If your body feels like it’s stuck in stress mode no matter how “healthy” you try to be, your mindset might be the missing piece. 

In this episode, we’re breaking down four common mental blocks that keep your hormones out of balance… and simple mindset shifts that can help you finally feel more at home in your body.

We’ll talk about how perfectionist thinking can actually keep your nervous system on edge and how focusing on small daily habits (à la James Clear’s 1-degree plane shift) can create long-term change without burnout.

Next up: guilt and shame. I’ll share the stonecutter analogy that helps you swap shame for pride and consistency.

We’ll also explore how body frustration can morph into powerful gratitude when you zoom out including a powerful reframe I picked up from Alex Hormozi.

And if you’ve ever felt like a single slip-up ruins your progress, you’ll love the final mindset swap: learning to see those moments as tune-ups, not setbacks. Something I’ve had to lean into recently myself.

These mindset upgrades aren’t just motivational fluff. They lower stress, regulate your nervous system, and support better hormone balance over time.

Whether you’re deep in your healing journey or just getting started, these small mental shifts can make a big physical difference!
