454: When Your Life Looks Fine but Doesn't Feel Right & How to Rebuild with Giselle Orentas

About this episode

Giselle Orentas discusses navigating personal transitions and rebuilding confidence in this insightful episode.

Giselle Orentas is a wellness expert, founder of Balangy, and host of The Giselle Orentas Podcast . In this episode, we talk about what it feels like when your body, your priorities, or your relationships start to shift—and how to navigate that without losing yourself in the process. From hormones and skin changes to confidence, relationships, and starting over, this is a very real conversation about learning to trust yourself again. Giselle shares the work she’s done including how she approaches wellness in a more flexible and intuitive way, and the conversations people don’t always have publicly—like leaving a relationship with a good person, letting go of resentment, and rebuilding confidence from the inside out. We also talk beauty—what actually makes a difference, how to simplify your routine, and why a more minimal, barrier supportive approach to skincare can be more effective than overdoing it. If you’ve ever felt “off,” in transition, or like you’re becoming a different version of yourself—this episode will resonate.
