Episode 29: The Progesterone Piece - Reclaiming Your Sacred Cycle
Rage-crying over nothing? Zero patience? Lying awake at 2am even though you're exhausted?
Your progesterone is probably depleted.
Progesterone isn't just a hormone - it's the FEMININE. The softness. The receptivity. The ability to rest and receive.
And when it's gone, you're running on cortisol only - pure masculine energy, pushing and surviving.
You can't be the priestess of your motherhood from that place.
In this episode, I break down:
What progesterone is and why women need TWO hormones (not just estrogen)
What depleted progesterone feels like (and why you feel like you can't cope anymore)
The cortisol steal: how stress destroys progesterone to make cortisol instead
Why modern motherhood keeps you depleted and running on survival mode
What your body needs to make progesterone (and why ovulation matters)
How to restore progesterone: nervous system regulation, nutritional support, adaptogens, boundaries, bioidentical progesterone
Why reclaiming progesterone is about reclaiming your feminine power
This isn't just about supplements. This is about listening to what your body is trying to tell you.
