If you’ve been doing all the “right things” but still feel weary—body and soul—this episode is for you. Bethany invites you to pause, reflect, and consider that your fatigue may not be a failure… but a sacred signal.

This is a grace-filled conversation about what it means to stop pushing through and begin practicing true rest and stress recovery—especially in the middle seasons of womanhood, where hormones, identity, and expectations are all shifting. Whether your exhaustion feels physical, emotional, or spiritual, this episode offers a gentle reset.

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

– What true stress recovery looks like in perimenopause

– Why midlife fatigue is more than just a sleep issue

– How soul exhaustion shows up in the body

– The voice of the inner critic—and how to respond differently

– A fresh invitation to reset as the seasons shift

– Why your worth was never meant to be measured by output

Reflection Invitation

Take time this week to ask:

What does rest mean for me in this season?

And where might God be gently inviting me to pause?

Let it be a conversation—not just with your schedule or your symptoms,

but with the One who restores.

About the Podcast

Nourishing Her Midlife Rest (formerly The Ingrained Living Pathway) is a faith-rooted podcast for Christian women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and the stretching seasons of midlife.

I’m Bethany—a functional nutritionist and holistic life coach—and I’m here to walk with you, body and soul, through rhythms of rest, healing, and restoration.

In each episode, we explore the deeper story behind your fatigue, untangle confusing symptoms with compassionate insight, and rediscover the sacred invitation to nourish your health and your heart from the inside out.

Because you don’t have to hustle for healing.

You just need a place to return to rest.

A gentle reflection on the pull to keep going, the struggle to stop, and the grace that comes when we return to simple practices of rest, nourishment, and presence.

This episode was recorded on a quiet drive at the end of a creative, slightly chaotic day.

In these gentle minutes, I reflect on the deep pull to keep producing—even when my body and spirit are quietly asking me to pause. There’s chamomile tea, cottage cheese, a stone wall, and the sweet noticing of one of my children. There’s also wrestling—with momentum, nourishment, screens, and the unspoken fear of what happens if I truly stop.

In all of it, I found a whisper of grace.

A return to presence.

A reminder that our bodies are not machines to be pushed—they are temples to be tended.

This episode also includes a brief, grace-filled teaching on hydration, blood sugar balance, and nervous system support—why these rhythms matter, and how they help us feel grounded and safe in our bodies. It’s a gentle entry point into functional nutrition through a Christ-centered lens.

If you’ve ever wondered how to stop when everything in you says keep going...

If you’ve ever struggled to believe that rest is allowed, even before everything’s finished...

This is for you.

May you find the courage to pause—and rest in the grace of enough.
