About this listen

 A Christian podcast for women in their 40s and 50s navigating perimenopause, hormone shifts, and soul fatigue. Each episode is like a letter—offering grace-based encouragement and holistic healing rhythms for your body and soul.

This podcast is rooted in the real, restorative work I offer through Ingrained Living: Functional Nutrition & Holistic Hormone Health. Whether you’re feeling stretched thin by emotional overwhelm or curious about the connection between your faith, food, and fatigue—there’s space for you here.

Some episodes are poetic and reflective.
Others are practical—grounded in functional nutrition, nervous system support, and rhythms of restoration.
All are designed to help you live with intention, alignment, and grace—even in the storm.

Come walk with me.
There’s space for you here.

May you remember:
Rest isn’t something you earn.
It’s something—and Someone—you return to again and again.

This is about living from rest.
And you don’t have to do it alone.

    012 | The Waves Will Not Overcome You: 3 Healthy Coping Strategies for Midlife Grief & Overwhelm
    Sep 16 2025

    In this episode, Bethany Thomson shares 3 healthy coping strategies for midlife women walking through grief and crisis—reminding you that the waves will not overcome you.

    If you’ve ever felt undone by grief, overwhelm, or emotions that rise like turbulent waves, you are not alone.

    Bethany—a Registered Dietitian, functional nutritionist, and holistic Christian life coach—offers hope and gentle practices for weary midlife women who long to stop numbing and start resting.

    • Why emotions can feel overwhelming—and why numbing with food, wine, scrolling, or overwork leaves us emptier.
    • The truth about emotions as waves: they crest, they pass, and while they leave us changed, they do not overcome us.
    • A Scriptural anchor in Isaiah 43 to cling to when you feel undone.
    • Gentle practices to let emotions move through you instead of bracing against them.
    • Holistic care rhythms—like humming, movement, and nourishment—to support your body while you process.

    If you’ve been afraid that your feelings will sweep you away, take heart: the waves will not destroy you. The One who walks on stormy waters is with you, right in the middle of your storm.
