Show Notes
I lost my period at the end of 2017. I got it back in October 2025. This episode is the full story of everything in between - the doctors who told me to go on the pill, the years of half-committing to recovery, the moment I decided to say a quiet but firm no to the medical system and back myself completely. I'm covering exactly what my recovery looked like. The nutrition, the training, the lifestyle changes, and honestly the hardest part of all of it, the mental load. Because nobody talks about that part enough. This one is long, it's personal, and it's everything I wish someone had told me when I was in the thick of it. We cover: How and why I lost my period in the first place Years of mismanagement, misdiagnosis and being told to just go on the pill The moment I decided to fully commit to natural recovery What I actually changed (food, movement, sleep, lifestyle and mindset) The mental and emotional reality of recovery that nobody warns you about The night I got my period back and what it meant

Happy 1 Year Period Anniversary to Me! On today's episode I reflected back on my own period recovery journey and the mental shifts that came along with it. Recovery forced me to change my whole belief system, trust in a process I didn't even know was working and rediscover who I was before the world told me who I should be. Here are 7 quotes that rewired my brain and altered my brain chemistry and I hope that they might do the same for you. Thank you all for being here! xo
We’re kicking off this QOTW episode with a little life update. Then we’re getting into sleep - my top tips for actually getting better rest and why so many of the things we do without thinking are quietly wrecking it.
This week it’s a Q&A and we’re getting into all of it - the personal stuff and the recovery stuff. This one feels like a proper catch up and I loved every second of it.
This week I’m sharing the nutrition advice I find myself giving again and again as a women’s health coach, the stuff that actually moves the needle and that mainstream nutrition culture consistently gets wrong.
This week's question is one I think so many of us need to hear answered honestly because rest guilt is real, it is incredibly common, and it has nothing to do with being lazy.
