Sally sits down with one of her real-life besties, ex-athlete and media powerhouse Katie Williams, for a brutally honest, laugh-out-loud, and deeply healing convo on what life looks like behind the scenes - when your hormones are tanked, your heart is broken, and you’re living on coffee, Biscoff and sheer willpower.

From gut issues and grief to supplement stacking and cycle syncing, this episode is a full-body exhale for any woman navigating chaos, cravings, or a complete reset.

💥 Key Takeaways

• You can eat well and still emotionally eat. That’s real life, not failure.

• Supplements help but mixing too many can actually cause issues like metallic taste, gut upset, or overwhelm.

• Sometimes recovery is more important than performance. Period.

• Bloating, burnout, and cravings are often tied to under-eating early in the day (yep, even if you’re “eating clean”).

• There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to hormones, healing, or hot chocolate.
