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.

Bloating Isn’t Normal: The Gut-Health Shift You Need
EP59. Ever feel like you’re doing everything right—eating healthy, working out, trying all the things—but you’re still bloated, exhausted, and feel stuck? It’s not in your head, and it’s NOT just about food. Your gut health, stress, and hormones are working behind the scenes, and if you don’t address them, the cycle continues.
In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Brittany Carpenter, a registered dietitian and functional health expert, to unpack:
- Why traditional diets don’t work (and actually raise your stress hormones)
- How your gut health controls your weight, cravings, and even anxiety
- The biggest mistakes women make when trying to “fix” their bloating
- Why elimination diets and food sensitivity tests might be doing more harm than good
- How to break the cycle of stress, inflammation, and frustration—for good
Brittany and I are breaking down real strategies to help you stop spinning your wheels, calm your nervous system, and finally feel energized, balanced, and confident in your body.
