The Exhale And Explore Podcast
The Exhale and Explore Podcast is a wellness podcast for midlife women ready to live more fully, feel more deeply, and trust their next chapter.
Hosted by Anil Manley, MindBody Counselor and former stylist, and Lauren Fain, Holistic Nurse and former model, this podcast offers real-talk conversations rooted in rest, reflection, and radical care, for self and community.
As two Black women who turned 50 in 2025, Anil and Lauren are redefining what wellness and joy look like beyond the Strong Black Woman trope.
Each episode includes an Exhale Moment, a restorative grounding practice, and an Explore Moment, an invitation to try something new. A soft, bold space to come home to yourself.
