episode 30. How I got my period back artwork

30. How I got my period back

talking all about period recovery, chronic stress, and what your body may be trying to communicate through it all. We discuss why not everyone loses their period, why losing it can be a sign the body is under stress, and how under eating, overexercise, food rules, anxiety around food, poor sleep, (ok I think you get it) can impact hormones and overall health. Of course touching on the fear of weight gain in recovery, nervous system regulation, the bigger picture of control and safety, and the importance of continuing to advocate for yourself medically. I’ll share how I got my period back after 4 years, and the importance of working towards this sign of health 💌 🤍 for more support: 1:1 coaching: click here to learn more [https://yourspoonful.thrivecart.com/restriction-to-freedom/]  Ig/TikTok: @your_spoonful [https://www.instagram.com/your_spoonful] email: yourspoonful@gmail.com [yourspoonful@gmail.com]

28. I was the healthy friend

reflecting on the version of me I thought I had to be vs. finding who I actually am. from being the “healthy friend” to tying my worth to my body and identity as a dancer, this episode is all about letting go of identities that no longer serve you, and making room for more of who you really are 🤎 Apply to 1:1 Coaching - Restriction to Freedom [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfN1tHvyr81zwwinxI5wl3iWjh97XBK_iGYGfbh-xMBdVVQfQ/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=105158324220588916530] 🤍 for more support: 1:1 coaching: click here to learn more [https://yourspoonful.thrivecart.com/restriction-to-freedom/]  book a free consultation call here [https://calendly.com/yourspoonful/1-1] Ig/TikTok: @your_spoonful [https://www.instagram.com/your_spoonful] email: yourspoonful@gmail.com [yourspoonful@gmail.com]
