If you’re tired of burning out every month, this might help.

For years I thought feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, moody, starving or wired-but-tired every few weeks was just… part of being a woman.
A busy one. With a child. A job. And a brain that doesn’t switch off.

Then I realised my body wasn’t failing,
it was trying to communicate.

Our hormones shift every week, but most of us eat, move and expect ourselves to perform like we’re the same woman every single day.
No wonder it feels like living in a body with different settings that nobody gave us the manual for.

I’m not into complicated wellness routines or 7-step morning rituals.
I don’t want another thing to manage.

I just wanted something that made my life easier.

So here’s what I do:
I batch cook my Protein Banana Breakfast Bake, slice it up and freeze it.
Then on the days where life is lifing, I grab a slice, warm it up and top it based on the phase of my cycle, to support what my body is already doing instead of fighting it.

Not rules.
Not restriction.
Not perfection.

Just one small tweak that stabilises my blood sugar, supports my nervous system, and stops me from living on coffee and crumbs when life is full.

Because the alternative is trying to power through, and we are done with that.

Why I keep banging on about stress…

Because I tried EVERYTHING!!

I tried to fix my hormones by:
• Changing my diet
• Cutting things out
• Adding supplements
• Training harder
• Trying different pills
• Forcing motivation
• Doing everything “right”

And I still felt:
• Exhausted
• Bloated
• Snappy and emotional
• Wired but tired
• Like I had zero resilience
• Like my body was constantly working against me

And that’s exactly what those slides are showing ⬇️

When cortisol is running the show, when your nervous system is constantly in survival mode, your hormones don’t stand a chance.

Cortisol sits at the top of the hormone hierarchy.

When it’s high, your body down-regulates everything else:
• Progesterone → drops (hello PMS + anxiety)
• Oestrogen → gets dominant (bloating, breast tenderness, mood swings)
• Digestion → slows (stomach inflamed + bloating)
• Blood sugar → crashes (cravings + energy rollercoaster)
• Sleep → falls apart

And this is why so you feel like you’re failing, when actually:

⭐ Your body is trying to protect you.

Most hormone support ignores this foundation, they jump straight to supplements, strict nutrition, or protocols…
But if the nervous system isn’t regulated, nothing sticks.

That’s why I talk about stress so much.
It’s not just mindset.
It’s not optional.

It’s the missing piece no one ever taught us.
And it’s the reason my hormone support approach includes nervous system work as a core part, not an add-on.

It’s the thing that finally changed everything for me, and for my clients.

If this landed, and you’re tired of doing it alone…
It all starts with a 30-minute chat, a space to talk through what’s going on and see if support together feels right.

No pressure. No committing to anything.
Just a conversation.
