| 0:12.2 | Here on the Balance Life podcast, you'll find honest conversations on health, wellness, self-care, work-life balance, and everything in between. We'll cover it all and provide |
| 0:22.6 | inspiration, resources, and practical tips to help you create your own uniquely balanced life |
| 0:29.4 | and become the healthiest version of yourself, inside and out. And today, we are talking all |
| 0:36.4 | about hormones. I know that may not seem like the most exciting topic |
| 0:40.6 | right off the bat, but let me tell you, hormones are at the heart of our wellness. They are at the |
| 0:46.7 | heart of our life, how we feel each day, how our body functions. And it's one of the things that I |

| 1:50.0 | hormones and acne and voices cracking and bodies changing and, you know, from a young age, |
| 1:56.5 | it just feels like hormones are causing all of these problems. Maybe you can relate to that. |
| 2:01.7 | The stereotypes and the negative stigma can continue as we grow into women and we have a period |
