Have you ever been told your symptoms are “just part of being a woman”?
Headaches that never fully go away.
Leaky bladder after childbirth.
Constant fatigue.
Hormonal shifts that feel overwhelming.
So often, women are told these things are normal. But normal does not mean optimal.
In today’s episode, we’re joined by a powerful voice in women’s health who is redefining what resilience truly looks like. We dive into whole-body healing, nervous system regulation, and why addressing stress physiology is often the missing piece in chronic symptoms, pain, and fatigue.
If you’ve been pushing through discomfort or quietly managing symptoms for years, this conversation will challenge you to rethink what’s possible.
You don’t have to accept survival mode. You can build resilience. You can heal. You can thrive.
What We Cover in This Episode:
Why “normal” symptoms aren’t always healthy
The connection between the nervous system and chronic pain
How stress impacts women’s hormones, fatigue, and recovery
What heart rate variability (HRV) tells us about resilience
Why postpartum symptoms like bladder leaks shouldn’t be ignored
The difference between managing symptoms and true healing
What it means to live a resilient lifestyle in every season of life
Key Takeaways:
Chronic headaches, fatigue, and pelvic floor symptoms may be common — but they are not something you simply have to live with.
Nervous system regulation is foundational for long-term healing.
Stress resilience impacts hormones, energy levels, inflammation, and recovery.
Heart rate variability can offer insight into how well your body adapts to stress.
True health care for women must look beyond surface-level symptom management.
Questions to Reflect On:
What symptoms have I accepted as “normal”?
Where might stress be impacting my body more than I realize?
Am I managing symptoms — or working toward deeper healing?
What would thriving actually look like in this season of my life?
