Description
When you don’t understand how your body works, it’s easy to feel helpless and hopeless.
Across the board, women are drastically undereducated about their bodies. Even as someone with parents who are doctors, ten years ago, I found myself with a masters-level education, in my late 20s, and with no idea how my period or ovulation worked.
Luckily, that’s when I met today’s guest and period expert, Nicole Jardim. Together we're exploring the connection between your hormones and your joy. I’m super excited about having this important discussion about female biology and how it impacts the quality of our day-to-day lives.
It’s so empowering to know how you can work with your biology and encourage it to work for you. In this conversation, Nicole and I talk about the extensive roles your hormones play, why cortisol and insulin are the queen bee hormones, tangible action steps that all of us can take to support our hormonal health, and more. I'm so excited to share this episode with you.
Let's pull joy in together!
