Okay friends, it’s confession time!

I’m spilling the tea on how I managed to crash my own progesterone not once, but TWICE. Yep, even as a hormone expert! But first, we’re celebrating some BIG client wins, from long-awaited pregnancies to postpartum weight loss, and talking about why progesterone is often the missing piece when it comes to energy, libido, fertility, mood, and actually seeing results from all your hard work.

I’m sharing the sneaky signs I missed, how intense workouts, under-eating, and blurred work boundaries caught up with me, and exactly what I did to rebuild. Because sometimes doing MORE is actually working against your hormones. Let’s talk about what it looks like to stop chasing symptoms, start nourishing your body, and train smarter without sacrificing your progesterone.

In this episode:

• How I crashed my own progesterone TWICE (and the warning signs I missed)
• Why intense workouts, under-eating, and chronic stress can work against your hormones
• The connection between progesterone, motivation, focus, & libido
• How I adjusted my nutrition, workouts + daily routines to rebuild
• Why doing less and creating better boundaries can lead to better results
• The hormone basics I want you to start tracking each month

Happy fall, friends! 🍂 We’re kicking things off with a reminder from my son’s teacher that I think we ALL need to hear: Do your best and keep going. Because perfectionism can keep us stuck in a cycle of stress and symptoms. And that brings us to today’s topic: BLOOD SUGAR! We’re talking about why blood sugar regulation is foundational for progesterone, energy, sleep, and helping your body feel safe enough to heal.

I’m breaking down the sneaky signs of blood sugar dysregulation, why more protein isn’t always the answer, and how minerals, carbs, digestion, and fiber all play a role. Plus, we’re connecting the physical and spiritual dots when it comes to getting out of survival mode and learning to trust your body again. 💛

In this episode:

• Why releasing perfectionism matters in your healing journey
• Sneaky signs of blood sugar dysregulation, from night waking to cravings and mood swings
• The connection between blood sugar, progesterone, & cortisol
• Why undereating and inadequate carbs may be working against you
• How minerals, digestion, and fiber support metabolic health
• The connection between PCOS + blood sugar regulation
• Why spiritual rest + nervous system safety matter
• How my Missing Piece sessions & Restore Your Progesterone program can help you find your next steps

If you’ve been collecting labs, supplements, protocols, and advice but STILL feel like you don’t know what your body actually needs… this episode is for you.

We’re talking fertility, but honestly? These principles apply to healing in general. I’m breaking down why getting unstuck often requires more than another supplement. It's about shifting your identity, rebuilding trust with your body, and getting your mind, emotions, desires, and choices moving in the same direction.

Then we’re getting practical. I’m sharing the physical signs I look for when assessing whether the body feels supported enough for fertility and healing, plus the three tests that can give us a much clearer picture of what’s happening underneath the surface. And because fertility isn’t just a woman’s responsibility, we’re talking about what to look at with your husband, too!

In this episode:

• Why more labs, supplements and advice don’t always equal more clarity
• The identity shift that may need to happen before your body can move forward
• Reconnecting with healthy feminine energy + what that can look like in real life
• Getting your thoughts, emotions, desires, & choices into alignment
• The 3 tests I recommend for getting deeper answers: Full Monty iron, HTMA + gut testing
• Why the body prioritizes survival needs before reproduction
• Why your husband’s health matters too and when to consider sperm analysis
