Heal, Thrive, Adventure: Your 2026 Reset
"New Normal Big Life" podcast helps you heal, thrive, and adventure with expert tips for a powerful 2026 reset.
Dec 12, 2025
What if the very thing you are calling your “new normal” – the injury, the diagnosis, the divorce, the burnout, the empty nest – is not a life sentence but the starting line to your biggest and best life ever? New Normal Big Life, an up-and-coming podcast taking the platforms by storm, might be your fastest way to the life you want.
Every week on the New Normal Big Life podcast, dynamic host Antoinette Lee, MBA, and a team of health and wellness experts hand you the exact tools, mindsets and real-life proof you need to turn limitations into a launchpad.
Podcast guests helping you thrive in 2026

Expert guests like best-selling author Dr. Ryan Williamson (Navy Veteran and board-certified neurologist), Natalie Jurado (magnesium expert), Lynne Bowman (aging gracefully guru), Kerry Jenkins (functional dermatology specialist), and best-selling author Timothy J. Ward (fitness and longevity expert), to name a few, join Lee to unpack breakthroughs you can apply right now.
2026 Strategies from expert podcast guests
Here is what regular listeners say they walk away with:
Simple, 5 – 15 minute daily practices that rebuild physical and mental strength even when motivation is low — like Dr. Kevin Smith’s hormone-balancing rituals to tame blood sugar chaos.
Proven ways to use the outdoors as free, powerful medicine for anxiety, chronic pain, PTSD and stuck energy.
Free, downloadable, step-by-step frameworks to redefine what “normal” means for YOU – and then design a life that feels expansive instead of small, including Lynne Bowman’s meal-and-movement blueprint where “The future version of you is created at your next meal, your next bedtime and your next workout.” Subscribe to our newsletter at NNBL.Blog and get a free e-book with our 2025 expert takeaways mapped out for you to start today.
Courageous stories (including Antoinette Lee’s own journey from walker and service dog to whitewater kayaking and ice fishing) that make your own comeback feel not just possible, but inevitable — like best-selling author Kevin Macomber’s raw take: “What if the way back from trauma isn’t a single breakthrough, but a stack of small, stubborn habits that actually hold you up?”
Practical adventure ideas to ward off seasonal affective disorder, and how-to-do knowledge you can actually use – no matter your age, budget, or current fitness level.
Mindset shifts that turn setbacks into superpowers and fear into fuel, such as Kerry Jenkins’ game-changer for skin struggles: “Your skin isn’t being difficult — it’s being honest” (revealing the gut-skin link that transforms your glow from the inside out.)
About the podcast host helping you thrive in 2026

Antoinette Lee, MBA, is perfectly positioned to guide you. She is an 11-year U.S. Army veteran, outdoor industry influencer, health and wellness columnist for an international magazine, founder of the American Adventure Sports Club nonprofit, and a motivational speaker whose signature “New Normal Big Life” message has already transformed thousands.
She is also living proof the methods work: after a traumatic brain injury, spine injury and PTSD left her dependent on a walker, a service dog and a full-time caregiver, Lee rebuilt an extraordinary life in the Northwoods – stewarding a forest and river homestead with her family while chasing full-throttle adventure sports as a sponsored athlete.
Now she brings everything she learned (the hard way and the joyful way) straight to your earbuds — amplified by world-class expert voices.
