The week before your period can feel like someone swapped your brain out overnight. I am sharing a very real solo catch-up on coming off Wellbutrin, “raw dogging life,” and the moment I realised my worst spirals were lining up with my luteal phase and possible perimenopause. If you have ever wondered whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or “just stress,” this conversation pulls hormones into the frame in a way most of us were never taught to consider.

We talk practical next steps for women’s health, including why I keep coming back to one nonnegotiable: get your blood work done. I also open up about white coat syndrome and why going to the doctor can feel hard, plus how telehealth platforms and lab options can make it easier to start gathering real information about what is happening in your body.

Then I go deep on my peptide journey, what I tried, what I stopped (sermorelin), and what genuinely surprised me: better sleep with a GHK-Cu and epitalon stack. The sleep piece matters because when we finally rest, everything else gets easier, from mood to resilience to how we show up as moms. We also shift into middle school parenting, the loss of the “toddler manual,” and how I am trying to guide my preteen through complex social stuff by focusing on values, goals, and open conversations.

One “yes” can reroute an entire life. Morgan Mullen went from stay-at-home mom mode to running a multi-seven-figure interior design business, and it started with selling succulent pumpkins at her dining room table. When a customer asked for help with a front yard, then a kitchen, she didn’t wait to feel qualified. She figured it out, documented it, and let social media and word of mouth do what they do best when the work is real.

We talk honestly about the parts people skip on Instagram: the money pressure of living on one income, the guilt that can show up when you want more than motherhood as your only identity, and the expensive lessons that come with fast growth. Then COVID hits, projects pause, and Morgan’s family is suddenly staring at major uncertainty. Her response is a masterclass in pivoting: she launches a home decor subscription box, sells out in 24 hours, and scales from a garage operation to full fulfillment.

We also go deep on health and burnout. Morgan shares the symptoms that led to her Hashimoto’s diagnosis, what inflammation looked like in daily life, and the practical habits that helped her feel like herself again, including protein-forward meals, prep, supplements, and strength training without perfectionism. We discuss breast implant illness as an inflammation question, her explant decision, and the recovery reality. And because she’s a designer, we end with how light, clutter, and organized spaces can change your mental state and help you show up better at home.
