On this episode, let's scroll forward and take a closer look at what's going on in our bodies during (peri-)menopause. Not just for older women! Whether you're in your 20's, 30's, 40's or 50's, this information is extremely beneficial. The habits you create when you're younger greatly determine what your menopause experience will be like.
I'll be explaining exactly what peri-menopause is, the hormonal changes, and the typical symptoms. And then, of course, we'll talk about how you can use exercise and good nutrition to make the experience far less dramatic. Lots of information and plenty of practical action steps. MORE RESOURCES:
![Mom Guilt: Handling Those Feelings of Inadequacy and Distinguishing Them from True Conviction [Ep. 38]](/uploads/5/6/6/2/56625651/published/motherhood-depression-46.png?1579652593) Mom Guilt: Handling Those Feelings of Inadequacy and Distinguishing Them from True Conviction [Ep. 38]Mom-guilt is not healthy nor appropriate in any situation, yet we feel it all the time. We're constantly aware of a general sense that we're dropping the ball or we're not "good enough" at managing life. Whether we feel this pressure of inadequacy internally or from our social circles, we need to be aware of it and learn to let it go. The most obvious areas of mom-guilt are parenting choices, household duties, our professional careers, time spent in relationships, and even our own self-care with our decisions about exercise and eating. So, on this episode, Scott and I have a deep conversation about how to spot the source of mom-guilt and powerfully confirm our right-standing as moms before the Lord. We're also going to make a clear and important distinction between mom-guilt and true Holy Spirit conviction. What if the guilt that you're feeling is actually a prodding from the Lord?

[Ep. 29]](/uploads/5/6/6/2/56625651/published/motherhood-depression-37.png?1573503075) Feeling Alone: What to do when your family isn't on board with your health choices. [Ep. 29]We all crave to be supported, especially by the ones we love the most. But we don't often get this luxury. Usually, we're trying to make healthy choices in an environment that may not be very conducive to our success. More often than not, our own home and family members can feel like the biggest obstacles standing between us and our goals. And not only that, but we truly desire for our family members to jump on board and make the same healthy changes with us! Isn't that ideal?? On this episode, Scott and I chat about having the right attitude with our health and fitness journey, and how you can be a powerful influence in your home without being aggressive or forceful. We talk about the do's and don'ts for when your family isn't on board with you: phrases you should and should not say, how to ask for their support with humility, and how to stay focused on the things you CAN change, not the things you can't.
