What We Tell Our Daughters Danya Joy

Our bodies are so much more than the vessels that carry us through life. They are a living, breathing ecosystem. For us to feel our best, we need each part of our ecosystem to be healthy, happy, and balanced.
Hormones are a huge part of what makes us feel like us. So today, we're going to dive into what it really means to have balanced hormones, some of the symptoms that indicate hormones are out of balance, as well as my top tips on how to start bringing your body back into balance.
In a nutshell, here is what you’ll learn in today’s episode:
* Signs hormones may be out of balance (0:51 - 3:38) - Lack of energy in the morning

In honor of all of the amazing mamas out there, today I want to share my 5 biggest lessons of motherhood so far.
Motherhood is a journey. It challenges your beliefs, your understanding of yourself and your ability to grow even when you are more tired than you’ve ever been before.
The insights I’m sharing with you today are mindset shifts in how I think about my child, my role in her life and my own aspirations in life. Our minds can be our greatest tool or our greatest hurdle - and they can be both at the same time. Here are some of the ways I use my mindset to support my motherhood journey.I hope that these insights offer you some tools and perspective shifts that support you as well.
