This Thing Called Wellness

🎙️ Welcome to This Thing Called Wellness — Helping Women Heal, Rediscover, and Reclaim Their Joy—One Conversation at a Time.

I’m Shannon Martin—Certified Health and Wellness Coach, mental health advocate, and a woman who's spent over 11 years healing through depression, anxiety, and panic disorder. 💚

Now in this new season of life, I’m rediscovering who I am beyond the roles I’ve held—mother, caregiver, wife—and reconnecting with the woman I’m becoming. This Thing Called Wellness was born from that journey. It's a heart-centered space for women navigating life transitions, burnout, or simply figuring out what comes next in this “other half” of life.

Every other Wednesday, join me for soul-stirring conversations with inspiring guests and women who’ve walked through the fire and found healing on the other side. Together, we share real stories, gentle wisdom, and practical tools to help you reconnect with yourself—emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and physically. 🌿

Whether you’re rebuilding your life, reclaiming your peace, or just beginning to ask, “Who am I now?”—you are not alone. This space is for you. ✨

Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio, Amazon Music, YouTube, and wherever you tune in.

Here’s to healing, rediscovery, and embracing your next chapter—together. 🌟

Melissa Flynt

Melissa Flynt is a wife and mother of three grown children with a background in public and home education. Her wellness journey began with a personal health scare that changed her life. After consulting specialists, she discovered that her pain was linked to anxiety and harmful xenoestrogens in her environment. This led her to seek safer, natural solutions and educate herself on the impact of toxins in everyday household products.

Equipped with a degree in Psychology, Melissa now uses her expertise to guide others on their wellness journeys. She shares the 'cliff notes' version of her research, making it easier for people to understand the dangers of toxins in everyday household products. Passionate about advocating for natural cleaning products, healthier foods, and supplements that support gut health, Melissa is committed to raising awareness and empowering others to take simple steps toward a healthier, toxin-free life.
