128. Pain Is Not the Enemy with Colleen Jorgensen (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As our hormones shift, so much in the body shifts with them. Sleep. Mood. Skin. And one of the most unexpected? Pain. Maybe it's a frozen shoulder that shows up out of nowhere. Maybe it's a knee that aches on the stairs for no reason. It can feel like your body flipped a switch overnight, and you're left wondering why you suddenly feel like the Tin Man. That's exactly what we dig into this week with returning guest Colleen Jorgensen. Colleen spent years being told her chronic pain was "all in he
127. What's Actually In Your Tampon with Cherie Hoeger (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We don't think twice about the products we put in our bodies every single month for decades, but conventional pads and tampons can carry endocrine-disrupting chemicals, and the FDA doesn't even require companies to list what's in them.

Read excerpt
So many of us assume our hormones are the villain the moment things start feeling off. Our cycle, our sleep, our patience with everyone we love. And sometimes that is exactly what is happening. But so often, what looks like a hormone problem is actually a nervous system that has been running on urgency for years, quietly asking for support it never got. In this episode, Kate sits down with nervous system specialist Sarah Tacy to talk about why so many women default to a pattern Sarah calls "I'm
124. Why Now Is the Time to Plan Your Self-Care Day (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two weeks until school starts — and if you're like most of the women I work with, you're running on fumes. Summer is magic for the kids and an invisible-labour marathon for the moms behind it. In this episode, I'm talking about why this exact window, right before the school year starts, is your body's cue to slow down — not speed up — and why I want you to book a self-care day that absolutely no one knows about. In this episode we explore: Why the end of summer mirrors your luteal phase and the
