This episode promises to shift your perspective on boundaries from barriers to bridges, connecting you to a life of respect, trust, and self-improvement.
Have you ever felt like setting boundaries is synonymous with sparking conflict? Let's unravel that misconception together.

Today, I'm inviting you into my personal journey with birth control and hormones. I was on the pill for a decade before I decided to seek a more natural way of controlling hormones. I was battling acne and the lack of information about the long-term effects of birth control had me worried. I started researching and found that hormones play a vital role in our health that extends beyond just our reproductive system. I'm going to share the insights I've gained through my personal experiences, and my ongoing battle with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
While birth control is a convenient form of contraception, it also introduces a level of stress into our bodies - and I'm not just talking about the daily grind. Prolonged trauma can have a significant impact on your hormonal health, manifesting as physical disease. So, I transitioned off the pill, and though challenging, it's a process that's taught me the importance of patience and dedication. I'll share my holistic approach to handling these changes and managing stress, which includes understanding how stress affects our gut microbiome and cortisol levels.
However, addressing hormonal health isn't just about medication or supplements; it's also about looking at lifestyle factors. In particular, it's important to address issues like stress and trauma that can contribute to hormonal imbalances. I’m going to give you honest advice on making lifestyle changes that I've found beneficial, and tips on maintaining a healthy diet. This episode is all about honoring our bodies, cycles, and the small but impactful changes we can make in our everyday lives. So, join me as we explore the less discussed side effects of birth control, and work towards a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.
