About this listen

Welcome to the Getting Through Today podcast. I'm Brita, come along with me as I share my story of the ups and downs through chronic illness and depression all while being a mother of five. I know healing is possible and through every phase there is beauty, even if we don't always see it at the time. I have found the beauty in being broken and have come out stronger because of it. I know what it feels like to just get through one day at a time.Brita Bigler Peterson Hygiene & Healthy Living Psychology Psychology & Mental Health

  • Caregiving — Taking Care of Both of You
    Jul 27 2025

    Episode 25: What happens when you’re the strong one — the caregiver — but your own needs quietly disappear in the process?

    In this episode, I’m joined by my very first guest… my husband, Jeff.
    Together, we open up about what caregiving really looks like behind the scenes — the emotional toll, the hidden grief, and the quiet strength it takes to support someone you love through chronic illness, depression, and uncertainty.

    Whether you’re a caregiver, the one being cared for, or somewhere in between — this conversation is for you.

    You are not invisible. You are not alone. And both of you deserve care.

  • Reclaiming Your Power — Why I Created the SHIFT Program
    Jul 13 2025

    Episode 24: There was a time I felt broken beyond repair — like healing was out of reach and I had nothing left to give.

    But little by little, I found my way back to myself… not by forcing a miracle, but by making small, intentional shifts.


    This episode is the full, raw, heart-led story behind my SHIFT program — why I created it, what it stands for, and how it’s helping people stop surviving and start healing from the inside out.


    Whether you’re stuck in burnout, carrying pain that won’t go away, or just quietly craving something more…

    SHIFT is the program I wish I had during my darkest days.


    🧡 In this episode, we’ll explore:


    The 5 pillars of SHIFT and how they create real, lasting transformation

    Why I believe healing doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful

    What it means to reclaim your voice, your worth, and your identity — even in the mess

    A message for the version of you that’s tired, unseen, or barely holding on

    You don’t have to do it all today. You just have to take one small step.

    Let this be it. 💛

  • Where Is the Ease? Finding Peace When Life Gets Louder
    Jul 6 2025

    Episode 23

    This one’s for the beautiful warriors who chose hope… and still got heartbreak.

    What happens when you pick a word like “Abundance” or “Ease” for the year —

    and life gives you the opposite?


    In this raw, reflective episode, I share what happened when I asked the universe for a softer year — and instead found myself holding more pain than ever. But somewhere in the middle of the mess, I started seeing abundance in a new light. Not flashy. Not perfect. But real.


    ✨ We’ll talk about:

    – What to do when your intentions feel like they backfire

    – How ease can show up in the smallest, quietest ways

    – Redefining abundance in a season of survival

    – A simple breathwork moment to reconnect with yourself

    – Why you’re not doing it wrong if life still feels hard


    This is not a “toxic positivity” episode — it’s an invitation to breathe, to feel, and to start noticing the beauty that whispers… even here.


    You’re not behind. You’re right where you need to be.


    💛 Let’s get through today, together.
