Head 2 Toe Strength Presents

UpLift Women’s Wellness is co-hosted by Bethany Busch, CSCS and Auria Zahed, LMFT—two millennial women with Master of Science degrees, lived experience, and a shared mission to flip the wellness script.

Season 1 explores the emotional realities behind strength, therapy, body image, exhaustion, and the pressure to perform womanhood a certain way. From rebuilding after breakdowns to redefining motherhood, dating, and leadership, we get loud (and honest) about what it means to care for yourself in a world that rarely does.

This isn’t surface-level self-care—it’s reclamation in real time.

We talk about:

  • Strength training as nervous system support

  • Therapy that meets you where you are

  • Body image, media distortion, and weight loss culture

  • Recovery and radical rest

  • Dating with emotional intelligence

  • The power of childless women and redefined nurturing

  • Female friendships and leadership without rivalry

Less perfection, more truth. Less grind culture, more wholeness. Come sit with us. We saved you a mic.
