This Thing Called Wellness
🎙️ Welcome to This Thing Called Wellness — a heart-centered space where women over 40 come to heal, empower, and connect—one meaningful conversation at a time.
I’m Shannon D. Martin, Certified Health & Wellness Coach, host, and a woman rediscovering herself after years of showing up for everyone else. After more than a decade of navigating anxiety, depression, and burnout, I chose to pause, pour into my own healing, and start again. 💚
Now, I’m learning to define wellness in a way that honors what feels right for me not by outside expectations, but by my own rhythm. And I’m inviting you to do the same.
Every other Wednesday, I sit down with guests who have lived through transformation or are creating healing spaces where others can rise. Some are women rebuilding their lives. Others are leaders, guides, and change-makers helping women rediscover who they are through support, storytelling, and soul work.
Together, we explore real stories, heartfelt wisdom, and gentle tools to support your emotional, spiritual, mental, and physical wellness.
✨ If you’ve ever asked, “Who am I now?”—this space is for you.
Tune in on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio, Amazon Music, or wherever you listen.
đź’Ś Subscribe to Your Rhythm, our nurturing newsletter, at thisthingcalledwellness.com, and follow @thisthingcalledwellness on Instagram and YouTube for soft encouragement and soulful support.
Because your wellness doesn’t follow a timeline or a checklist.
It flows. It evolves.
Wellness is a rhythm—not a destination.
And we’re walking it together. 🌿
