June 20, 2024 62. Manifesting Your Inner Desires with Stephanie Hickey
Let's talk about sex... love and relationships. In this (spicy) episode we discuss how our desires (not only in sex, but in life) are like beacons for our life. We don't always have to answer the call of the desire- yet we get to choose what to do with it. But there's a lot of power in knowing what you want. These are messages for you about what lights you up at your very core.
Stephanie addresses how women are often very much in 'to do' mode and more rarely in 'being' mode - this loses the softness we long for, the pace of life we long for.
This is especially true for mothers and care-takers and we dive into how you can learn to shift into "being" mode which will recharge you in many ways.
Stephanie Hickey is sex, love and relationship coach with a special interest in helping women take the necessary steps to take radical self-responsibility for their own pleasure, for the love they deserve, and in their relationships.
She helps women create desire-led lives by guiding women through the journey of identifying and manifesting their inner desires by coaching them through a blend of scientific, mystical, rational and intuitive embodiment practices.

May 30, 2024 59. Optimizing your Hormones with Tasha Stevens
For women, our 28-day cycle and hormone fluctuations influence everything from energy levels, metabolism, productivity, hunger levels, ability to workout, and social desires. Traditional "health" culture can perpetuate the perfectionist mindset because we feel we have to be the same, do the same, each and every day.
However, when we optimize our hormone cycle and learn how to truly nourish our body in a way that supports its needs each day we not only see our health transform but break away from that pressure to be "perfect" to get results.

In this episode:
What is normal?
Understanding symptoms
Estrogen dominence
High Cortisol
Small additions to diet & routine for big impact
Tasha Stevens is a Integrative Clinical Nutritionist, B.S., CPT, Pilates Instructor, and Founder of Happy Hormone Health. Living with 6 autoimmune diseases, for years she struggled with symptoms that controlled her life and found there was little to no support from her doctors. By addressing the root cause of her system disruption, her life transformed. She has coached 2000 women in reclaiming their energy, living symptom-free, and transforming their health through hormone balance nutrition.
