Listen "Perfectly Imperfect: Redefining Wellness with Tonia Bartz"
Episode Synopsis
Christine Perfetti sits down with UX researcher turned holistic wellness coach Tonia Bartz to explore what it really takes to move beyond burnout and create a life that feels aligned.
After navigating a cancer diagnosis and a career pivot, Tonia developed her Perfectly Imperfect Wellness Method, a framework that helps people reclaim their days, embrace imperfection, and find joy in the messy middle.
In this episode, Christine and Tonia discuss:
How life’s wake-up calls can open the door to reinvention
Why burnout is often just a “lack of joy”
The power of Tonia's Reclaim Your Day practice
What it means to release perfectionism and define wellness on your own terms
This conversation is both practical and inspiring and a reminder that you don’t have to do it all perfectly to create the life you want.
About Tonia Bartz
With 15 years of experience as a UX Researcher, Tonia mastered the art of asking the right questions – a skill that naturally led me to explore the interconnected world of holistic + integrative wellness. What started as personal experiments with sleep patterns, nutrition + stress management blossomed into a full-fledged passion for this topic. By testing + refining these methods on her own wellness journey, Tonia discovered what truly works. When friends began seeking my guidance, she knew it was time to transform this hands-on experience into professional expertise, which includes: Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach (IIN, 2018), Member of the International Association of Health Coaches (IAHC), and Member of both the Patient and Family Advisory Council + Precision Oncology Community Board at Fred
