In this powerful episode of UpLift Women’s Wellness, Bethany Busch (Founder of Head 2 Toe Strength) and Auria Zahed (Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist) get real about what it means to rebuild your life from the ground up.
Bethany shares her raw journey—from coaching softball as a teen to working 13 years in warehouses, failing out of college, and rediscovering her purpose through exercise science. Together, she and Auria unpack the toxic culture of fitness, the emotional toll of body image battles, and the barriers women face in wellness spaces.
You’ll hear about:
• The truth behind “weight loss” goals and societal pressure
• How Bethany navigated recovery from disordered eating
• What it’s like to be a woman in male-dominated gym culture
• Why movement, mental health, and joy must go hand in hand
• The dream of building a sanctuary for women who carry too much
This episode is for anyone who’s felt unseen, unheard, or unworthy in wellness spaces.
It’s not about perfection—it’s about persistence, purpose, and showing up for yourself.
