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.
