Grace & Grit Podcast Courtney Townley

Sleep is where so much of the magic that keeps us healthy takes place and there are so many reasons we struggle to get enough good quality sleep at midlife. Enter Dr. Leigha Saunders who specializes in helping women sleep better so they can spend more time on what matters to them MOST.
With over a decade of experience in women’s health, Leigha’s innovative approach to solving sleep struggles intertwines hormone health and nervous system regulation to focus on the deeper reasons so many of us lie awake at night. Leigha is on a mission to help women lead their lives from a place of alignment and authenticity during the day so they can go to bed feeling fulfilled to rest easy at night.

One of the most common things I coach midlife women on in my coaching practice is integrity pain, the very real discomfort that shows up mentally, emotionally and even physically, when we are not living as truly authentic and fully expressed humans.
There is no shortage of things that cause integrity pain, of course, but in this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast I challenge you to consider how suppression rather than expression may be causing YOU integrity pain.
Maybe you struggle to…
Speak up on matters that are important to you?
Share your creative impulse for fear of being judged?
Reinforce boundaries when boundaries have been violated?
Or maybe you suppress your truth in some other way that is causing you a lot of internal conflict.
Join me for this episode to dive deeper into ways we suppress our truth, and more importantly, how to STOP doing that so we can age more power-fully.

Attention, ladies! It’s time to rethink our approach to health and wellness if we want to age power-fully.
Our bodies undergo profound changes as we cross the midlife threshold, with the departure of crucial hormones like estrogen and progesterone making us less resilient to stress.
Ignoring this reality makes the pursuit of powerful aging an uphill battle.
Join me in this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, where I help you to consider:
The physiological shifts that demand our respect for a powerful aging journey. The profound ways our health approaches unknowingly add to our stress levels. Strategies to remain attuned to our overall stress load and leveraging this insight to inform our wellness strategies. You can listen here: https://graceandgrit.com/podcast-357

To say that most women I have coached over the years have “a complicated relationship with their bodies” would be a massive understatement. In fact, it is a rarity that I work with a woman who has a healthy relationship with her body.
What is a healthy relationship with the body? Well, that is precisely the topic of this week’s podcast episode.
In this episode, specifically, I cover:
Body beliefs and how they impact every dimension of your life. How to edit the story you are telling yourself about your body. Strategies for improving the relationship you have with your body. … and so much more.
If you are a woman who would like to improve the relationship you have with your body, do not miss this episode!
