Episode 2 - Interview with Tonya Shepley: How she found herself again after the unexpected loss of her son

In this episode, Tonya Shepley shares how she found herself again after losing her son unexpectedly and the grief surrounding that loss.
This is her first podcast interview and not only am I honored that she chose Midlife Is A Fickle Bitch! to share her inspirational story but that she found the courage to be open and vulnerable.
Tonya has worked in the health and nutrition field for over 25 years and has earned her Plant Based certificate from eCornell University.
She has partnered with medical professionals and businesses to help educate their patients and employees in the area of whole food nutrition by providing special educational seminars at their facilities.
Her passion lies in wellness education. Tonya believes that the greatest medicine of all is to educate and inspire people to take control of their own health with whole food nutrition and a healthy lifestyle.
Tonya's a mom, wife, entrepreneur, and midlife achiever.

ABOUT ME
I'm Cherie Faus-Smith also known as The Feisty Midlife Courage Coach.
My joyful spirt and fun approach to helping midlife women live an unapologetic life is my superpower.
Midlife has many challenges and leaves most of us feeling lonely, depressed, invisible, unfulfilled, confused, and anxious.
My specialty is helping midlife women become confident badasses by teaching them how to say NO without the guilt (aka stop people pleasing behaviors), finding their true purpose, creating a clearer sense of self-identity, walking away from toxic relationships and creating healthy boundaries, overcoming that invisible feeling that others aren't taking them seriously, finding approval within themselves instead of looking for it from others, and most importantly, not taking life too seriously.
My coaching style is different because I'm all about having fun. And yes, you can have fun while doing the hard work.
At this stage of our lives, we shouldn't be sitting in the corner like Baby in Dirty Dancing.
Grab my hand and let me show you how to live unapologetically in midlife.
