Key Quotes From the Show
“Be really, really gentle with yourself and allow yourself to emerge into a totally new space at this time in your life.”
“We tend to look at all the reasons when something is off––like I’m stressed, I’m overworked, I’m grieving––and forget that there can sometimes actually be a biological reason.”
“Rather than thinking so much, “what do I need to achieve?” I find myself thinking, “what’s enough?” It’s not just the way I’m spiritually or psychologically evolving. There’s actually something happening within my internal chemical, hormonal ecosystem that’s asking a different question and it’s very liberating.”
Hormones are all the rage (and sometimes they’re literally raging). Everybody’s talking about them these days, and it’s about time. But where do we start? What tests should we get?
