When your symptoms don’t make sense, this is where clarity begins
Clinical reflections for women who feel unheard by “normal” results.
This journal is where I share clinical insights from my work with women experiencing fatigue, hormonal disruption, gut symptoms, burnout, and periods of transition such as postpartum and perimenopause.

The Power of Your Mind: How Your Inner Dialogue Affects Your Health & Wellness
How Your Inner Dialogue Shapes Your Health
Your thoughts and beliefs are incredibly powerful. They affect how you show up in your world, how you interact with others, and how you respond to the challenges life throws your way. When you have a positive belief system, you are better equipped to navigate life’s ups and downs. You can stay focused on your long-term goals, whether that’s balancing your hormones, managing PMS, or supporting your postnatal recovery.
But what happens when your beliefs are negative? When you carry beliefs like, “I’ll never lose weight” or “I’m not good enough,” these thoughts become self-fulfilling prophecies. You may find yourself engaging in self-destructive behaviors—like overeating, emotional eating, or using alcohol or other substances to cope—that derail your progress.
