For those who need a little taste, here is a brief excerpt:

EXCERPT FROM SOCIAL CURRENCY

Beauty is our focus as women. Not by choice, but by conditioning. We’re told being beautiful is our ticket to acceptance. Our natural tendency is a desire towards being chosen for the unique form of beauty we express. Which is why women both respect and desire the social currency of beauty. But this desire has been harnessed against us - it’s been emphasized and prioritized by culture to the extent that it’s expected from all women, all the time, in every scenario.

What started as a tendency and a basic desire has mutated into a craving, an addiction fed by every message convincing women they aren’t enough until they’re beautiful...and once they are, they better fight like hell to not let it slip away.

So today instead of just going with that craving, let us understand it together.

The heart of a champion is in all of us! But what separates the true greats? The ones who rise above everyone else. The ones who never accept defeat because winning is so ingrained in their DNA that its just what they do.

They Win!

I recently watched the documentary "The Last Dance." The story of the last championship season from the legendary Chicago Bulls in the late nineties. Led by Michael Jordan, the documentary follows the trials, tribulations and amazing success that the team had during that season.
 
But more than anything it followed the never give up, leave everything on the court, losing is not an option mentality that Michael Jordan had in every day of his life.

This mindset is true in other greats in every sport. So come with me today as we look at the small changes we all can implement to be a GREAT in everything we do!

I’ve touched on what estrogen dominance is, so now it’s time to start healing your hormones! Together, lets take that education and start applying it to help heal hormonal imbalances.

In today's podcast we discuss 6 ways to naturally treat hormonal imbalances to get you feeling better and back on the right track.

With this list plus the past episode 071: Dealing with Estrogen Dominance, you will have the education and nohow to understand your body better and make the necessary changes.

In this episode I mentioned Organifi GOLD before bed. This is a potent turmeric drink that’ll balance your cortisol levels as you sleep, hydrate you and decrease inflammation. As a women who uses this nightly (and my husband) I highly recommend it. I also mentioned 3 links. Those are below:

1. DIM
2. NAC
3. Vitamin B Complex

 Remember there is hope! Never stop asking questions and empowering yourself to take control of your health.

“What is a healthy relationship?” With every relationship being different this could be a challenge to understand. But what if the answer is easier than you think?

We talked about promoting our childrens good mental health in a previous podcast and through research from leading psychologists much of what has been used to help parents create lasting loving bonds with their children can also be used to help and nurture healthy relationships with a spouse.

So what are the 4 S’s? If you guessed Sex, sorry not correct! But lets understand he 4 S's together!!!

For more Health talk or to better understand your body head over to Mickayla Stoner Fitness or catch inspirational content socially with Facebook or Instagram.

We love you and as always thanks for tuning in.
