Struggling with hormone imbalances, restless sleep, or unexplained fatigue?

Women everywhere are being told their labs are “fine,” even when their bodies are clearly asking for help.

If you’ve ever felt that way, this episode brings clarity, hope, and practical tools for women’s health, nervous system regulation, self-connection, and metabolic health.

In this episode I’m joined by Dr. Nasha Winters, pioneer in integrative oncology and co-author of The Metabolic Approach to Cancer (our recent Book Nook pick).

With decades of experience, she shows how getting to the root cause can transform not only cancer prevention but also hormonal health, metabolism, and overall wellbeing.

What you’ll discover in this conversation:

• Why “more hormones” isn’t always the answer, and what else could be at play

• The key signals that throw women out of balance and how to start restoring them

• How mitochondria influence hormones and energy more than most of us realize

• The overlooked role of everyday toxins in food, products, and clothing

• Simple, realistic steps to bring your body back into balance without overwhelm
  

This is about listening to your body, reclaiming your health, and finding confidence in your own intuition.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, confused, or stuck in your health journey, this episode will help you take the next step forward.

Have you ever had that full-body ‘NO’ moment (the one where every part of you is screaming not to do something) but you overrode it to keep the peace, look “easy,” or avoid being “too much”?

So many of us as women have been conditioned to disconnect from our intuition, to downplay our needs, and to override the very guidance that was designed to protect and lead us.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Abby Miller: holistic business strategist, founder of the Work Womb Podcast, and self-described “yoga teacher turned productivity preacher.” Abby works with visionary women who are building big dreams and teaches them how to follow their intuition, regulate their nervous system, and set the kind of boundaries that create freedom instead of burnout.

Inside the episode, we explore:

• Why intuition is your most underused business and life strategy as well as how to strengthen it in small daily decisions

• What happens when you override your gut (Abby’s raw stories of trauma, healing, and self-forgiveness)

• The surprising link between intuition, pleasure, and permission — and how to reclaim all three

• How to shorten the gap between inspiration and action by letting go of permission-seeking

• The role of boundaries in creating safety for yourself, your business, your kids, and your relationships

• Why community is essential for breaking through ceilings and moving past imposter syndrome

This is a conversation about trusting yourself in motherhood, in business, and in the messy, beautiful daily moments of life. Abby’s honesty, humor, and wisdom are such a gift.
