If you’ve been listening to the podcast regularly or following me on social media, you know this year has been quite a roller coaster for me health-wise. I’ve been way more consistent with my macros lately, and I’m easing into a build season this fall, but to be real with you…it’s been a STRUGGLE. From crazy perimenopause symptoms to blood pressure issues and feeling like my body just isn’t responding the way it used to, I’ve had to figure it out, out one step at a time. I’ve made necessary adjustments to my nutrition, supplements, and workouts. Ultimately, I really needed simplicity, intentionality, and to listen to my body in this not-so-straightforward season.  Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, health challenges, or another hard time in life, it’s okay to pivot. It’s okay to give yourself grace when you need it, but…it’s also okay to give yourself some tough love when you’re sliding into excuses (I’ve had to do this a LOT recently)! You’re not alone in this, and I promise - you CAN still build a body and life you love!
