The Secret to Gaining Control When Life Feels Like It's Falling Apart
What if the fatigue, mood swings, and lack of motivation you’re battling aren’t just “life stress” but your hormones waving a red flag?
In this episode, Kelly Renee shares her deeply personal journey of discovering that her exhaustion and emotional struggles weren’t about weakness or depression; they were about dangerously low hormone levels. From testosterone pellets to weekly injections, Kelly pulls back the curtain on hormone replacement therapy, mindset struggles, and the hard lessons she’s learned about listening to your body instead of just pushing harder.
She also opens up about how betrayal, loss, and failed marriages shaped her mindset, why she no longer attaches herself to outcomes, and how she’s learning (and still struggling) to trust her gut, value actions over words, and live life without fear.
This episode is equal parts hormone health education and life coaching session, packed with the tough love and honesty you’ve come to expect from Fiercely Unfiltered.
