The Exhale And Explore Podcast
The Exhale and Explore Podcast is a wellness podcast for midlife women who are ready to live more fully, feel more deeply, and trust their next chapter.
Hosted by Anil Manley, The 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 self and collective care.
As two Black women in our second season (we turned 50 in 2025), we’re redefining what wellness and joy look like beyond the "Strong Black Woman" trope. Each episode includes an Exhale Moment, a simple restorative grounding practice, and an Explore Moment, an invitation to try something new in your own life. This is a soft, bold space to come home to yourself and expand into something more.
