QUOTES

“I recognize the signs, and I think if there’s any wavering in my mood, that’s a really good indicator. But also, I pay attention to my HRV– if that starts going down, I know that’s a sign. I also have gotten better now at paying attention to my recovery in terms of my workouts.”

“Staying in alignment with my purpose has been really helpful. Just living in alignment, in sync with my priorities and my values has been a big one for me as well. So I carve out time for my family.”

“Our brain is the driver of so much. And if our mental health game isn’t dialed in as moms, as career women, as women who are upholding communities… It can feel like it all just unravels and falls apart.”

Episode Summary

Ever feel so depleted that even a full night of sleep doesn’t touch the exhaustion you’re carrying? I’ve been there, too.

If you’re navigating perimenopause or menopause and feel like your stress is out of control, this conversation is for you. We’re unpacking why the bone-deep exhaustion, brain fog, and lack of capacity you feel aren’t just about aging—they’re signals that your cortisol levels and stress response system are maxed out, leaving you in survival mode. 

I’ll break down what I’ve learned about reversing your stress response naturally, even in the busiest seasons of life. We’ll explore simple, science-backed steps to help you step out of over-efficiency mode and reclaim your calm, clarity, and joy

Ready to feel like YOU again, even in the chaos of midlife transitions? Don’t miss this episode!

  6. Habits to implement to reverse the stress response system 

QUOTES

90% of the time, we’re solving all the problems, we’re holding it all together. We’re over-efforting, overproducing. We’re productive machines… and that primary hormone that we hear a lot about is gonna be cortisol.”

“Cortisol is just a hormone that’s responding to the environment and to how I’m living my life. So we have to look at how we live our life and how we shift the way we live our life so we’re not having this crazy response.”

“How you live your life is how you live your day, and how you live your day is how you start your day.”
