  • E266: The Emotional & Spiritual Roots Of PMS, Hormone Imbalance, And Low Libido
    Mar 16 2026

    I’ll be honest, this episode felt a little different to record - a little exciting, and a little nerve-wracking. Because instead of focusing on the usual physical side of your hormones, I’m going deeper into something we don’t talk about as often: the emotional and especially spiritual roots behind symptoms like PMS, hormone imbalance, and low libido.

    I talk a lot about food, minerals, gut health, and detox on this podcast. And those things matter. But sometimes the reason symptoms linger isn’t just physical. Our health is deeply connected to the emotions we carry. From subtle victim-mindset patterns to long-held (shame-filled) beliefs about our bodies, sexuality, and identity as women, these patterns can keep our nervous system in stress mode and influence how our bodies function.

    In this episode, you’ll hear about:

    • The mindset patterns many high-functioning women fall into without realizing it
    • A group of hidden emotions that can quietly show up as physical symptoms
    • Why prayer, reflection, and emotional healing can influence symptoms like PMS and libido more than we expect

    I also share a personal moment where prayer helped me recognize emotional roots I had been holding onto and how releasing them shifted what I felt in my body almost immediately.

    If you’ve never thought about your hormones through this lens before, this conversation may feel both surprising and liberating.

  • E265: Decoding Your PMS - What’s Normal And What’s A Red Flag
    Mar 9 2026

    If taking a supplement was the magic fix for PMS, wouldn’t we all be feeling amazing by now, right?

    In this episode, I’m breaking down PMS in a straightforward way. Not every change before your period is a problem. Some shifts in mood, energy, or appetite are completely normal. But there’s also a point where PMS becomes your body’s way of saying something deeper is off.

    The real issue often isn't just your hormones. It’s all about looking at the bigger picture of what your brain and body are experiencing every day. When your system is constantly stressed, depleted, or unsafe, maintaining hormonal balance becomes much harder.

    You’ll learn:

    • What mild PMS looks like when hormones are functioning well
    • Symptoms that indicate deeper stress or imbalance
    • How stabilizing minerals and blood sugar can be more effective than random supplements

    One of my favorite moments recently was a client telling me that her kids said, “Mom, you’re being silly again, like you used to.”

    That’s the real goal. Not just fewer symptoms, but feeling like yourself again - laughing more, having the energy and patience for your family, and moving through your cycle without just trying to survive half the month.

    The good news is that these changes often start with much simpler steps than most women expect. Tune in to learn how to get there.

  • E264: Creating Safety + Hormone Balance Through Simplifying
    Mar 2 2026

    Have you ever bought the one thing that was supposed to fix your hormones, and then realized you’re more overwhelmed than before? That’s where this episode starts.

    We’re wrapping up our Safety Series with an idea that might seem too simple to make a difference: simplifying. It’s not about adding another supplement or following the latest trends, but about stepping back so your body can feel safe again.

    Because when your brain is overloaded with information, fear, and constant “fix this” messaging, cortisol stays high and progesterone struggles to keep up.

    We’ll unpack:

    • How information overload and fear-based wellness culture keep your nervous system dysregulated
    • Why doing “all the things” can make hormone symptoms worse
    • The few simple habits that actually move the needle

    Sometimes, hormone balance isn’t about protecting yourself from every toxin or buying the right greens powder. Sometimes it comes from doing fewer things consistently so your body can finally settle.

    If you’ve been feeling burned out by wellness itself, listen in; this episode will feel like a reset.
