I don’t know about you, but this time of year has me feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and definitely TIRED. 

I’m often asked about navigating fatigue on your fitness journey. I’m feeling pretty damn fatigued myself right now, so I thought it was fitting to dive into this topic for today’s episode!

For some reason, we beat ourselves up when we feel so tired, and we think something is *wrong* with us if we don’t feel great every.single.day. As human beings, we have SO much happening both within our bodies + in the world around us. Regardless of the season of life you’re in, there’s no way you’re going to feel amazing 24/7.

As women, our menstrual cycle impacts our energy levels and overall well-being waaay more than we probably realize. I’m sharing more about the various phases of our cycle + other hormonal conditions (i.e. PCOS, endometriosis) and autoimmune conditions that can lead to energy levels fluctuating, and yes..leave us feeling fatigued.

My biggest takeaway I want you to have is to really understand YOUR body - start paying attention to what YOU need. What makes you feel good, and what makes you feel depleted? While you can only control so much, you are in control of educating yourself on your health and well-being.

I hope this episode sheds some light on the topic of fatigue and other health challenges + brings more awareness to how important it is to REALLY know your body! 

In this episode, we cover:

• Understanding that you WILL get tired, and you won’t feel great every single day + not beating yourself up over this
• How the menstrual cycle impacts women + a breakdown of what this looks like during a 30 day time frame
• Certain hormonal conditions that affect women + how this impacts energy levels throughout your cycle
• The physical + emotional toll that autoimmune diseases can take on the body
• Why it’s crucial that you learn your particular body and what YOU need
