Stop Faking Fine
Welcome to the Stop Faking Fine podcast, a show that will empower you to finally show up for yourself. Your host, Dana Lewis, was the queen of faking fine after losing her husband unexpectedly to cancer.
We all create walls around us in order to survive the chaos of grief--whether it's caused by the death of a loved one, loss of a job, divorce, or anything that makes us wonder "how did this become my life?"
Dana is here to encourage you not to settle! In this podcast, she shares insight, strategies, and interviews with people who have been down these stressful roads, replaced their unhealthy patterns, and learned to thrive!
Dana will help you recognize and let go of the habits that are no longer serving you, and provide simple sustainable action steps to implement with each episode. It’s time to stop faking fine, because you are worth so much more.
Your circumstances may not be 100% your fault, but Your Life is 100% your Responsibility.

Mastering Menopause: Strategies for High Performance
EP40. Women spend years in some sort of hormonal flux, from puberty to pregnancy to perimenopause. Understanding the changes is critical to help you manage those years without faking fine. In my conversation with Performance Psychologist Dr. Jennifer Churchill, we dive into menopause and its impact on a woman’s performance. We tackle brain health, better sleep and boundaries!
For women, midlife doesn’t come without sacrifice and loss. Jennifer opens up about being single at this stage and not having a family of her own, and the assumptions of others who thought it was a choice. Her story reminds us of the importance of empathy, acceptance, and creating a safe space for women to share their experiences.
And just for fun… what does she have to say about editing dreams?? You’ll want to hear this!
