The Transit Lounge Podcast hosted by Shandra Moran

If you’re a midlife woman feeling tired, overwhelmed, or confused about what “self-care” should actually look like, this episode is for you. Shandra and functional health coach Julie Ingleton break self-care down into simple, supportive habits that help you feel better without striving for perfection.

EPISODE 188| 48:50 minutes

In this episode, Shandra is joined by functional health coach and nutritionist Julie Ingleton for a grounded, refreshing conversation about self-care during one of the busiest (and most social) times of the year.

Julie shares her deeply personal journey into health coaching and why midlife women often feel exhausted, confused, and overwhelmed by conflicting wellness advice.

Together, they unpack why self-care isn’t about quick fixes or perfection, but about coming back to simple, supportive habits that actually work with your body.

From light exposure and nourishment to navigating social events without guilt, this episode is full of practical insights that feel doable – especially when life and business already feel full.

Key Takeaways:
  1. Why “simple” works: The small, often-overlooked habits that can dramatically improve energy, sleep, and focus.
  2. The power of daily rhythms: How light, food timing, and gentle movement support your nervous system and hormones.
  3. Social seasons without guilt: Smart ways to enjoy events without overdoing food, alcohol, or self-judgment.
  4.  All or something: How lowering the bar helps you care for yourself consistently – even in busy seasons.

You’ll also hear about a free one-page Self-Care Traffic Light Review you can download to map out your own simple self care steps.
