I am not here on an agenda about birth control. My agenda is on advocating for more conversations on Women's health, bodies, and hormones. We have the right to feel informed and empowered when it comes to our bodies. I provide information from books and podcasts of Physicians explaining birth control, bio individuality, sex hormones, and more! Check these resources out!

Books:

 “This Is Your Brain on Birth Control.” Sarah E. Hill, PhD

“Beyond the Pill.” Dr. Jolene Brighten

My whole platform here is in balance and teaching healthy lifestyles and to be able to recognize when things aren't serving you.  
Knowing and implementing what serves you and what doesn’t is crucial not only to you, but to anyone you surround yourself with. 
WE ARE ALL INFLUENCERS. 
Our children, spouses, and friends are watching us. We can preach on self-care until we are blue in the face. 
Do you live as you preach? 
Do you live as you believe your child/spouse/friend deserves to live?

Time for a check in! I hope this short episode gives you some food for thought. You've got this!

We talk about: 

 -Connection between how we soothe ourselves with food when it comes to feeling overwhelmed and crazy and exhausted or anxious 
"A lot of people are sitting down at night, and they're like, is this really how life is? Like, I just put out fires all day, and I sit down on the couch and numb out with Netflix and ice cream. And so we really start there. And then once we figure that out, we can kind of move forward to having them make choices that are in alignment with their goals."

- Stress responses: three different stress reactions.  People either compete, they avoid, or they accommodate. Which one are you??

- Ways that clients fall into the trap of needing food as emotional support because they run themselves so thin throughout the day.  When they hit that final note at the end of the day, they're so depleted and exhausted.

-How do we go from knowing to doing? From information to action?

-Body image issues versus weight issues

-Small steps towards positive relationships with your body

-Advice on what step to avoid!

Enjoy!
