Welcome to The Business & Mom Life Integration Series of the Prosper & Flourish Podcast!

This month of the series, we are discussing “Crisis Management”

• Why high-achieving women often dismiss hormonal symptoms as “just stress” or “part of motherhood”
• The connection between hormones, cortisol, and burnout in entrepreneur moms constantly balancing business and family
• How hormonal shifts impact energy, focus, patience, sleep, mood, and overall performance
• Why women in perimenopause often feel unlike themselves — even while still managing careers, children, and households
• The difference between normal aging and symptoms that may actually be hormone-related
• Modern approaches to helping women regain energy, mental clarity, confidence, and overall wellness through proactive care

Our guest, Dr. Lo, shares clear, non-alarmist education on common hormone shifts (PMS/PMDD, postpartum, perimenopause) and how they show up under stress; how to tell the difference between “normal stress” and hormone-driven symptoms; practical, evidence-based next steps (what to track, what labs/questions to ask, what lifestyle levers actually help); how entrepreneurs can plan work, sleep, and recovery around hormonal realities; and red flags for when to seek professional care.

Welcome to The Business & Mom Life Integration Series of the Prosper & Flourish Podcast!
