10. Four Steps to Balance Your Hormones for Better Sleep and More Energy

Hey Mama,

Have you ever had one of those nights where you toss and turn, only to wake up more exhausted than when you went to bed? And then, just as you’re trying to power through your day, you hit that 2 p.m. wall—the one that has you reaching for coffee, an energy drink, or anything to give you a quick boost? I’ve been there too, and I know how frustrating it can be when you’re running on fumes and feel like you have nothing left for your family.

I remember when I was juggling everything—our blended family’s schedule, work, trying to get back into shape—and I was a HOT MESS. No matter what I tried, I was either wired but tired, struggling to fall asleep, or dealing with mood swings that seemed to come out of nowhere. And let’s be honest: when we’re running on empty, we’re not giving our best to anyone, especially our families.

But what if I told you that balancing your hormones could be the key to getting better sleep, having more energy, and feeling more like you again?

Whether you’ve just finished your morning walk, survived the school drop-off line, or finally carved out five minutes of peace, get ready to dive into how your hormones affect your sleep and energy.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through four steps you can take to naturally balance your hormones and finally get back to feeling like yourself again.

Let’s get it!

XO,
Susan

09. How to Break Free from Diet Drama: Find Peace with Food and Your Body

Hey Mama,

Do you spend your day meticulously tracking what you eat, trying to stick to that diet plan, even if it leaves you feeling hungry, tired, and frustrated? Do you avoid foods you love, labeling them as "forbidden," and even skip social events just to keep your food choices in check? Maybe you exercise, not because it brings you joy, but because you feel like you have to—as if it’s the only way to control your body. And when you see someone else with the "perfect" body, that pit of guilt, sadness, or even anger forms in your stomach.

I know this story well because I’ve lived it. I was trapped in that same Dieter’s Mindset, convinced that if I just tried harder, ate less, and worked out more, I’d finally feel good about myself. But instead, all I found was more stress, more guilt, and a life that felt smaller and smaller. The more I tried to control my body, the less joy I found in my everyday life.

But here’s the good news—there’s another way. In today’s episode, we’re going to unpack these struggles and explore how you can break free from the Dieter’s Mindset. We’ll talk about six practical steps you can take to find freedom from food rules, embrace your body with kindness, and live in a way that honors the beautiful, unique creation that you are. And yes, we’re going to bring in some biblical truths to remind you that you are so much more than a number on a scale.

So, if you’re ready to ditch the diet drama and step into a healthier, happier way of living, stay with me. Let’s dive in!

XO,
Susan
