The Woman of Wellness Podcast

In this powerful episode of The Woman of Wellness Podcast, I sit down with D'Layne Benson, a registered nurse and breath work facilitator specializing in helping women navigate midlife overwhelm. Together, we explore the unique challenges women face during perimenopause and midlife, including stress, hormone changes, and the cultural pressure to "do it all."

D'Layne shares her personal story of overcoming burnout and how nervous system regulation can transform the way we approach stress, overwhelm, and the demands of life.

✅ What happens to a woman’s body during perimenopause and how it impacts physical and emotional health.
✅ The link between stress, nervous system dysregulation, and symptoms like brain fog, weight gain, and digestive issues.
✅ Why nervous system regulation is more effective than typical “stress management” techniques.
✅ Practical methods to start regulating your nervous system today, including breathwork and mindful practices.

Expert-Led Masterclasses with top health professionals, including a guided breath work session by D'layne Benson.
