Summary
Today I'm serving up a big old hot mess of hormone truth for my girls who love Jesus and fitness but want to have a cup of coffee, some spicy food, or dark chocolate without a hot flash and are desperate to feel good again and get that hormone weight off.
I prayed so much about whether or not I should share this, but I believe God wants us to be real about our struggles and what He has brought us through. Don't you? That doesn't mean it's going to be easy though...
Honestly, I'm a bit nervous to open up about my hot mess of a hormone journey because I feel very exposed and vulnerable, but I wish I would have had someone tell me the things that I'm going to share with you today.
Although every woman's hormone journey is different, and I'm not a doctor, it feels good to know that you're not alone!
If you love the Strong. Confident. His. Podcast, will you do 2 things for me?
1. Support this mission and follow me on Facebook and Instagram
Okay, sweet-sister-friend, grab a cup of coffee and join me as I overshare about my journey through perimenopause and into menopause and 5 THINGS I DID THAT REALLY HELPED.
Do any of these sound familiar?
- Feeling unlike yourself...could it be perimenopause or menopause?
- Insomnia, hot flashes, weight gain, anxiety, depression, ugh!
- Hormones making you feel like you're going to lose it?
- Feeling very really alone, and like no one gets it or cares?
- Wonder how long it takes to feel better and when it's going to end?
I believe God wants us to share everything we can to help others.
Please consider sharing this or even your story with another Christian sister.
We cannot be quiet about our real-life struggles and what God has brought us through.
Remember Fit Sister in Christ, you are Strong. Confident. His.
P.S.
TRUTH TALK: I'm nervous sharing this and I may take this episode down. It feels almost too personal like I'm way oversharing. This was a really hard time of my life but I know I'm not the only one who feels desperate for answers.
