In this episode, Mishi sits down with her Restore Your Fertility client Maren to share a powerful story of resilience and transformation. After years of pushing her body, the loss of a fallopian tube, and living in a deep deficit, Maren was left struggling with debilitating eczema and no period. Desperate to feel better and be present with her family, she faced the fears of weight gain and leaned into the mindset shifts recovery required.

In this episode, Ashley is joined by her client Bethany, who shares how losing her period became the wake-up call that led her back to true health and spiritual alignment. She opens up about surrendering to recovery by eating more, resting, and trusting the unknown...even when it felt uncomfortable.

If you’ve ever feared letting go of control, her story will remind you that healing can be the catalyst for the life you’ve been craving.Connect w/Bethany here:https://bdfennessey1234.wordpress.com/Jool Wellness - Use HASOCIETY for 12% offhttps://joolwellness.comJoin The HA Societyhttp://thehasociety.com/joinWork 1:1 with us to get your period backhttp://thehasociety.com/coachingVisit us on YouTubehttps://youtube.com/c/danisheriffFollow us on IGhttp://instagram.com/thehasocietyhttp://instagram.com/danisheriffhttps://instagram.com/ashley_marie_smith_https://www.instagram.com/itsmishigarcia/https://www.instagram.com/abbylowekey/The Content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

In this episode, Julia Jarriel shares her recovery journey, one marked by slow, steady progress that challenged her patience, but ultimately taught her that she isn't in control. As someone who was highly active and fueled well above 2,500 calories, Julia’s story reminds us that losing a period doesn't always look like "under-eating" and recovering it isn’t always fast, even when you're "doing everything right."If you’re feeling stuck or wondering why your recovery feels slower than others’, this conversation will reassure you that slow doesn’t mean broken and that sometimes, the long road is exactly what your body (and mind) needs.Jool Wellness - Use HASOCIETY for 12% offhttps://joolwellness.comJoin The HA Societyhttp://thehasociety.com/joinWork 1:1 with us to get your period backhttp://thehasociety.com/coachingVisit us on YouTubehttps://youtube.com/c/danisheriffFollow us on IGhttp://instagram.com/thehasocietyhttp://instagram.com/danisheriffhttps://instagram.com/ashley_marie_smith_https://www.instagram.com/itsmishigarcia/The Content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
