Episode Description:
Are you craving a reset? In this mini Badass Bites episode, I share what it really means to pause, recharge, and reconnect with your intuition. After 13 years of pushing through nonstop education and goals, I’m finally learning to slow down, protect my energy, and honor rest as a vital part of transformation.

If you’re navigating perimenopause, menopause, hormone shifts, weight loss, or burnout, this conversation is for you. You’ll hear how I’m tuning into my body, releasing the pressure of “busy,” and finding alignment through gentle movement, meditation, and nervous system regulation.

Because rest isn’t lazy—it’s the medicine your hormones, health, and mindset have been craving.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why rest is essential for hormone health, inflammation, and weight loss
• How “busyness” can be a trauma response (and what to do about it)
• Practical ways to recharge: walks, yoga, meditation, and saying yes to joy
• How to listen to your intuition and honor your body’s cues
• Why giving yourself permission to pause can be the most powerful reset
