    It takes a village

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I get real about where I’m at right now: 42, in the middle of summer chaos with four boys (including twins), and finally admitting that it doesn’t just take a village to raise kids—it takes a village to take care of *me*. After our recent vacation, I hit a low point. My back was flaring up, my mood was all over the place, and I realized I was surrounded by males all day and missing my girlfriends’ support. So I started rebuilding my “village”: - Seeing a naturopath for hormones and supplements   - Going to physio and doing core work for my lower back   - Looking into acupuncture   - Seriously considering hormone replacement therapy (HRT), even though I used to think it was “unnatural” I’ve always been very “let the body do its thing” and avoided meds unless absolutely necessary. But after months of feeling like the worst version of myself when I’m tired—snapping, raging over tiny things, feeling almost “crazy”—I decided my quality of life matters more than being perfectly natural. I’m still cautious and doing my research, but I’m open to HRT if it helps. A few big takeaways I land on in this episode: - Hormone decline can start up to 10 years before “menopause age,” and a lot of symptoms (mood swings, rage, anxiety, depression-like feelings) get misdiagnosed or ignored.   - My husband loves me, but he doesn’t know what to do with my symptoms. It’s on me to lead my own care and then invite him in.   - Taking care of myself takes effort: booking appointments, trying supplements, doing the exercises, saying no to the extra bread, asking for help.   - If what I’m doing isn’t fixing it, I need to go back for help—even if I “know what to do,” because consistency is the hard part. I end with a gentle nudge to anyone listening: if you’ve been debating booking that appointment, making that call, or trying that thing you keep putting off, this is your sign. Get that one more person into your village who helps *you* feel better, so you can show up better for everyone else. Support the show

    “He doesn’t appreciate me”

    Send us Fan Mail Hey everyone! In this episode, I’m sharing something that’s been really helpful for me as a mom: how to start appreciating yourself, especially when you’re not feeling appreciated by your partner. I talk about how practicing appreciation for what our husbands do can actually help us feel more appreciated too. I also share a simple exercise I used—writing down all the little things I did in a day that I didn’t even plan on doing—to help me see how much I really do for my family. Plus, I get real about the challenges of parenting teenagers, juggling summer schedules, and learning to coach myself through the tough moments. If you’ve ever felt like your hard work goes unnoticed, this one’s for you. Support the show

    When the Little-Kid Era Starts Slipping Away

    Send us Fan Mail This episode is basically a mom pep talk for that weird, emotional in-between stage when your kids are still around, but suddenly they don’t need you the same way anymore. The speaker talks about that sneaky mix of sadness, confusion, and “wait… what do I do with myself now?” that can show up as kids get older and life starts shifting.[Attachment] The big message is: don’t rush past the feelings. Name them, let yourself feel them, talk them out, and stop pretending you can just skip straight to the fun new chapter without grieving the old one first.[Attachment] She also leans into the idea that this is a transition, not a one-and-done moment, so it may keep popping up in waves. Her advice is to keep your routines, stay connected to people, try new things, and practice becoming the version of yourself that exists beyond constant kid-management mode.[Attachment] It’s honest, a little funny, and very real — basically: yes, your kids are growing up, and yes, that can be sad, but you’re not broken, you’re just in the middle of a big parenting shift.[Attachment] Support the show

    Trying things and failing

    Send us Fan Mail You had a career or maybe you haven’t then you had some kids and stayed home with them and now you’re wondering what to do next this episode is for you.  The secret is just try something over and over and over again until you learn.  Do a pilot of whatever thing you want to try and then decide if you want to do it or not do it but before you’ve tried it, you can’t decide if you want to do it or not. Do it just go try it.   Support the show

    FAQ Intermittent Fasting

    Send us Fan Mail Common questions about fasting Most common questions•What is intermittent fasting?•What is the best fasting schedule, like 16:8 or 5:2?•Can it help with weight loss?•What am I allowed to drink during the fasting window?•Will it hurt energy, focus, or workouts?•Is it safe for everyone?•Does it matter what I eat when I do eat?•How long does it take to see results?•Can I do it every day?•What are the side effects or risks?What people worry about most:  A lot of the concern is about whether fasting is actually healthy, whether the benefits last, and whether it is just another calorie-cutting strategy in disguise. Mayo Clinic notes that some short-term improvements have been seen in blood sugar, weight, cholesterol, blood pressure, and inflammation, but long-term effects are still unclear. MedlinePlus also highlights that what and how much you eat still matter, not just the timing Support the show
