In this episode of the Gutsy Chick podcast, I’m joined by the powerhouse Dr. Emily Kiberd for a deep, honest convo about stress, cortisol, and the very real impact they have on women’s bodies—especially if you’re dealing with thyroid or autoimmune issues. Emily shares how she went from running a booming chiropractic clinic to creating her online program, Thyroid Strong, and why learning to work with your stress (instead of fight it) is a game-changer.

If you’ve ever felt burned out, stretched thin, or like your body’s not responding the way it used to—this one’s a must-listen.
