Just a few thoughts

Well, this is a scary one for me to post but my intention is to candidly share my feelings to help normalize the internal battle that many people are having right now. I mostly definitely didn’t say everything correctly, but I’m open to learning ❤️

Yup, this one is my fave. <3

Welp, this turned into a longer story than I planned but I've had some weird health stuff lately and wanted to share. As promised in the episode, here's a list of resources that I've found: Canada: Affordable and free mental health services (https://www.mindbeacon.com/) Canada: List of 10 free mental health services 

My newest morning routine has me all fired up because it stemmed from me feeling overwhelmed in therapy.

Well, already mucked things up and said the wrong season in the first line, seems appropriate 🤷‍♀️😂

How can we know so little about something that impacts every element of our lives? I chatted with the co-founder of Your Hormone Balance (@yourhormonebalace), Candace Burch, to help us understand how integral balanced hormones are to making sure as mothers we can: Trouble focusing Depression Anxiety Heavy or painful periods Mood swings Hair loss Tender breasts Low libido Vaginal dryness PMS symptoms Hot flashes Night sweats Headaches Fatigue (tired by wired) Exhausting in the morning Difficulty falling asleep I asked her things like: What are hormones and how can you know if they're are out of whack? How do hormones relate to adrenal fatigue? What can mothers do to help balance hormones? How does exercise fit into hormone health? We also tackled more specific questions from the text group, including: What tests should you have done? Blood tests vs saliva? Is there the right time of the month to get different tests? Does what you eat affect your hormones? How are hormones related to adult acne?
