In this episode, I break down the idea of “hormone optimization” and why it’s not an actual scientific process. It’s a term that gets thrown around a lot online, but it sets women up to believe there’s a perfect hormone number or a perfect strategy and that’s not how menopause works

I share what optimization really means, what it doesn’t mean and how to think about supporting your body in a way that’s realistic.

Today’s episode is all about gratitude, the real kind.

Not the cheesy version. Not the “just be positive” version.

The kind that actually shifts how your body feels in menopause.

We’re talking about why gratitude matters physically (hello, nervous system), why it matters emotionally and why it’s best to practice on the days you need it most. I’m also sharing a Thanksgiving story that might surprise you, because it's all about perspective.

And of course, why gratitude has nothing to do with pretending that symptoms feel good.

This episode is a full masterclass I originally created for my private Facebook group, and I wanted to bring it here because it’s one of the most helpful conversations you can have heading into the holidays.

I’m sharing two tools I use with all my clients, tools that don’t require anyone else to behave differently, but can completely change the way you navigate food, family and all the emotions that come with the day.

These are practical, doable shifts you can use right away, whether you’re hosting a big, loud holiday or spending it on your own.
