📘 Episode Show Notes

Welcome back to the LadyTime Learning Podcast! Today, we’re continuing our Meet Your Hormones series—this time with a deep dive into the hormone that often gets overshadowed by estrogen but quietly influences everything from mood to fertility: progesterone.

If you’ve ever wondered why you feel anxious before your period, struggle with heavy bleeds, deal with PMS for what feels like forever, or experience sleep issues around your cycle… this episode is for you.

🌙 Where progesterone comes from — and why ovulation (and stress!) matter more than you think.
🔍 How to tell if you’re low in progesterone using Ellora’s 5-finger symptom check.
💛 Why progesterone is essential not just for fertility, but for bone health, blood vessel function, mood regulation, and your brain.
🧠 The connection between progesterone + anxiety, sleep, and overall well-being.
🌿 A beginner-friendly herbal spotlight on lavender — including how to make your own lavender-infused coconut oil for calming massages (baby-safe + body-friendly!).
📅 Behind the scenes of Ellora’s upcoming programs — including the InTune live cohort and the year-long membership, The Parlor, packed with workshops/tea parties, embodiment practices, and deep hormonal education.

This episode blends science, body wisdom, and practical herbal magic—all in one nourishing listen.
