  • E223: How to Recover Your Energy & Hormone Balance When You Feel Stuck in Anxiety and Burnout
    Sep 1 2025

    Are you feeling stuck in a hard, stressful season and watching your hormones go up in flames right before your eyes, but you have no idea how to make it better?

    That’s exactly where I’ve been - deep in a hard season, watching my hormones crash even though I was doing everything right. In fact, this episode was recorded from the midst of the storm.

    I'm opening up about what it looks like to walk through ongoing stress, what it’s doing to my body and hormones, and how I’m learning to shift out of fear and back into peace, even when life isn’t calm.

    Inside, you'll learn:

    • [7:06] What high cortisol and stress really do to your hormones, even if your habits are solid
    • [14:17] How I’m gently supporting my body in real life, without adding more to my plate
    • [18:55] The mindset shift that’s helping me stop spiraling and start healing, little by little

    If you’re in a season that feels heavy, know you’re not alone. Get a snack, take a breath, and listen in. This one’s from the heart, and I hope it brings a little peace to yours, too. 💛

  • E222: 4 Simple Routine Shifts For Happier Hormones & Less PMS this Fall
    Aug 4 2025

    A question for all my amazing mamas out there: Are you ready for the fall routine? It's fine if you're still figuring it out! Just a gentle nudge to remind you that now is the perfect time to shift some of that focus back onto yourself, not just the kids or everyone else in your life.

    I get it. Summer feels like this beautiful blur - slow mornings, late nights, kids everywhere, and routines flying out the window. Then suddenly, school is back, mornings feel like a sprint, and your hormones are like, “Cool, here’s some PMS and random mood swings, enjoy!”

    I’ve been there, and I promise it doesn’t have to stay that way! That’s why in this episode, I’m sharing four simple routine shifts that I personally rely on to feel grounded, energized, and less moody. These are small changes, but they send powerful “you’re safe” signals to your body, which is exactly what your hormones need to do their job.

    Here’s what you’ll get:

    • [4.42] Easy morning and evening tweaks to calm stress and help you sleep better
    • [6.52] A no-excuse breakfast plan so your energy stops crashing before lunch
    • [8.40] The best times of day to work out for balanced hormones and steady energy
    • [14.02] Small detox habits that keep PMS, bloating, and “ugh” days from taking over your life

    Grab your coffee, step out on the porch if you can, hit play, and let’s chat about how to make this next season feel lighter on your body and your hormones. Think of this episode as your little seasonal reset. I’m right here cheering you on as you try them.

  • E221: BONUS - Hormone-Friendly Pre-Workout Nourishment (If You're Doing This Wrong, It Could Be Making Your Symptoms A Lot Worse)
    Jul 31 2025

    I know you’ve had the question - “How do I nourish my body well before a workout without making it complicated?”

    If you’ve been skipping food in the morning, dragging yourself through your workouts, and wondering why you’re so wiped out, I have a secret for you: taking a pre-workout powder is not going to fix everything.

    Here’s what you really need: A focused and simple nourishment plan to get you those nutrients you need to crush your workout and the rest of your day, WHILE building happier hormones. That’s what I have for you today.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down:

    • [2:57] Why eating before you work out is essential for hormone health, even if you’re working out at 6 AM
    • [4:10] Easy food combos that support your strength, recovery, and metabolism
    • [8:00] My go-to pre-workout supplement (caffeine-free!) and how it helps with inflammation, muscle soreness, and even brain fog

    You don’t need to do more to get better results - you just need to understand what your body is asking for so it can start to respond the way you want it to.

    Press play on this quick episode and you’ll walk away with a clear pre-workout nutrition plan that will actually work for you.
