In today’s episode, we’re diving into something that affects most women over 40—hormones! We all know they can be a bit of a rollercoaster at this stage of life, and sometimes, the side effects can be downright annoying. Whether it’s belly fat, fatigue, or mood swings, our hormones can make things harder than they need to be.

But here’s the good news: You can actually take control! Join me for a behind-the-scenes look at one of our coaching calls with clients from our Goddess Body Project. We’ll chat about three key hormones that affect everything from metabolism to mood, and I’ll share simple strategies to help balance them. Plus, I’ll talk about the biggest mistakes women make with dieting and exercise that can make hormone imbalances worse.

If you’ve been feeling "off" or struggling with those frustrating midlife changes, this episode is packed with actionable tips that could really make a difference. So grab a coffee (or wine, no judgment) and listen in! You’ve got this—let’s get those hormones back on track!
