SHE BREAKS THE RULES
She Breaks the Rules is the podcast for women who are done following health “rules” that are outdated and don’t work, and are ready to rewrite the rules to suit their health and life.
Hosted by Faye Sheridan and Tarryn Williams, we will help you challenge the norms, dare you to think differently, and inspire you to take bold, self led action in your health and wellbeing.
This is about breaking free from diet culture, understanding yourself and your body and learning what health really looks like for you.
Expect raw conversations, expert insights, personal stories, and no-BS strategies on women’s health, menstrual cycle, body image, gut health, emotional eating, stress, hormones, mindset, and more.
We’re here to empower you to come home to your body, trust yourself, and take control — on your terms.
You’re only one decision away from changing your life.
Hit follow and let’s break the rules — together.
