Like pretty much every woman I know, I wear a lot of hats. Here are a few on the current rotation
Certified Functional Hormone Specialist + Functional Nutritionist + Holistic Health Practitioner- I’ve been in the biz for 3 years helping hundreds of women optimize their hormones to heal the root to their imbalances.
Super Mom & Wife- Let me tell you about my little tribe – Sawyer, Bodie, and Adaline. They're these amazing whirlwinds of energy, keeping me on my toes every single day. Between school runs, sports games, and all the other adventures they lead us on, life is never dull, that's for sure! But you know what? I wouldn't trade it for the world. They're my heart, my everything. And then there's my hubby – my rock, my sanctuary. He's like a warm hug after a long day, always there to calm the chaos and lift me up. Seriously, he's my biggest cheerleader, always cheering me on no matter what. I'm so grateful for him, you know? Having someone like that in your corner makes all the craziness of life feel a little less daunting.
Ultimate Entrepreneur- Six years ago, I took a leap of faith into the wild world of entrepreneurship. Can you believe it? After a decade in education, I just knew deep down that my heart and soul were craving something more, something bigger than the district walls could contain. It was scary, I won't lie. Stepping away from a stable career into the unknown was like diving headfirst into a sea of uncertainty. But you know what? It was also exhilarating. Because for the first time, I felt like I was truly following my soul's purpose, chasing after my dreams with everything I had. Sure, there were ups and downs along the way – moments of doubt, setbacks, and sleepless nights. But every obstacle just fueled my determination even more. And now, looking back on the journey, I can't imagine being anywhere else. This path, this crazy rollercoaster ride of entrepreneurship – it's where I'm meant to be.
Over a decade ago, I was caught in this whirlwind of hormonal imbalance. I had just had my first son, I was dealing with heavy, painful cycles, mood swings that could rival a rollercoaster, and don't even get me started on the anxiety and postpartum depression. It felt like my body was staging a rebellion, with digestive issues, hair loss, cysts, brain fog – you name it, I had it. And you know what's even crazier? My doctors kept telling me everything was "normal" based on their tests. Their options were going on BC or getting a hysterectomy (insert long jaw drop), with tears streaming down my face, deep down I just knew something wasn't right.
It wasn't until I went back to school to study hormone health that I realized just how wrong I'd been. All those uncomfortable symptoms I thought were just part and parcel of being a woman? Turns out, they're anything but normal.
I stumbled upon some eye-opening stats during my studies – did you know that a whopping 90% of menstruating women in the US reported experiencing some form of period pain or symptom? Crazy, right? But here's the kicker: it's not supposed to be that way. Those symptoms are like red flags from our bodies, waving frantically to let us know that our hormones are out of whack and crying out for support. It was a total lightbulb moment for me, realizing that we don't have to suffer in silence – we can take charge of our hormonal health and reclaim our vitality.
So, fueled by curiosity and intuition, I dove headfirst into figuring out what the heck was going on. I wasn't just on a journey to heal myself anymore; I was on a mission to help other women reclaim their health too. This led to becoming a Certified Functional Hormone Specialist.
And that's how I ended up here, sippin' coffee with you and sharing my story. Because if there's one thing I've learned, it's that we're stronger together, especially when it comes to tackling those pesky hormonal imbalances.
You deserve to thrive, sis. Picture this: living in perfect harmony with your cycle, radiating vitality, and feeling completely at home in your own skin. Every phase of your cycle becomes a dance, effortlessly guiding you through when to hustle and when to take a breather. Your libido? Oh, it's on fire, baby! Your body practically glows with nourishment, and exercise becomes a form of celebration for your cyclical health.
Say goodbye to mood swings and PMS drama – they're ancient history now. Instead, you welcome tranquil, predictable periods like old friends. You're in sync with your body, riding the waves of your cycle with grace and confidence. This is your time to shine, darling. Embrace it.
Since diving headfirst into hormone health, let me tell you, it's been quite the journey. And guess what? The results have been nothing short of amazing.
For the first time in my life, I've experienced regular, dependable menstrual cycles! No more reaching for the Midol or clutching onto the heating pad for dear life. Say goodbye to those "special" stretchy pants and the epic battles with my hubby the week before my period. Sugar cravings and fatigue – they're a thing of the past!
Instead, my mood, energy, and weight have all stabilized. My hair is thicker and fuller than ever before, and that pesky bloating and GI discomfort? Completely gone! My skin? Let's just say it's practically glowing. Oh, and did I mention that both my sleep and sex life have seen major improvements? Ya, libido is FIRE.
So, here's the deal: feeling this good? It's possible, and you don't have to sacrifice anything to get there. Seriously, balanced hormones can be achieved through delicious food and enjoyable action steps. And guess what? I'm here to guide you through every single step of the way.
