This is a Fan Fav episode. From the very start of this conversation, I was fired up! I brought Dr. Aviva Romm on Women of Impact—an M.D., midwife, herbalist, and author of Hormone Intelligence—to unravel the web of confusion and shame that keeps so many women feeling powerless about their hormones, periods, and health. Aviva exposes the damaging myths we’re taught, reveals how our cycles impact everything from our confidence to our career momentum, and—let me tell you—it’s not about “just suffering” through being a woman.
Get ready to find out the best times in your cycle for asking for a raise, why you may want to hide your credit card before your period, and how you can start tracking your unique “normal” so you feel confident, not crazy. Aviva and I dive deep, get super tactical, and, real talk, help you reclaim your power—because knowledge is, truly, power.
