Far from being a liability, women's cyclically shifting sex hormones are part of the brilliantly adaptive design of the female brain. The real issue arises when our hormonal rhythms are ignored, disrupted, or unsupported by the environments we live in. In this talk, you'll learn how estrogen and progesterone shape the way women think, feel, and connect with others across the menstrual cycle—and how modern forces like hormonal birth control, chronic stress, poor sleep, and social disconnection are throwing these systems out of balance. You'll also walk away with practical, science-backed tools to create hormone-supportive environments—physically, emotionally, and socially—so you can stop fighting your body and start working with it. As you will see, when you support your hormones, you don't just feel better—you win.
