In this refreshingly real episode of Stages of She, we turn the mic toward our very own co-host Sara Strasbaugh—PR Director at GSPR and founder of The Blonde Bites—for a candid conversation on what wellness actually means in your 30s.

Together with Lis and Kristina, Sara unpacks her evolving definition of self-care, the wellness trends she’s left behind, and what it means to heal without hustling. From ditching green juice guilt to embracing mental stillness over morning productivity pressure, this episode is a deep exhale for anyone tired of chasing an aesthetic version of health.

We explore the rise of “hot girl healing”—a wellness era rooted in authenticity, not perfection—and the daily practices that help us feel nourished instead of drained. Whether you're navigating burnout, reevaluating your routines, or just craving a more grounded take on self-care, Sara’s perspective offers permission to do less and feel more.

Some of the episode highlights include:

If you’ve ever felt like rest needed to be earned or healing had to be productive, this episode is for you.
