Brainstem Stroke to Midlife Powerhouse — with Dr. Kristine Gravino

Today on Sharing Out Loud, I’m joined by the incredible Dr. Kristine Gravino — Ph.D., psychologist, integrative health expert, and a true force when it comes to helping women break self-sabotage and rebuild trust with their bodies.But this conversation? It goes way deeper than mindset tips.We talk about the brainstem stroke she survived in her early 20s — an experience that could have taken her life in a completely different direction. Instead, it became part of the foundation for who she is today.We get into motherhood — raising her two now-grown sons — body image struggles (because yes, even the experts live this), and her very real, very human initiation into perimenopause.And we also go there — into something so many women quietly normalize — mommy wine culture.Dr. Gravino shares her own experience with it, how easy it is to fall into, and how, with the help of community, she was able to pull herself out and come out stronger on the other side. Now? It’s not something she hides — it’s something she owns as part of her life experience.Because that’s who she is. She doesn’t just teach mindset — she lives it. Every single day.She’s one of the most genuinely positive people I’ve met — not in a toxic positivity way, but in a grounded, resilient, “I’ve been through it and I choose how I show up” kind of way.This episode is about doing the work. The real work.And if you’re ready to dig deep, uncover what’s holding you back, and actually step into your strongest, most aligned self — you’re going to want more of Dr. Gravino.You can learn more about her 1:1 sessions, group programs, masterclasses, and her personalized approach to nutrition, movement, and mindset at 👉 drkgravinowellness.comYou can also reach her directly at 📩 [email protected] find her on Instagram 📱 @drkgravinowellness
