Your hormones and your mood are in constant conversation. It’s not just stress. It’s chemistry.

If you're in your 40s or 50s and lately you've felt snappy, anxious, weepy, or just not quite like yourself…

You might be thinking, "I'm just stressed."
But let's clear this up:
It's not just stress.
It's not a lack of discipline.

It's chemistry—and it's happening inside your body every single day.

When estrogen and progesterone begin to fluctuate during perimenopause, it's like your internal communication system starts speaking in a different language.

Here's what that looks like:
  • When progesterone drops (often first), you lose your body's natural calming agent.

  • When estrogen dips, your brain loses support for serotonin and dopamine—the feel-good, stabilizing neurotransmitters that help you feel joy, connection, and calm.

So what happens?
  • 🔥 You cry out of "nowhere"

  • 🔥 You snap at someone you love (and immediately feel awful)

  • 🔥 You start asking, "What's wrong with me?"

  • 🔥 You feel shame or guilt just for having emotions

Let us reassure you: this is not a personality flaw.
This is your chemistry talking.


Why Mood + Hormone Health Must Be Addressed Together

Most solutions only focus on one piece of the puzzle:
🧬 Either hormone replacement/supplements
💬 Or mindset/emotional coaching


But here's the truth no one's talking about:
➡️ If your neurotransmitters are depleted, emotional regulation becomes nearly impossible.
➡️ If your hormones are swinging, your nervous system stays in fight-or-flight mode.
➡️ If your emotions are dismissed, your body stores that tension in ways that impact sleep, weight, digestion, and relationships.


You need a whole-body approach—one that supports your:
  • Hormones

  • Brain chemistry

  • Nervous system

  • Emotional resilience


Why I Partnered With Renee Hughes

After treating hundreds of women in perimenopause, I've seen a clear pattern:
Even when we supported hormones, the emotional toll of midlife stress can linger and hinder progress.


Some of my patients struggled with:
  • Overwhelm they couldn't name

  • Emotional reactivity they felt ashamed of

  • A growing sense of disconnection from their own body

That's why I've partnered with Renee Hughes, the creator of the Mood Makeover Method™.
She brings an incredible depth of experience in emotional resilience, nervous system regulation, and aromatherapy-based mood support—the very tools that help women feel safe in their bodies again.

Together, we're offering women a new way forward for the women in my Hormone Harmony Jumpstart Programone that sees and supports all levels of you.

Stay tuned for more details...for now, mark your calendar for November 5th!
