Let’s get real for a minute: Are you still feeling hangry, cranky, and wiped out all too often, even while doing your best to eat clean and healthy? I’ve been right where you are - frustrated and exhausted - until I realized I was missing balance with one super important thing: protein.And yes, I know you’ve heard a million times that protein matters. But what if you’re still not getting it right, even when you think you are? I was making the same mistake for years. That’s why I made this episode: to share exactly where I went wrong and what finally worked (spoiler: it’s not just eating more chicken breast).Here’s what I’ll break down for you:02:23 The real reason you need way more protein than you think (and nope, it will not make you bulky)05:44 The easy protein goal that can balance your blood sugar and totally crush those cravings13:27 The one simple, often-overlooked protein source that can seriously help your digestion (hint: it’s probably already in your kitchen)No complicated science, just a 20-minute, girlfriend-to-girlfriend chat that could honestly change how you feel all day long.

This one's for the girlies! Well all of these episodes are for the girlies actually but this feels like a friend chat more than ever because if we were sitting down drinking an adrenal cocktail or a matcha together, we'd probably end up talking about our hair, amoung 1800 other topics. I've found a few new hair products I'm into lately + the skincare I've been using forever and still am VERY into. 15% off your first Clearstem order with this link!

Have you ever felt a surge of anger or anxiety so suddenly it almost scared you? Like that moment when a simple request from your child suddenly sends a wave of frustration through you. We’ve all been in that place, and the guilt that follows is just as heavy.I had a deeply comforting conversation with Misty McFadden about this exact struggle. As a mom of four, she spoke openly about her own journey through seasons of anxiety and feeling completely overwhelmed by her emotions. She opened up about how, even with strong faith, there were times when everything felt overwhelming, and it was hard to keep going.We walked through some of the most helpful perspectives she’s learned:09:50 Why "I don't know why I'm so angry!" is usually a lie we tell ourselves13:29 Her super simple "brain dump" trick that stops the mental spin cycle in two minutes19:20 How our emotions and our faith are totally meant to work together, and what it really means to guard your heartThis is one of those chats that makes you feel normal and gives you a real, tangible next step. No magic pills, just compassion and practical ideas. If you're feeling a little frayed around the edges lately, press play now. I think you'll really love this one. CONNECT WITH MISTYNEW Private Podcast - 3 Steps to Making Hormones WellBook a FREE Hormone Strategy Call with meNEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?
