On episode 184 of The Well Podcast, Kari sits down to chat with mom, pastor’s wife, and mental health therapist, Gianna Reese. Gianna specializes in work with teenagers and adults but provides services across the lifespan. Here is a teaser of the conversation.
Our world today is not without life’s stressors. While we may not be foraging to find our food or worried about a bear attack out in the wilderness, we still have scenarios that put us into fight, flight, or flee responses. Many people assume we are born with the skills needed to deal with life’s stressors, but we are not born with healthy emotional expression, boundary setting, or emotional intelligence tools.

How to be a mom in 2023…
“Make sure your children's academic, emotional, psychological, mental, spiritual, physical, nutritional, and social needs are met while being careful not to overstimulate, underestimate, improperly medicate, helicopter, or neglect them in a screen-free, processed food-free, plastic-free, body positive, socially conscious, egalitaritan but also authoritative, nurturing but fostering of independence, gently but not overly permissive, pesticide-free, two-story, multilingual home, preferably in a cul-de-sad with a backyard.

Hormones, you know, estrogen and testosterone. We put them in the tiny box we received the information from during our junior high sex education class years ago and left them there. But did you know there are several other hormones that are significantly impacting how you feel?
On a scale of 1-10 (1= no symptoms, 10 = out of control symptoms), how is your menstrual cycle? If you’re entering perimenopause or menopause, what are your symptoms? Are there areas of “hormone balance” that are difficult for you? (Hint, it’s very hard to truly balance every hormone on every given day, but we can grow closer to balance!)
Some symptoms of hormone issues: infertility, difficult menstrual cycles, poor memory and brain fog, hyper or hypo thyroid issues, adrenal fatigue, difficulty losing or gaining weight, trouble sleeping, and/or mood swings.
We get asked often, what are your top 10 essential oils you reach for most often? While some people have their favorites that switch up the list, the following are deemed doTERRA’s Top 10 Essential Oils. Below we will explain why!
Your body is always under a certain degree of stress, but in perimenopause and menopause your cortisol (stress hormone) sky rockets! High levels of cortisol leave us in a constant state of "fight or flight", which is the biggest villain keeping you from feeling your best. It’s time to learn more about how your body works and get started on the road to your revitalized self.
