Have you ever been told your hormones are “normal” — but you know something feels off?Maybe your moods are unpredictable, your patience is gone, or you feel like you’re just holding it all together — especially during the holidays.In this episode of Inspired Wellness, Michelle and Tabitha sit down with Dr. Abigail Powell, a licensed clinical psychologist, prenatal and postpartum expert, and self-proclaimed “crunchy therapy bestie,” to unpack why so many women feel unseen when it comes to hormonal and emotional health — and what we can do about it.Dr. Powell shares her integrative approach to women’s mental health, where psychology meets functional medicine, nutrition, and real-life motherhood. Together, we talk about how to advocate for yourself in the doctor’s office, how to recognize when “normal” labs don’t match how you feel, and how to support your mood and nervous system naturally through food, rest, and connection.And since we’re heading into the holiday season, Dr. Powell also offers her insight on mom burnout — why so many women feel pressure to make everything “perfect” and how we can reframe that into a calmer, more meaningful celebration for the whole family.This conversation is packed with validation, wisdom, and practical takeaways to help you slow down, tune in, and start feeling like you again.And one more fun note — Dr. Powell is also a fellow Texas A&M Aggie, which made this conversation even more special! What You’ll Learn in This EpisodeWhy “normal” labs don’t always mean you feel normalHow to advocate for yourself without feeling pushy or dismissedThe connection between hormones, mood, and mental healthSimple nutritional strategies to support emotional stabilityHow to manage holiday stress and mom burnoutWhat it means to create a happier family by supporting the mother firstConnect with Dr. Abigail Powell Location: Grapevine, TX https://www.villagepsychllc.com/ Instagram: @villagepsychllc Facebook: VillagepsychllcFollow along for updates on her upcoming small group series! Questions or topic requests?

Most of us don’t give much thought to blood sugar until a doctor mentions “pre-diabetes” or diabetes. But here’s the reality: blood sugar regulation is one of the most powerful levers for how we feel day to day, how we age, and our long-term risk for disease. And the early signs often show up years before lab work confirms a problem.In this episode, Michelle and Tabitha break down:The three key blood markers your doctor might check (fasting glucose, HbA1C, and fasting insulin) — and why fasting insulin is often the earliest red flag.Everyday clues your blood sugar may be out of balance—like energy crashes, cravings, stubborn weight gain, or brain fog.Simple, practical strategies you can implement right away, from prioritizing protein and fiber, to walking after meals, to using the “veggies first” eating hack.Why stress and sleep play such a big role in blood sugar control, sometimes even more than food.Fun hacks like apple cider vinegar (ACV)—how it works, why it helps, and easy ways to add it into your routine.How a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) can give powerful, personalized insights—even if you don’t have diabetes.Whether you’re navigating perimenopause or menopause, or you just want steady energy, clear focus, and long-term protection for your brain and heart, this episode will give you the tools to start balancing your blood sugar today. Questions or topic requests?

Have you ever noticed that when you feel moody, irritable, or just… off, it’s not always because of your hormones, your sleep, or what you ate? Sometimes, it’s simply because there’s too much noise.In this episode of Inspired Wellness, Michelle and Tab unpack the hidden cost of noise—how the constant bombardment of sounds, information, and inner chatter overwhelms our nervous systems, especially during perimenopause and menopause. And more importantly, why silence—something so simple—can be one of the most healing tools we have.From the rising flood of information we take in daily (hundreds of “newspapers’ worth” compared to our mothers’ generation), to the three main types of noise we face, Michelle shares both the science and the strategies behind finding calm in a noisy world.What You’ll Learn in This EpisodeThe three types of noise that shape our lives: auditory, informational, and internal—and how each one keeps our cortisol high.Why silence is not “wasted time” but essential rest and repair for your brain and nervous system.Relatable examples of how constant noise impacts mood, focus, and even physical health.Practical strategies to invite more quiet into your day—like doing a personal “noise audit,” creating daily rituals of silence, and using nature as a reset.How to reframe silence as a gift for yourself and for your family, especially your kids.Why protecting your quiet time is even more critical on draining days (work meetings, sports events, caregiving).Key TakeawaySilence doesn’t have to mean hours of meditation or escaping to a cabin in the woods. It can be as simple as five intentional minutes in the car, a moment in the shower, or pausing before you answer a text.And because this episode is shorter than usual, Michelle invites you to give it a try right now. Instead of pressing play on your next podcast, take those few extra minutes to give your mind and nervous system the quiet they desperately need.  Questions or topic requests?

I’m wondering if that might be something we’re both navigating. Can we talk about it?”“I’ve noticed my moods have been all over the place, and I’m struggling to explain it. I’m learning it could be related to hormone changes. I want to work on this and would like for you to learn with me.”“I read that estrogen affects how the brain uses energy and regulates mood. That’s wild, right? I had no idea it could impact how I think or react. I want us both to understand what this means for our relationship.” “Hormones are part of the picture, and I want us to learn how they’re showing up for both of us so we can meet each other with more understanding.” Resources & Links Mentioned in This Episode:Connect with Brooke on Instagram: @marriageinperimenopauseLearn more about Brooke’s upcoming course The Hormone-Informed Midlife Marriage (launching Fall 2025) [Website link]Studies referenced in this episode:Meng, L., Zhang, J., et al.
