E007: I’m Back: Pausing, Reflecting & Rising Again

Loading player...

After a pause (because, well… life happens — from my mom’s surgery to school transitions and everything in between), I’m back behind the mic with fresh perspective and renewed energy.

In this episode, I open up about the beauty of taking a step back — how stillness can bring clarity, and how to gently move from reflection back into aligned action.

I also share some exciting new research about the neural system surrounding the ovary and what it means for women’s emotional and physical wellbeing in midlife.

We’ll close with a dose of encouragement and a little preview of the meaningful conversations and topics coming your way. 💫

Welcome back to Nourish & Align — where we grow, heal, and rise together.
