight gain, and hormone confusion with clarity and compassion. In this episode, we dig into the truth behind slowing metabolism, how to build lean muscle mass after 40, and why “you’re just getting older” is not an acceptable diagnosis.

Debbie breaks down the changes happening in our bodies—loss of estrogen, muscle, and sleep quality—and gives us practical steps to reclaim our energy. From lifting heavy-for-you weights to walking after meals, collagen in your coffee, and even a new trick with apple cider vinegar before bed, this is full-body health that meets you where you are.

If your doctor’s ever said “you’re fine” when you know you’re not, or if you’re tired of trying everything and seeing no change, start here. This one’s for the woman who knows she deserves better—and is ready to take the next small step.

This is StRest! In this deeply personal and spiritually rich episode, host Kerstin Lindquist invites you into the sacred practice of Sabbath—what it means, how to reclaim it, and why it might be the missing key to your spiritual, emotional, and physical recovery.

In this episode, host Kerstin Lindquist welcomes Sarah for a future-facing conversation (literally—from Australia!) about overstimulation, chronic stress, and the underestimated power of recovery.

This is StRest! Meet Mally Roncal—celebrity makeup artist, “positivity preacher,” and devoted Christian mom raising three teenage girls (one proudly in the LGBTQ+ community). In this episode, host Kerstin Lindquist and Mally dive into the hard-won lessons behind joyful living: surrendering control to God, finding pockets of happy in grief, pushing back on toxic church culture, and loving your children—exactly as God created them.

This is StRest! In Part Two of her most personal series yet, Kerstin Lindquist returns to share the continuation of her family’s story—this time focusing on the deep emotional journey of adoption, the trauma of miscarriage, and the decision to get attached even when everything could fall apart.

With honesty, heartbreak, and hard-won perspective, Kerstin opens up about failed adoptions, lost pregnancies, and the emotional labor of parenting a child who might not stay. She speaks directly to anyone navigating this road—parents, relatives, and friends—and offers real guidance on how to talk about adoption, support grieving families, and celebrate every part of a child’s identity.

From hospital rooms to courtroom finalizations, from whispered secrets to joy shouted from the rooftops, this episode is a love letter to the families we choose and the faith that keeps us going.

Major Themes & Concepts

✅ The emotional toll of adoption and infertility

✅ Why getting attached is an act of love, not risk

✅ What not to say: real talk about adoption language

✅ The spiritual and physical cost of miscarriage

✅ Why “real parent” is the wrong phrase—and what to say instead

✅ Breastfeeding, bonding, and attachment for adopted babies

✅ Celebrating identity: race, roots, and real belonging

✅ Why joy shouldn't wait for certainty

Chapter Breakdown

00:00 – “We should never hide adoption. It’s beautiful.”
