In this episode of The Running Wine Mom, Samantha sits down with Morgan Moreira, founder of everybodyOM , a holistic wellness brand helping women reconnect with their strength, hormones, and self-worth.

Morgan shares her raw journey — from working as a sales executive in New York’s fashion industry to finding purpose through holistic health and movement. She opens up about sobriety, rebuilding self-identity, and helping women navigate perimenopause through fitness and self-awareness.

Together, Samantha and Morgan explore:
💪 The truth about perimenopause symptoms and how early they can start
🧘‍♀️ What it means to live “where science meets soul”
🍽 Why most women are under-eating, overtraining, and overstressed
🧠 How to strengthen your body without punishing it
❤️ Reclaiming agency as the CEO of your own health

Whether you’re in your 30s noticing subtle hormonal shifts or supporting women through them, this episode will inspire you to honor your body instead of fighting against it.
