I’m sharing the journey I went through during 2024 in this episode, focusing on finding effective stress management tools and enhancing hormonal health. Traditional stress relief methods didn't work for me, so I explored alternatives like the Align Mat, which has been a game changer in calming my nervous system. I also discuss launching my line of hormone creams, overcoming the challenges that the launch brought on, and the positive reception from women dealing with perimenopause and menopause. I examine the synergistic benefits of progesterone and melatonin for improving sleep and hormonal balance, and emphasize the importance of embracing authenticity and change during midlife transitions.
