If you’ve ever wished your hormones came with a tutorial — sis, they do. It’s called The Merrily Method. 💅

In this episode of Get it Together; Period, I’m breaking down my signature framework for cycle syncing:
M.E.R.R. — Move, Eat, Rest, Reflect.

It’s basically Solo Leveling for your hormones. Every phase is a new quest, every habit a skill upgrade, and every reflection a chance to build main-character energy.

After delayed ovulation and a period that felt personally vengeful, I realized I didn’t need more discipline — I needed simplicity, rest, and honesty.

In this episode, I’m walking you through the five things I did to reset my cycle and move my body out of survival mode:

1. Accepting what I couldn’t control

2. Tracking my cycle again

3. Fasting during my period to support repair + clarity

4. Sacrificing productivity for intentional rest

5. Returning to phase-friendly foods that nourish, not deplete

This episode will help you recognize when your body is asking for safety, not pressure — and how nervous system peace is the foundation for hormone balance.

If you’ve been feeling “off,” disconnected from your body, or stuck in burnout, this conversation will feel like an exhale.

Let’s get it together — period. 💅🏽

What happens when you push your body too far for too long?
In this episode, I share how months of chronic stress threw my hormones completely out of balance — from adrenal fatigue and anxiety to the worst period I’ve had in years.

You’ll hear how I ended up in survival mode, how I recognized the hormonal red flags (low progesterone, poor sleep, painful cramps), and what I’m doing to rebuild my energy and balance naturally.

💡 You’ll learn:

• What survival mode actually does to your hormones

• How stress affects your thyroid, cortisol & cycle

• Signs your progesterone is low

• Why your period pain might be connected to lifestyle burnout

• The power of faith + mindset during hormone recovery

PLUS: how to start creating systems that protect your peace before burnout hits.

If you’re healing from stress, burnout, or hormone imbalance — this one’s for you. 🫶🏽
