By AshleyEpisode Description
What happens when a business-owning mom hits rock bottom — physically, emotionally, and hormonally — and finds her way back? That’s the heart of my new conversation with Jessica Lamb.
In this episode, I share my story of entering early perimenopause at 37, gaining 80 pounds, juggling motherhood and entrepreneurship, and eventually hitting a breaking point that sent me to the ER twice. What I learned was that my real struggle wasn’t willpower — it was nervous system overload, emotional coping, and living completely out of alignment.
We talk about:
- Panic attacks, burnout, and what my body was trying to tell me
- Using sugar and alcohol to regulate stress
- Early-onset perimenopause and why I didn’t recognize the signs
- Losing 80 pounds and keeping it off through identity and lifestyle shifts
- Why strength training and boundaries changed my life
- How healing my health reshaped my business and the way I lead
- What THOR retreats are — and how they help women reset their nervous systems
For Every Woman Who’s Running on Empty
If you’re a woman juggling career, family, and a changing midlife body — and you feel overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself — this episode will show you what’s possible.
Midlife isn’t the end. It’s the turning point.
