My Stressful, Sleepless, Self-Care Story

Welcome to the sixty-first episode of the Healthy Body Podcast (previously known as the “Be Healthy and Thrive Podcast”.)

My name is Brianna Wilkerson from Made Well, holistic coaching practice designed to empower others to be healthy and thrive in all areas of their lives.

I am a Holistic Health and Life Coach, Essential Oils Advocate, and a Crossfit-Level 1 Trainer with a heart to empower women to have a healthy body and a healthy life. I love seeing women care for their bodies through proper nutrition, consistent exercise, managing stress, sleeping well, digesting foods well, reducing their toxic load, caring for their mindset and habits. However, because I truly believe that your entire life impacts your physical health and vice versa, I also help women be healthy and thrive in their emotional, mental, spiritual, relational, financial and vocational health.

It is my absolute delight and pleasure to bring you this podcast and share with you all my heart and soul around truly being healthy and thriving in all areas of your life!

This sixty-first episode starts us off on a series focused on helping you stress less and sleep more, so that you can truly have a healthy body and a healthy life.

  • My realization of how lack of sleep + eating too much processed foods and carbohydrates can wreak havoc on your body
