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She Breaks the Rules is the podcast for women who are done following health “rules” that are outdated and don’t work, and are ready to rewrite the rules to suit their health and life.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.
SHE BREAKS THE RULES
EP #50: Life Updates - Pregnancy at 38, Marriage at 41 & Listener Questions
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In today’s episode, we’re doing something a little different.
Instead of diving straight into a health topic, we wanted to bring you behind the scenes of our lives and share some big personal updates that have been unfolding recently.
Because the truth is… health, wellbeing and personal growth don’t happen in isolation. They happen within the real life experiences we navigate every day.
And right now, there are some big life transitions happening for both of us.
Tarryn shares the exciting news that she’s pregnant at 38 and reflects on what this moment means after waiting to find the right person to start a family with plus years of doing the work on her health, gut health and body image.
Faye shares that she recently got married at 41, opening up about overcoming the stigma around divorce, being honest about what she truly wanted and allowing herself to fully embrace love again.
This episode is a reminder that life rarely follows the timeline society expects and that’s exactly what breaking the rules is all about.
We also answer two listener questions around:
- Managing PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder)
- How to restart your health journey when you feel like you’re constantly starting over.
If you’ve ever felt behind in life, stuck in a health cycle or unsure where to start again, this episode will give you both perspective and practical steps forward.
Because your timeline doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.
