The Second Wind Podcast with Judy Marie Trimbur

Are you feeling tired, having walked through storms and faced endings, quietly wondering, "Is there more for me?" This episode is for the soul ready to embrace its Second Wind—a sacred return of energy, clarity, and hope that rises not despite your challenges, but because of them.
Judy Marie Trimbur, best-selling author of "Second Wind," dives into how life's most painful chapters hold the keys to your deepest growth. She reframes struggles not as signs of failure, but as stepping stones and refining fires meant to burn away what is not truly you.
In this powerful episode, you will learn:
The true definition of a Second Wind: It’s not about being "fixed," but about being real, authentic, and willing to ask, "What else is possible for me now?"
How to partner with your challenges: Why fighting your struggles can keep you stuck, but embracing them allows your soul to soar.
Simple practices to create your Second Wind: From starting with immediate gratitude to asking powerful, possibility-driven questions.
Bringing light to what you've forgotten: How your revival begins by remembering the dreams, the voice, and the parts of you that loved freely.
Your Second Wind has already begun. It's a return to yourself, a powerful choice to breathe again, and an invitation to love yourself fiercely. Tune in to remember that you are rising, and there is more to your story.

Are your decisions driven by fear or wholeness? In this powerful episode of the Second Wind podcast, Judy Marie Trimber bridges the gap between science and the soul, revealing how our choices physically impact our nervous system, our biology, and our ability to heal.
Judy Marie explains the physiological effects of fear, which triggers your "fight or flight" response, contracts your body, and blocks your ability to heal. She contrasts this with the expansive, restorative power of choosing from a place of wholeness—activating your "rest and digest" mode, balancing hormones, and opening the door to creativity and clarity.
In this episode, you will discover:
The gut-brain axis: How your thoughts, emotions, and gut health are all interconnected.
Neuroplasticity in action: Why small, nourishing choices like hydration or stillness are not just healthy habits, but a way to literally reprogram your brain for vitality.
The biological power of words: How blessing your body is not just a spiritual practice, but an act that influences your gene expression, as confirmed by epigenetics.
The importance of detoxing: How ancient practices like colon cleansing, parasite protocols, and fasting support your mental and physical clarity.
This is an episode for anyone who wants to stop living in a state of contraction and start living with an open heart. Judy Marie reminds us that we are not broken or behind—we are simply being invited to choose wholeness daily, for ourselves and for our healing.

Are you on a healing journey, facing a chronic health condition, or simply looking for a powerful way to reset your body and mind? In this episode of the Second Wind podcast, Judy Marie Trimbur shares a deeply personal and powerful experience with a 72-hour water fast.
Judy Marie explains how this ancient practice, now backed by science, activates the body's natural repair mechanisms, including autophagy—the process of recycling damaged cells. While emphasizing that this is not medical advice, she openly shares how she used this practice to support her own body after an incurable cancer diagnosis.
In this episode, you will learn:
What a 72-hour water fast is: A detailed explanation of the practice and its benefits.
The critical importance of preparation: Why a successful fast begins one to two weeks before you start, including how to transition your body by eliminating sugar and refined carbs.
What to expect during the fast: The physical and emotional shifts that occur, from entering ketosis and losing weight to processing buried emotions.
The spiritual dimension of fasting: How emptying the body can create space for deeper intuition, clarity, and connection to your soul.
How to safely break your fast: The crucial steps to reintroduce food gently and continue the healing process.
This episode is a profound testament to the body's innate power to heal. It's an invitation to treat your body with reverence and love, to listen to its wisdom, and to remember that you are not just surviving—you are transforming.

In this incredibly raw and vulnerable episode, Judy Marie Trimbur shares a recent moment from her own life that changed everything. After being told by her oncologist that her cancer had returned and was now considered incurable, Judy Marie faced what felt like a death sentence.
But in that moment of darkness, she made a powerful choice—she chose to transcend it.
This isn't a story of denial or spiritual bypassing. This is a story of reclaiming power in the face of powerlessness. Judy Marie explains how she stopped asking "How long do I have?" and started asking "How deeply can I live while I'm here?"
In this episode, you will learn about:
The power of transcendence: What it truly means to let go of the outcome and choose to live in a state of deep connection and presence.
Why you are not a statistic: A powerful reminder that your spirit is infinite, your body is powerful, and you are a miracle in motion.
Finding wholeness beyond a cure: How healing is not just about erasing an illness but about coming home to your authentic self.
Practical wisdom for living now: How to let go of fear, love more deeply, and choose what will best serve your highest good.
This episode is a sacred invitation for anyone who has been handed a heavy diagnosis, a loss, or a fear that seems too big to carry. You are not broken, you are not done, and you get to decide how your story unfolds.

Are you running from something? A memory, a past hurt, a version of yourself you're not proud of? In this deeply personal episode of the Second Wind podcast, Judy Marie Trimbur gets honest about a powerful truth she's learned: you can't grow and hide at the same time. Judy Marie shares her own journey of hitting a wall, feeling emotionally numb, and realizing she was avoiding pain. She explains how this avoidance led to more discomfort and why facing your pain is not a sign of weakness, but a courageous act of growth. In this episode, you will discover: Why pain isn't a flaw, but a message—it's information your soul is sending to you. How pretending that pain doesn't exist isn't strength, but simply a survival tactic. Why sitting with the ache is the only way to truly understand and heal it. Practical steps to help you stop hiding, including a simple, 10-minute exercise for honest self-reflection. This episode is for anyone who has been in survival mode for too long. Judy Marie reminds us that we are here to thrive, to heal, and to be free. When you stop hiding from your pain, you allow your nervous system to feel safe enough to heal, and that's where true growth lives.

Are you running on empty? Always pouring into others while your own cup goes neglected? In this deeply personal and honest episode, Judy Marie offers a powerful message for anyone feeling stretched too thin.
Titled "Time to Take Care of Me Now," this episode is a direct conversation with your soul. Judy Marie dives into the truth that many of us were taught: self-care is selfish. But as she explains, this couldn't be further from the truth. Your exhaustion isn't a flaw—it's a signal that you've abandoned yourself.
In this episode, you will learn:
Why we abandon ourselves: The myths we've been taught about earning rest and proving our worth.
The signs of burnout: From physical illness to emotional emptiness and feeling lost.
What self-care really is: It's more than bubble baths; it's a radical act of love that includes setting boundaries, saying no without guilt, and prioritizing your healing.
Small steps to start today: How to begin with intentional breathing, making a commitment to yourself, and speaking your truth out loud.
This is a powerful invitation to stop waiting for permission and start choosing yourself now. Your needs are valid, your peace is worth protecting, and you are allowed to rest without shame. This episode is a reminder that you matter, you are enough, and you are worthy of your own care.

Are you feeling exhausted, confused, and like a stranger in your own skin? You are not alone. In this powerful episode of the Second Wind podcast, Judy Marie Trimber offers a message of profound healing and hope for anyone struggling to keep up with the demands of life.
Judy Marie dives into the belief that we are somehow "defective" when we struggle with fatigue, pain, or confusion. She challenges this idea, reframing your symptoms not as flaws, but as sacred signals from your soul.
In this episode, you will learn:
Why your exhaustion is not a weakness, but a signal for rest and recalibration.
How your pain is not proof that you are broken, but proof that you are deeply alive.
Why the world might call your state "dysfunction," but your soul might call it "transformation."
The difference between being weak and simply being overwhelmed.
How to honor your body's need for rest and stillness without guilt.
Judy Marie shares a simple yet powerful truth: you are not falling apart, you are coming back together. This episode is a gentle invitation to release the hustle, let go of the old version of you in survival mode, and step into the sacred process of remembering who you truly are.
Tune in to remember that you are not defective, you are not broken, and you are always enough.
