In this episode of Her Truth Revealed: Unraveling Our Midlife Era, I sit down with Kathy Riemann, founder of Bluffside Apothecary, for a deeply honest conversation about healing, health, and what it truly means to come back to yourself in midlife.
This conversation is for the woman who feels like her body has been carrying too much for too long.
For the woman who is exhausted, inflamed, or quietly wondering if this is just what aging is supposed to feel like.
For the woman who senses that her symptoms are not random but are trying to tell her something.
Kathy shares her personal journey through burnout, chronic illness, toxic environments, and emotional collapse, and how those experiences led her to question not only what we put on our skin, but what we allow into our lives.
With a background in senior care, Kathy witnessed firsthand what aging can look like when vitality is supported and when it is not. That perspective, combined with her own healing journey, led her into ancestral skincare practices rooted in simplicity, integrity, and respect for the body’s natural intelligence.
What began as making bone broth at home eventually evolved into Bluffside Apothecary, a small batch skincare brand crafted with intention and free from unnecessary chemicals.
Together, we explore:
• Why skin health is deeply connected to overall wellness
• How chronic stress and toxic environments impact the body’s ability to heal
• What senior care taught Kathy about aging with vitality
• The connection between inflammation, fatigue, and long term stress
• Why many modern skincare products overload the body
• The ancient wisdom behind simple ingredient formulas like tallow
• The difference between distracting yourself and truly reviving your soul
• Why rebuilding in midlife must begin with health, not hustle
• How courage often looks like being seen before you feel ready
Kathy also speaks candidly about the grief of starting over and the quiet relief that comes when your body finally feels safe enough to heal.
This episode is not about fixing yourself.
It is about remembering yourself.
If you are navigating unexplained symptoms, feeling disconnected from your body, or sensing that something deeper is asking for your attention, this conversation will resonate.
Because this chapter is not the end of your vitality.
It is an invitation to meet yourself differently.
