Life can often feel like a tightrope walk, the delicate balance between health, self-care, and responsibilities teetering on the edge of overwhelming. When I was first diagnosed with PCOS, the lack of information and guidance pulled me into a spiral of health burnout. This podcast brings you along my personal journey, as I grappled with my diagnosis, found balance, learnt to build a healthy routine, and navigated lifestyle changes.

What if you could find a new perspective, one that encourages you to shift from the weight loss fixation and acknowledge the complexities of PCOS? A crucial turning point for me was realizing that the information out there was far too narrow, focusing primarily on shedding pounds. I decided to return to school, gain more knowledge, and today, I share my wisdom with you. We explore the importance of balance in your diet, lifestyle and mind. I discuss the challenge of finding restaurants that cater to your needs, and the importance of building a repertoire of healthy meals. I also share the importance of mindset and celebrating small victories, as well as the role of reframing in transformative processes.

But it's not all about what you eat, it's also about what you consume mentally. The information overload can often lead to health burnout. How then, do you sift through the noise, and unfollow accounts that do not resonate with you? This episode invites you to reflect, to understand the cyclical nature of engagement, and to prioritize self-care, especially for those with childhood trauma or perfectionism tendencies. We discuss my personal experiences with fitness and treating myself as a priority. Tune in and discover how to navigate the complexities of living with PCOS, the importance of self-care, and the power of a balanced life.
