S3:E3 Working With Your Body Instead of Fighting It
For years, I expected myself to have the same energy, patience, and productivity every single day — and when I didn’t, I thought something was wrong with me.In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve been learning recently about the female cycle, perimenopause, and the importance of working with our bodies instead of constantly fighting against them.We’ll talk about the difference between the first and second half of the cycle, why some weeks feel so much easier than others, how perimenopause can amplify everything, and why I wish I had understood this years ago while raising kids.I also share how constantly pushing through eventually led me to burnout — and how I’m learning to be more gentle with myself, nourish my body differently, rest without guilt, and pay attention to what my body is actually asking for.If you’ve been feeling exhausted, emotional, overwhelmed, or frustrated with yourself… this episode is a reminder that your body isn’t broken. It may just need something different.And as always — you’re doing better than you think.Get my free 7 day Reset Journal when you sign up for the newsletter here: https://edpursuits.kit.com/resetjournal1Follow me on instagram @edpursuitscom and facebook @edpursuitsCheck out the blog at edpursuits.com with a printable on essential oils coming soon.edpursuits.com/migrainereliefhttps://edpursuits.kit.com/products/natural-support-for-menstrual-migraines-e-boo

S2:E12- The Obstacle Is Part of the Path
Life is full of bumps, breakdowns, and unexpected setbacks — but what if obstacles aren’t detours, but part of the road itself? In this episode, I share stories from scripture and my own life that reminded me to expect resistance and trust God’s hand through it all. From Nehemiah rebuilding Jerusalem’s wall under attack, to Nephi refusing to give up on the brass plates, to my own recent migraine and even a broken-down SUV, I’ve been learning that God uses obstacles to protect us, teach us, and strengthen our faith. I’ll also share a simple journaling practice with prompts to help you reframe your own challenges and discover what God may be showing you through them.Books and Resources mentioned:Journaling link on instagram https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLO5vs1Ti_W/?igsh=eDRqaWVlcWUydXdpJoe Dispenza speech- https://youtu.be/LCuvMtC02qE?si=YUmYfI4X0RXYgzaWNehemiah 4, 1 Nephi 4:1-3Get my free 7 day Reset Journal when you sign up for the newsletter here: https://edpursuits.kit.com/resetjournal1Follow me on instagram @edpursuitscom and facebook @edpursuits
