Episode 33: When “Normal” Doesn’t Feel Normal: Hormones, Mental Health & Holiday Burnout with Dr. Abigail Powell
Have you ever been told your hormones are “normal” — but you know something feels off?
Maybe your moods are unpredictable, your patience is gone, or you feel like you’re just holding it all together — especially during the holidays.
In this episode of Inspired Wellness, Michelle and Tabitha sit down with Dr. Abigail Powell, a licensed clinical psychologist, prenatal and postpartum expert, and self-proclaimed “crunchy therapy bestie,” to unpack why so many women feel unseen when it comes to hormonal and emotional health — and what we can do about it.
Dr. Powell shares her integrative approach to women’s mental health, where psychology meets functional medicine, nutrition, and real-life motherhood. Together, we talk about how to advocate for yourself in the doctor’s office, how to recognize when “normal” labs don’t match how you feel, and how to support your mood and nervous system naturally through food, rest, and connection.
And since we’re heading into the holiday season, Dr. Powell also offers her insight on mom burnout — why so many women feel pressure to make everything “perfect” and how we can reframe that into a calmer, more meaningful celebration for the whole family.
This conversation is packed with validation, wisdom, and practical takeaways to help you slow down, tune in, and start feeling like you again.
And one more fun note — Dr. Powell is also a fellow Texas A&M Aggie, which made this conversation even more special!
