Episode Description from the Publisher

Hi Listeners!  If you feel overstimulated, anxious, or constantly on edge, this episode is for you. I’m sharing a very personal story about the moment I realized I didn’t want to be remembered as the irritable mom — and how that realization led me to uncover three major root causes: gut dysbiosis, chronic stress, and blood sugar instability. We’ll talk about how low GABA production, serotonin loss, leaky gut, progesterone deficiency, and cortisol dominance all contribute to mood swings, PMS, and overstimulation — and why this isn’t just a “personality problem.” It’s physiology. You’ll walk away with five actionable strategies to calm your brain and body: improving gut health, increasing progesterone naturally, stabilizing blood sugar with high-protein breakfasts, un-busying your schedule, and replacing worry with gratitude and prayer. If you’re ready to feel more patient, peaceful, and present with your family — this episode will give you both the science and the spiritual reset to get there.
