Shelley gets you ready for another season of great food and wonderful conversion at the best restaurants in Washington DC. It's Lunch with Shelley!

Welcome to the latest episode of Lunch with Shelley! Our super interesting guest is Delayna Watkins, who is the CEO of Total Woman Wellness, Inc., a comprehensive health enterprise dedicated to women's midlife wellness and healthy aging. As a board-certified registered nurse with extensive clinical and leadership expertise, she has gained recognition in the health and wellness industry, earning numerous community and national awards, including the prestigious Governor's Citation award for her unwavering commitment to healthcare.

​She is also a three-time Amazon Best-selling author and the national TV Show Host of the Women's Wellness Lounge Show. Her influence extends beyond written work and TV, since she has been featured in People Magazine (where I first learned about her), The Steve Harvey Morning Show, the Dr. Oz Show, Fox 45, and numerous other local and national platforms.

In her most recent endeavor, the "Menopause Experience" program, Delayna is determined to empower women to embrace their femininity during this natural life stage. Her presentation style is not only engaging but also highly educational, embracing a holistic approach that deeply resonates with audiences, providing a truly transformative experience.
