Ever caught yourself saying, “It must be my hormones”?
You’re not alone — and you’re not wrong. But what if you could stop feeling at the mercy of your hormones and start working with them instead?
I’m joined by Ashley Rocha, trained herbalist, hormone educator, and founder of Ladywell, to talk about what your hormones are really doing, how they impact your identity, and what you can do (without overwhelm) to feel clear, calm and connected again.
Ashley breaks down the basics of hormone function and explains why perimenopause isn’t about chaos — it’s about learning to listen to your body and building small, sustainable habits to support it.
This is an empowering, myth-busting conversation that will help you feel more in control of your health — without needing to do all the things.
In our conversation we’re unwrapping:
Why hormone imbalance can feel like an identity crisis.
That lifestyle factors like diet and sleep significantly impact hormonal health.
How balance is about working with your body, not striving for perfection.
How magnesium, adaptogens and cycle tracking can help.
The role of stress, sleep and food in creating balance.
Why supplements aren’t a quick fix, but how they can be powerful tools in your toolkit.
That quality and formulation of supplements matter for effectiveness.
3 simple strategies to create hormone-supportive habits at any life stage.
