This week, I’m walking you through something you’ve asked about for a long time—what a day in my life actually looks like. I’m sharing the rhythms, rituals, and real choices I lean on to support my hormones, energy, and clarity.

My days vary, but they’re shaped with intention. I talk about the supplements that help me feel steady, how I organize my week to focus on clinic, content, and creativity, and why mornings are my favorite time of day. I also reflect on the ways I check in with myself emotionally, the value of protein and movement, and what I’ve learned about prioritizing what matters most. I hope it gives you a few ideas to explore what works for you, too.

Key Takeaways

Start with Presence – Mornings begin with herbal tea, lemon, and bitters to gently activate digestion and bring focus.

Structure in Themes – Organizing days by focus (clinic, content, brand, Embody) helps maintain flow and purpose.

Supplements That Make a Difference – Creatine, fish oil, zinc, vitamin E, and probiotics are key players in Nat’s current support stack.

Weight Training and Protein Matter – Prioritizing strength and nourishment brings steadiness and supports hormone health.

Create Space to Reset – Pausing between 9 and 10 AM and starting Mondays slowly helps maintain energy and clarity across the week.

Stay Emotionally Aware – Checking in with your body and emotions creates space to respond intentionally rather than react on autopilot.

Have you ever wondered how I glide through airports, avoid jet lag, and keep my body feeling amazing when I’m on the move? In this solo episode, I share my favorite travel strategies, including how I plan my trips, pack light, and adjust quickly to new time zones. I love every part of travel and want you to feel the same ease and confidence. These practical tips will help you plan your trips with intention, stay calm when things change, and feel strong and balanced no matter where your journey takes you.

Key Takeaways

Jet Lag is a Mind Game – Your mindset shapes your experience; expecting jet lag makes it worse, while staying positive helps you adapt faster.

Carry-On Mastery – Traveling with carry-on only keeps you nimble, minimizes stress, and saves precious time in airports.

Flexible Planning Wins – Embracing flexibility and rolling with unexpected changes turns travel mishaps into smooth adventures.

Strategic Sleep Routine – Timing sleep on long-haul flights and using meditative techniques can ease jet lag and improve arrival energy.

Essential Supplements – Packing Mbody, MSM, magnesium, and fish oil supports digestion, reduces inflammation, and keeps you feeling strong.

Packing with Purpose – Planning outfits in advance avoids overpacking and ensures you use every item you bring, even on longer trips.

What do you do when you’re high-functioning on the outside but falling apart inside? In this episode, I’m joined by Kathryn Carter, whose story stopped me in my tracks. She was leading teams, raising a family, traveling for work, and then found herself sobbing in a change room because they didn’t have her size. That moment cracked something open.

Kathryn shares what it was like to experience perimenopause without knowing it. Years of symptoms she brushed off as stress, including brain fog, overwhelm, and emotional outbursts that didn’t make sense at the time. Together we explore why so many women are caught off guard, how early it can start, and the emotional cost of not being prepared. This one is raw, real, and a reminder that perimenopause isn’t something you deal with later. It’s already happening for so many of us, and we deserve better conversations now.

Key Takeaways

Perimenopause starts earlier than you think – Many women begin experiencing symptoms in their 30s without realizing it.

Invisible symptoms are real – Brain fog, emotional swings, and fatigue are often overlooked or dismissed.

It’s not just stress – Many women misread hormonal shifts as personal failure or mental burnout.

Silence is costing us – Most women aren’t talking about perimenopause with their mothers, partners, or doctors.

We need new norms – It’s time to educate ourselves and the next generation about every life stage, not just puberty or pregnancy.

You’re not alone – Sharing our stories is the first step in feeling seen, heard, and supported.
