Hey friend,
Do holiday gatherings leave you feeling overstimulated, tense, or emotionally overwhelmed before you even arrive?
Are you carrying the pressure to keep everyone happy — even when your body is already exhausted?
What would it feel like to walk into a family event knowing you and your spouse already have a plan?

Hey friend,
Have you ever been told your thyroid is “fine” even though you still feel awful?
Could fatigue, brain fog, or weight struggles be linked to labs that aren’t showing the whole picture?
What if “normal” isn’t really optimal?
In this episode, I’m wrapping up my 3-part series on the shifts that helped me finally feel better. Today’s focus is the thyroid — and why being told “your labs are normal” isn’t always the full story.
I’ll share my own journey of years of dismissal, what happened when I finally got a full thyroid panel, and the difference between normal and optimal ranges. You’ll learn which labs to ask for, why Free T3 and antibodies matter, and how to advocate for yourself when you’re not being heard.
If you’re still exhausted and struggling with brain fog despite being told everything is fine, this episode will help you take the next step.

Hey friend,
Do you feel wired but exhausted, like your body won’t calm down?
Have you been told your hormones are “fine,” but you still don’t feel right?
What if there’s a simple test that could reveal why you can’t rest?
In this episode, I’m continuing my 3-part series on the shifts that finally helped me feel like myself again. Today’s focus is progesterone — the hormone often called “nature’s Valium.”
I’ll share how low progesterone left me reactive, restless, and sleepless, and what changed when I finally got it tested the right way. We’ll talk about why timing matters for hormone testing, what a full panel should include, and how to look at the balance between estrogen and progesterone.We discuss how daily rhythms like rest, stress management, and nourishing food support hormone balance. But when those rhythms aren’t enough, it may be time to dig deeper with labs. I want to give you the full picture of what helped me heal, so you can feel calmer and more rested too.

I’ve tried all the things: strict diets, expensive supplements, and wellness plans that felt more like full-time jobs.
But everything changed when I let go of perfection and started focusing on small, sustainable shifts that supported my body and worked with real mom life. Now, I help moms like you take simple steps toward feeling better—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
If you’re ready for natural solutions, doable routines, and a fresh dose of grace in your motherhood—this podcast is for you.
So grab your herbal tea, hide in the laundry room if you have to, and let’s get you feeling better—one simple habit at a time.
