And in this episode, we’re breaking it down in a way that feels simple, doable, and actually supportive.✨ In this episode, we talk about: Why starting your health journey can feel so overwhelming (and how to simplify it) The biggest mistake we see women make in the wellness space What we would focus on first if we were starting over Why it’s not about one diet, supplement, or “perfect plan” The role of minerals, sunlight, and hydration in supporting your body How perfectionism and stress can actually slow down healing The power of the 80/20 approach to health Why focusing on what you can add is more powerful than restriction Simple ways to upgrade your food and environment without overwhelm How modern life (like screens and blue light) impacts your body Why healing takes time—and how to be patient in the process The importance of community and surrounding yourself with like-minded people💛 Our encouragement for youIf you’re just starting your journey…You don’t need to do everything.You don’t need to get it perfect.You don’t need to rush.Start simple.

In this episode of Overflow: A Women’s Wellness Roundtable, hosts Becky Webb, Bronwyn Deiter, and Andrea Lehman have an honest and relatable conversation about something every woman experiences: stress.Not the kind of stress we talk about in theory, but the kind that shows up in real life.The stressful weeks.The unexpected triggers.The moments where your body feels tight, your mind starts spiraling, and you’re not quite sure how to come back to center.This episode is rooted in real experiences from busy schedules and chosen commitments to deeper emotional stress tied to past trauma. It’s a reminder that stress doesn’t always come from what’s happening right now… sometimes it’s connected to what we’ve already been through.And most importantly, it’s a conversation about what we can actually do about it.✨ What We Talk About• The difference between acute stress and chronic stress• Why not all stress is bad—and how some stress can build resilience• How stress impacts hormones, especially cortisol and adrenal function• Why chronic stress can affect women more deeply over time• The connection between past experiences, trauma, and present-day stress responses• How stress shows up physically in the body (tight chest, shoulders, back pain, etc.)• Why many women are disconnected from their stress levels• The role of thoughts and mindset in creating (or reducing) stress• How emotional health directly impacts physical health• Simple ways to regulate your nervous system in real time🏡 Key Takeaways1. Not all stress is bad.Short-term stress can actually support the body and build resilience. The issue is when stress becomes chronic.2. Chronic stress impacts hormones.When cortisol is constantly elevated, the body prioritizes stress over hormone balance—affecting energy, mood, and long-term health.3. Stress isn’t just physical—it starts in the mind.Your thoughts about a situation can amplify or calm your body’s response.4. Your body holds onto emotional experiences.Unprocessed emotions and past trauma can show up as physical symptoms and heightened stress responses.5. Awareness is the first step.Many women don’t even realize how stressed they are until they begin paying attention to their breath, body tension, or thought patterns.🌿 A Different Way to Look at StressOne of the most powerful shifts in this episode is understanding that:You may not be able to control your circumstances…but you can begin to shift your response to them.Stress often feels automatic.But when you slow down and become aware of your thoughts, your breathing, and your body—you create space to choose something different.We talk about simple, grounding tools like:• Intentional breathing• Speaking truth over your thoughts• Stepping back and reframing situations• Getting outside and reconnecting with your body• Processing emotions instead of suppressing themBecause healing isn’t just physical.It’s emotional.It’s mental.It’s spiritual.🧪 Practical Support for StressWe also touch on simple, supportive tools to help the body during stressful seasons:• Nourishing your body consistently (even when you don’t feel like it)• Supporting minerals and adrenal health• Using tools like the adrenal cocktail for energy and stability• Creating rhythms of rest, food, and recoveryThese aren’t quick fixes, but they are powerful supports when used consistently.💛 A Final ThoughtStress is part of life.We will all experience it.But living in a constant state of stress is not how your body was designed to function.This episode is an invitation to slow down, become aware, and begin supporting your body and mind in a more intentional way—so you can move from survival mode back into overflow.Join us over on instagram@beckyjwebb@andrealahman@cleangreenstartDon’t miss our FREE resourcesFind ALL the show notes at overflowpodcast.substack.com - Our Hyperlinks don’t seem to show up on Apple and you can find us there!

Cleansing, Detox, and Supporting the Body Without OverwhelmA gentle, grounded approach to supporting your body’s natural detox pathways without overwhelmIn this episode of Overflow: A Women’s Wellness Roundtable, hosts Becky Webb, Bronwyn Deiter, and Andrea Lehman dive into a topic that can feel confusing, overwhelming, and often extreme in the wellness world: cleansing and detoxification.There’s so much noise around detox.Juices. Protocols. Restrictions. Fear.But what if supporting your body didn’t have to feel intense or complicated?In this conversation, we bring detox back to what it was always meant to be: supporting the body’s natural ability to cleanse, gently and consistently.We talk about what true detoxification actually looks like inside the body, why your body is already designed to do this work, and how small, daily habits can make a meaningful difference over time.This is not about doing more.It’s about doing the right things, simply.✨ What We Talk About• What detoxification really means (and what it doesn’t)• Why the body is already designed to cleanse and eliminate• The role of the liver, lymphatic system, and drainage pathways• Why aggressive detox protocols can backfire• How stress impacts your body’s ability to detox• The connection between minerals and proper detox function• Why opening drainage pathways matters before “pushing detox”• Simple, daily ways to support detox without overwhelm• The importance of consistency over intensity• How to think about cleansing in a way that feels sustainable and peaceful🎧 Listen to the EpisodeIf you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by detox trends or unsure where to start, this episode will help bring clarity and simplicity back to the conversation.This is about supporting your body in a way that feels sustainable, grounded, and aligned with real life.Come find us on Instagram! @beckyjwebb@andrealahman @cleangreenstartGrab our Freebies!

Entrepreneurship, Faith, and How We Built Businesses that Aligned with our LivesIn this episode of Overflow: A Women’s Wellness Roundtable, hosts Becky Webb, Bronwyn Deiter, and Andrea Lehman share the stories behind how each of them stepped into entrepreneurship and built businesses from home while raising families.What makes this conversation unique is that none of them originally set out to build a business.Instead, their journeys began with curiosity, personal experiences, and a deep desire to help others.From teaching careers and nonprofit ministry to nutritional therapy training and motherhood, each path looked a little different—but all three women eventually discovered that entrepreneurship could create something many families are searching for: freedom, flexibility, and meaningful work that aligns with their values.This episode is a candid conversation about the realities of starting something new, the fears that come with it, and the surprising ways purpose often unfolds when you follow what genuinely helps people.Whether you’re a stay-at-home mom wondering if you could create income from home, or someone curious about the intersection of wellness and entrepreneurship, this conversation offers encouragement and perspective.As the hosts reflect, sometimes the opportunities we pray for arrive in ways we never expected.In This Episode We Talk About• How each host unexpectedly found her way into entrepreneurship• The early days of building a business while raising young children• What it looks like to create income “in the crevices of your day” as a mom• The difference between authentic sharing and sales-driven pressure• Why belief in what you’re sharing matters more than business strategy• The fears many people have about entrepreneurship and why they often hold us back• How values, mission, and personal integrity shape long-term business success• The importance of building something that supports your life rather than consuming it• Why entrepreneurship doesn’t always begin with a business plan, but with helping peopleA Conversation About Purpose and PossibilityOne of the most powerful themes in this episode is how often purpose unfolds organically.None of the hosts started their journey with the intention of building a large business. Instead, it began with personal experiences, meaningful conversations with friends, and seeing the impact that simple tools could have on everyday life.Over time, those small moments of sharing turned into something bigger.The conversation also explores how entrepreneurship can look different from the traditional models many people grew up seeing—where business meant long hours, high risk, and constant stress. For these women, building something from home created a different path, one that allowed them to prioritize family while still pursuing meaningful work.Listen to the EpisodeIf you’ve ever wondered:• Could I create income while staying present with my family?• Is it possible to build a business without sacrificing your values?• What does entrepreneurship look like for real moms?This episode offers an honest look behind the scenes.Join us for this conversation and hear how three women discovered that sometimes the opportunities we’re looking for are already unfolding right in front of us.Connect with Us!

A conversation about becoming the gatekeepers of our homes without overwhelm.In this episode of Overflow: A Women’s Wellness Roundtable, hosts Andrea Lehman, Bronwyn Deiter, and Becky Webb dive into a topic that so many women care about but often feel stressed by: how to reduce toxins in your home without losing your peace.Instead of fear-based messaging or perfectionism, we explore a balanced, realistic, grace-filled approach to creating a healthier home for your family.✨ What We Talk AboutWhy balance matters more than perfection in healthy, low-tox livingHow each host’s journey into non-toxic living actually beganThe overwhelming moment many moms experience when they first start reading labelsGreenwashing, marketing tricks, and why “natural” labels often mean nothingThe power of being a mindful gatekeeper of your homeWhy stress about toxins can be just as harmful as toxin exposureThe biggest everyday exposures most families don’t realize they have (like synthetic fragrance)How laundry detergent, candles, deodorant, and body sprays impact hormonesWhy kids today are struggling with focus, sleep, ADHD, and asthma—and how environment plays a roleThe concept of bioaccumulation and why small exposures add upHow the body “stores” toxins in fat as a protective mechanismWhy some intentional “toxin exposures” (like hair coloring) are okay within a balanced lifestyleThe importance of sweating, movement, lymphatics, liver support, and clean waterHow to make swaps slowly, affordably, and without stress🏡 Key Takeaways1. You don’t have to detox your home all at once.Small swaps made consistently over time create lasting change.2. Synthetic fragrance is one of the biggest hormone disruptors.Laundry detergent, candles, plugins, body sprays, and “clean-looking” influencer products are often loaded with hidden chemicals.3. Stressing about toxins can be worse than the toxin itself.A peaceful home is just as important as a clean one.4. Choose what matters most for daily exposure.This is where you get the biggest return for your effort.5. You’re not expected to live toxin-free — you’re learning to live with wisdom.We all still have hair appointments, air fryers, and busy schedules. Grace is the foundation.💛 Our Hosts Share Their First SwapsBronwyn: removing synthetic fragrance, especially from laundryBecky: switching to one safe, plant-based cleaner for the whole houseAndrea: eliminating fragrance, microwaving in plastic, and reading ingredient labels at Ulta/Sephora🧪 Three Simple Places to StartEach host gives her top three recommendations for anyone just beginning the journey:✓ Swap as you go. Replace items with safer versions only when you run out.✓ Dilution & ventilation. Open windows, avoid concentrated exposures, air out new items.✓ Support your body’s detox pathways. Hydration, sweating, movement, minerals, and clean water go a long way.📺 Resources MentionedStink! documentary (a deep dive into fragrance regulations and hidden chemicals)Free Resources (from your hosts)Every Drop Tells a Story - Testimonials for non-toxic LivingNourish.

Vitamin D Isn’t a Vitamin: Rethinking “Low D,” Sunlight, Minerals & Hormone BalanceIn this thought-provoking episode of Overflow: A Women’s Wellness Roundtable, hosts Becky Webb, Andrea Lehman, and Bronwyn Deiter take a deep dive into one of the most misunderstood topics in modern health: vitamin D — also known as hormone D.If you’ve ever been told “your vitamin D is low — take more”, this episode may completely shift how you understand that advice.Rather than fear-based messaging or one-size-fits-all supplementation, the hosts explore how vitamin D is actually made in the body, why blood tests don’t tell the full story, how sunlight, minerals, and circadian rhythm matter, and why forcing vitamin D higher may create more imbalance — not better health.This conversation is educational, nuanced, and empowering — helping women reconnect with their intuition and understand their bodies more deeply.✨ What We Talk AboutWhy vitamin D is technically a hormone, not a vitaminHow the body actually makes vitamin D from sunlightThe critical role of cholesterol and magnesium in vitamin D productionWhy sunscreen blocks vitamin D synthesisThe difference between storage vitamin D (25-D) and active vitamin D (1,25-D)Why most doctors only test the storage form — and why that’s incompleteHow vitamin D levels naturally fluctuate with seasons and immune activityWhy low vitamin D often reflects inflammation or illness, not deficiencyHow synthetic vitamin D skews population “normal” lab rangesThe relationship between vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, copper, and vitamin AHow high-dose vitamin D can contribute to:Potassium wastingCalcium imbalanceIron dysregulationOxidative stressWhy feeling “better” on vitamin D doesn’t mean it’s fixing the root causeVitamin D receptors (VDRs) and how synthetic D may clog signaling pathwaysThe surprising role of rosemary in supporting vitamin D receptor functionWhy cod liver oil is the only true food-based vitamin D sourceHow circadian rhythm, melatonin, sleep, and winter light exposure support immunityRed light therapy, seasonal rhythms, and supporting the body without forcing numbers💛 Key TakeawaysLow vitamin D is often a signal, not a problem to fix. It may reflect immune activity, inflammation, or seasonal shifts.More vitamin D is not always better. High dosing can create mineral imbalances and stress the body.Sunlight is the body’s intended source of vitamin D. Supplements were never meant to replace natural light signaling.Blood tests don’t tell the full story. Storage levels alone cannot show how vitamin D is actually being used.The body is brilliantly designed. When we support minerals, light exposure, sleep, and stress regulation, vitamin D often self-regulates.Trust your intuition. Numbers matter — but context and whole-body wisdom matter more.🧡 Supportive Approaches DiscussedSafe, mindful sunlight exposureSupporting magnesium intakeAvoiding unnecessary high-dose vitamin D supplementationUsing cod liver oil instead of isolated vitamin DIncreasing rosemary in the dietSupporting circadian rhythm and sleepRed light therapy as a seasonal support toolReducing stress and honoring seasonal energy shifts📚 Free Resources MentionedBronwyn's Blog7 Tips for Managing Stress and Loving on Your Thyroid (Andrea)Becky's Free ResourcesD-Minder App (sun exposure tracking)My Circadian App📌 Connect with Your HostsFollow us on Instagram:Becky WebbBronwyn DeiterAndrea Lehman.🎧 If You Loved This Episode…Please subscribe and leave a review on Apple or Spotify.Your support helps more women learn to live from overflow instead of depletion — mind, body, and soul.

When illness moves through your home, it can feel disruptive, exhausting and sometimes even like you’ve failed.In this episode of Overflow: A Women’s Wellness Roundtable, we have an honest conversation about immune system support and tools not from a place of fear or panic, but from grounded wisdom and real-life experience as moms.We talk about what it looks like to support our families naturally, when to lean into rest instead of guilt, how to build confidence in your mother intuition, and how to approach illness as something the body can often work through, not something to immediately suppress.This conversation is about mindset, tools, and trust.✨ In This Episode, We Talk About:Why sugar can make illness harder on the bodyThe importance of rest — and letting go of guilt when you cancel plansSunlight as a simple immune-support toolSupporting the body instead of immediately suppressing symptomsWhat homeopathy is and how it worksEssential oils for immune support and respiratory healthHow to use supportive tools like elderberry, broth, tea, and hydrationWhy illness can be a detox and immune-strengthening eventFevers and the body’s intelligenceBuilding your child’s “immune library”When to trust your gut and when medical support is appropriateLearning from past parenting experiences without carrying shameSeeing illness weeks as connection opportunities instead of failures🌿 A Shift in PerspectiveOne of the biggest themes in this episode is this:Illness is not always a crisis.Sometimes it’s the body doing important work.We talk about how our mindset has evolved over the years from fear and guilt to confidence and calm. How slowing down, making soup, offering tea, massaging little backs, and letting the body rest can be deeply supportive.And we also acknowledge that modern medicine is a gift, but that we, as mothers, are not powerless.

A behind-the-scenes look at navigating childhood autoimmune disease with courage, advocacy, and whole-body healing.In this powerful episode of Overflow: A Women’s Wellness Roundtable, Becky Webb opens up about one of the most life-altering seasons her family ever walked through—her son Caden’s undiagnosed autoimmune illness, two adrenal crises, and the terrifying reality of nearly losing him.Addison’s Disease is rare, often missed, and frequently misunderstood. Becky’s story reveals the emotional, physical, and spiritual weight of navigating a complex chronic illness, advocating for your child, and trusting your intuition when something in your child’s body feels “off”—even when the medical system doesn’t yet have answers.This episode is for every parent who has felt scared, dismissed, overwhelmed, or alone in a medical crisis.It’s a story of resilience, intuition, faith, and the real hope that healing is possible.✨ What We Talk AboutThe subtle signs that something was wrong before Caden’s diagnosisHow Caden went into adrenal crisis—what it looked like and why it was life-threateningThe frightening reality of ICU stays and watching your child rapidly declineWhat Addison’s Disease actually is and why it’s so often missedHow a misdiagnosis prolonged Caden’s sufferingThe emotional toll of being a mother in a medical emergencyMoments where Becky intuitively knew something was wrong—and was rightThe importance of advocating for your child even when you feel unheardHow chronic illness impacts the whole familySteroids as a needed life-saving “band-aid” during crisisHow Becky held onto hope that Caden’s body could still healWhat the long-term journey of rebuilding adrenal and immune health looked likeThe role of faith, intuition, and perseverance in surviving the hardest momentsWhy parents should trust their instincts—every single time💛 Key TakeawaysAutoimmune illness can be subtle at first. Fatigue, weakness, and personality shifts are often early signs parents notice before labs ever detect the problem.Addison’s Disease is serious and easily missed. Early intervention can save a life.A mother’s intuition is often the first—and best—early warning system. If something feels wrong, pursue answers until someone listens.Chronic illness affects the entire household. Emotional, spiritual, and physical support are all essential.Steroids can be life-saving without meaning you’ve failed. They buy time and stability so deeper healing can begin.Healing is possible. Even after adrenal collapse or autoimmune overwhelm, the body can rebuild with the right support.Faith and persistence matter.

A Mind–Body Look at Hormones, Minerals & MoodThe Hidden Side Effects of Birth Control: What Most Women Are Never ToldIn this episode of Overflow: A Women’s Wellness Roundtable, hosts Becky Webb, Andrea Lehman, and Bronwyn Deiter sit down for one of the most eye-opening and important conversations yet—the real impact of hormonal birth control on women’s bodies, minds, minerals, and long-term health.Birth control is often handed out to teens and women with almost no education, no informed consent, and zero discussion of root causes. In this raw and honest episode, the hosts share their own stories—including intense anxiety that doctors dismissed—as well as the deeper mineral science behind what hormonal contraceptives actually do inside the body.This is not fear-based.It’s information every woman deserves to have.✨ What We Talk AboutPersonal stories of sudden anxiety and emotional changes after starting birth controlWhy doctors often deny the connection—and why women must learn to trust their intuitionHow birth control disrupts copper regulation, ceruloplasmin (“the copper train”), and iron handling in the bodyWhy copper dysregulation can lead to anxiety, fatigue, fibromyalgia symptoms, and mood changesHow antibiotics and psychiatric meds create similar mineral disruptionsA Danish study of 1 million women showing a strong link between hormonal birth control & depressionWhy these effects are often WORSE for teenage girlsWhy birth control is prescribed for acne and cramps—and better holistic alternativesThe connection between the oral microbiome, gut bacteria, acne, and skin healthThe role of liver detox pathways, minerals, and xenoestrogens in PMS & painful cyclesWhy synthetic fragrances contribute to cramps and hormonal chaos in teensSupporting your daughter’s hormone health without relying on hormonal pillsThe moral and biological implications of how birth control actually prevents pregnancyHow birth control affects pregnancy readiness, copper stores, anemia, and baby healthThe nutritional foundations women need BEFORE conceivingWhy beef liver is the “original multivitamin”—and hilarious stories of trying to slice it at homeSmall, practical changes that support teens and women physically and emotionally💛 Key TakeawaysBirth control is not harmless. It alters minerals, mood, hormones, nutrient status, and long-term health—yet women are rarely told this.If you’ve ever felt anxious, depressed, or “not yourself” after starting birth control, you’re not crazy. Copper dysregulation and liver stress can explain why.Teens are especially vulnerable to mood side effects and should be offered real education and real alternatives.Birth control doesn’t fix root causes. It suppresses symptoms while deeper issues (gut health, minerals, liver function) go unaddressed.Women deserve informed consent. Understanding how birth control works—including its effects on implantation—is essential for those who value life.Preparing your body before pregnancy matters. Copper status, minerals, retinol, and liver health play a major role in fertility, energy, and baby’s development.Nature already provides the nutrients women need. Beef liver, raw dairy, whole foods, supportive herbs, and mineral-rich diets are powerful foundations.🧡 Practical Alternatives DiscussedFor teens with acne:Gut bacteria supportProbioticsLiver support herbs (Juvetone, Sulfurzyme, etc.)Diet awarenessReducing seed oilsOral microbiome testingClean skincare routinesFor painful cycles & PMS:Removing synthetic fragrances + xenoestrogensEssential oils (Joy for cramping)MineralsLiver supportClean beauty swapsLifestyle awareness around hormonesFor women preparing for pregnancy:Copper-balancing foodsRetinol-rich foods (butter, eggs, raw dairy)Beef liver or desiccated liverMineral repletionRest + reducing stressAvoiding hormonal contraceptives during fertility prep📚 Resources You May Want to ExploreBrownwyn's BlogBronwyn, Becky & Andrea's Free Hormone Masterclass7 Tips for Managing Stress and Loving on Your Thyroid📌 Connect with Your HostsFollow us on Instagram:BeckyBronwynAndreaFind all free resources, cycle education tools, and wellness guides linked in the show notes.🎧 If You Loved This Episode…Please subscribe and leave a review on Apple or Spotify.Your support helps more women learn to live from overflow instead of depletion—mind, body, and soul.

In this episode of Overflow: A Women’s Wellness Roundtable, we sit down for an honest and timely conversation about food — specifically, the food pyramid many of us grew up with, and why its recent revision matters more than most people realize.So many women today feel tired, inflamed, confused about food, or frustrated that “doing all the right things” still isn’t working. In this conversation, we explore how outdated nutrition messaging has quietly shaped our relationship with food — often leading to under-nourishment, blood sugar issues, and chronic stress on the body.This episode isn’t about fear, rules, or perfection. It’s about understanding how we got here, and learning how to nourish ourselves with more awareness, compassion, and wisdom.✨ What We Talk About in This EpisodeWhy the recent revision of the food pyramid is such a big dealWhat many of us remember being taught about food growing upHow six to eleven servings of grains per day became the foundationWhy under-eating is incredibly common in womenBlood sugar imbalance, insulin resistance, and constant exhaustionThe difference between traditional grains and modern processed wheatGlyphosate, hybridized wheat, and why modern grains affect the body differentlyWhy some people tolerate bread in Europe but not in the U.S.The role of protein, fat, and nutrient density in women’s healthStress, depleted soil, minerals, and modern food systemsWhy awareness matters more than perfectionSimple, realistic ways to begin nourishing yourself better🌿 A Gentle ReminderThis conversation is not about labeling foods as “good” or “bad.”It’s about recognizing that many women were simply doing the best they could with the information they were given — and that nourishment is foundational to energy, hormones, mood, and resilience.Small shifts, made with awareness, can change everything.📌 Stay ConnectedYou can find us on Instagram and explore free resources linked in the show notes:Becky WebbBronwyn DeiterAndrea LehmanGrab Our Free Resources!7 Tips of Managing Stress and Loving Your Thyroid (Andrea)Nourish.
