In this episode, Laura sits down with holistic nutritionist, Alex Riley, to explore a more sustainable approach to women’s health through movement, nutrition, regeneration, and self-awareness. They talk about building small habits that actually fit into busy lives, navigating hormonal and postpartum changes, and letting go of the perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking that can make health feel overwhelming.
Alex also shares from her own experience with body image, postpartum recovery, breastfeeding, and the identity shifts that come with motherhood. Together, they discuss how to better understand your body, advocate for your hormonal health, and approach your well-being with more patience, self-compassion, and trust.
