S3:E3 Working With Your Body Instead of Fighting It

For years, I expected myself to have the same energy, patience, and productivity every single day — and when I didn’t, I thought something was wrong with me. In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve been learning recently about the female cycle, perimenopause, and the importance of working with our bodies instead of constantly fighting against them. We’ll talk about the difference between the first and second half of the cycle, why some weeks feel so much easier than others, how perimenopause can amplify everything, and why I wish I had understood this years ago while raising kids. I also share how constantly pushing through eventually led me to burnout — and how I’m learning to be more gentle with myself, nourish my body differently, rest without guilt, and pay attention to what my body is actually asking for. If you’ve been feeling exhausted, emotional, overwhelmed, or frustrated with yourself… this episode is a reminder that your body isn’t broken. It may just need something different. And as always — you’re doing better than you think.
