Iâm sharing the journey I went through during 2024 in this episode, focusing on finding effective stress management tools and enhancing hormonal health. Traditional stress relief methods didn't work for me, so I explored alternatives like the Align Mat, which has been a game changer in calming my nervous system. I also discuss launching my line of hormone creams, overcoming the challenges that the launch brought on, and the positive reception from women dealing with perimenopause and menopause.

How PEMF mats, saunas, and nature walks can soothe the nervous system. Challenges that I experienced during the launch of my hormone creams.
