Midlife Made Simple: Purpose and Peace for Faith-Filled Women

#182 Breathwork, Protein & Letting Go of Control: A Faith-Based Approach to Midlife Health with Rebecca Stonhill

Episode Notes

Have you ever followed every plan, hit every macro, finished every hard workout — and still felt completely disconnected from your own body? What if the missing piece isn't more discipline? What if it's learning to listen?

In this episode, I sit down with my personal nutrition and breathwork coach, Rebecca Stonhill, owner of EnVie Fitness Nutrition and Wellness in Meridian, Idaho. Rebecca left a 20-year corporate HR career to follow God's call to help women build strength, balance, and confidence from the inside out — and her faith-based approach has genuinely been the most transformative thing I've done in 2026.

What we cover:

• What "embodiment" actually means — and how to practice it practically
• The biggest nutrition mistakes midlife women make (food jail, all-or-nothing, and not eating enough)
• Why hitting 100g of protein daily and going 1% better beats every fad diet
• What faith-based breathwork actually looks like — prayer, worship music, and nervous system regulation
• How breathwork helped me fall back asleep in the middle of the night for the first time in years
• Why "when we feel, we can heal" changes everything
• Rebecca's free breathwork session offer in the Breathing Room

Rebecca's one takeaway: Stop white-knuckling life. What would it look like to take three minutes, breathe, and trust that God has something for you there?
