If you’re in perimenopause and feel anxious, overstimulated, reactive, or like your body can’t fully relax, this episode will connect a lot of dots.

In this episode, we’re talking about the nervous system side of perimenopause — something most women are never taught. Hormone shifts, poor sleep, under-eating protein, dehydration, and chronic stress can push your body into fight-or-flight, even when nothing is “wrong” in your life.

Inside this episode:

• Why perimenopause can feel like anxiety, overwhelm, or irritability

• How hormone changes impact your nervous system and stress response

• Common signs your body is stuck in survival mode

• Why sleep disruption, brain fog, and low motivation are connected

• Simple ways to calm your nervous system without a full life overhaul

• Foundational support that matters most during perimenopause

You’ll learn the real signs of perimenopause, why your labs might look “normal,” and simple ways to start supporting your hormones so you can feel like yourself again.

What we cover: • Early symptoms women miss • Hormone shifts that affect mood, sleep, weight, and energy • Why 2 AM wake-ups are so common • What brain fog really means • How to support your body naturally in this stage

Most women don’t even realize they’re in perimenopause. Not because they’re clueless, but because the symptoms look like everyday life. Brain fog. Sleepless nights. Anxiety. Joint pain. Weight shifting to your midsection even while doing everything “right.”

Something shifts in me every fall — it’s like my soul wakes up. I’m not talking about pumpkin spice or Halloween. I’m talking about the season that changed everything for me. When I was broke, a single mom, and determined to give my son a Christmas we’d both remember… I made one decision that completely rerouted my life.

In this episode, I’m sharing the story of how “separation season” became my favorite time of year — the time I plant seeds, show up when others slow down, and watch the harvest unfold months later. Whether you’re building a business, working on your health, or rebuilding your faith, this is your reminder that what you sow now determines the harvest later.

Tune in for a real, faith-filled talk about discipline, momentum, and trusting God in the planting season.

In this episode, Mindy gets real about the moment everything shifted...when she realized that no one was coming to save her. As a mom, a business owner, and someone walking through the ups and downs of raising kids with special needs, she learned that waiting for someone else to fix things only keeps you stuck.

You’ll hear how taking radical ownership can change your mindset, your health, and even your family’s future. Mindy shares practical ways to stop playing small, take control of your daily habits, and walk in the purpose God called you to... even when life feels heavy.

Whether you’re trying to improve your wellness, build a business, or create peace in your home, this episode is a wake-up call to stop waiting… and start moving.

Warning: this one’s for the girlies. So sorry, dudes — you might want to sit this one out.

In this episode, I’m spilling ALL the TMI tea about my cycle, hormones, and the journey I’ve been on over the last year to figure out what the heck was going on with my body. Because trust me — it’s been a ride.

Here’s the truth: For over a year, I was bloated for 10+ days a month (literally looked 5 months pregnant), moody, exhausted, and dealing with heavy, painful, extended cycles that were nothing like what I was used to. I was doing all the things — working with a natural doctor, taking 7–10 supplements daily, tracking blood work, staying consistent… and still? No results. Zero. Month after month.

Everyone kept telling me it was just part of getting older or perimenopause, but I wasn’t willing to just accept that.

Then in October, I had a major decision to make — and after lots of prayer and research, I found a company called Hugh & Grace. I started their Routine Supplement Bundle for general health benefits — electrolytes, probiotics, collagen, gentle detox — and I had no idea what was about to happen.

Within 30 days, my cycle was back to normal. No mood swings. No PMS. No bloat. No red flags. I was literally in shock. And the best part? It wasn’t just a one-time fluke. Month after month after month… my body stayed in balance.

I feel like me again. Clear mind. Energy back. Better digestion. No more weight loss resistance. And now? I’m shouting it from the rooftops because I know so many women need to hear this.

If you’ve been struggling with your cycle, your mood, your energy, your hormones — this episode is for you.

Let’s stop normalizing feeling like garbage and start talking about what actually helps.

Mentioned in this episode: → The Routine Supplement Bundle (Hydrate Detox, Morning Supplement, and Collagen Peptides) → Why third-party testing and non-toxic ingredients matter → How I knew my body was finally back in balance → Where to grab the supplements if you’re ready to feel like YOU again

Ready for story time :)

In today’s episode, I’m giving you a little behind-the-scenes life update—what I’ve been up to, what I’ve been testing, and what I’ve finally decided.

Over the past few months, I’ve been trying out several different fitness platforms—testing them, comparing them, even being offered affiliate deals by a few. But guess what? The platform I ultimately chose is the one that didn’t offer me a deal… because it was the one that truly aligned with ME.

I also talk about Elevate, the 6-week wellness reset I created that’s now open for enrollment. It pairs perfectly with the fitness platform I chose, and it’s changing lives in the best way.

Then I dive into something that’s been on my heart lately: how our brains are wired to prove our thoughts right. It’s how God designed us—and it’s powerful. Whether your thoughts are positive or negative, your brain will go find evidence to make them true. (Yep… even the toxic ones.)

I share a few real-life stories and explain the science behind it—specifically your Reticular Activating System (RAS)—and how you can train your brain to work for you, not against you.

Whether you’re on a fitness journey, a faith journey, or just trying to rewire your mindset, this episode is for you.
