033 Kintsugi Stories with Luisa: From Hormonal Burnout to Cyclical Living

A special pre-birthday Kintsugi Stories episode In this episode,I share a story/essay I wrote around 6 years ago during one of the darkest chapters of my life — a time of hormonal burnout, 'disordered' eating, rushing through life, restriction, and losing my cycle. I share more in depth about: ✨ How I lost my cycle in my 20s after coming of 'the pill' ✨ Why I experienced night sweats, insomnia & pre-menopausal symptoms at only 27 ✨ The stress, restriction, overexercising & nervous system dysregulation behind my hormonal burnout ✨ Feeling dismissed, judged & unsupported by doctors during one of the most vulnerable times of my life ✨ The emotional impact of feeling disconnected from my body, femininity & inner safety ✨ How recovering my cycle naturally became the beginning of returning to myself & cyclical living If this resonates, lets connect @yoniversityoflove [https://www.instagram.com/yoniversityoflove] :)

031 From Survival Mode to Softness: A Return to Yourself

In this episode, I explore the quiet difference between living in survival mode and living in regulation — through the small, everyday moments where we either override our bodies… or start to listen. But this inspired the deeper intention of this episode: it’s about self-respect, body awareness, and learning to live in a way that actually supports your nervous system. The golden threat: your two inner voices — dysregulation vs regulation and why ✨ Rest and why it feels so hard to allow ✨ Emotions as signals, not something to suppress ✨ The habit of pushing through and overriding your body ✨ Nourishment, boundaries, and daily self-support ✨ Living in rhythm instead of constant pressure If this resonates and you feel ready to go deeper, my 1:1 container Unfolding Rose is a space where we gently reconnect you with your body, your cycle, and your inner voice — so you can move through life with more softness, clarity, and trust.
