Let’s be real: “aging with grace” sounds lovely… but what does it actually mean? And more importantly—does it even reflect how you want to live the next chapter of your life?

This isn’t about fading quietly into the background. It’s about claiming your energy, your body’s wisdom, and the life you want to live now.

If you’re done with outdated health advice and ready to navigate this season with clarity, confidence, and cheeky joy—this one’s for you.

The You Being You Podcast is your space to rediscover the wisdom already within your body—especially after 50. Hosted by Holistic Health Mentor Stephanie Huntjens White, this podcast is for women who are done forcing themselves to fit into a narrative that doesn't quite feel right.

Imagine your body’s signals are puzzle pieces, but you’ve been trying to fit them into the wrong box. They don’t make sense, they don’t seem to fit, and you end up feeling out of sync. But what if those pieces actually belong to a different puzzle—a map to your most authentic self?

In each episode, we’ll explore the science, stories, and energy behind your symptoms, helping you unlock the hidden clues your body’s been sending. It’s time to stop forcing things that don’t fit and start putting the right pieces together, creating a picture of true alignment and well-being.

Because thriving isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about understanding where each piece fits and embracing the full picture of you.
