A recent conversation with one of my students completely stopped me in my tracks. She said: \u201cI feel like a walking bag of hormones.\u201d  And it opened up a much bigger conversation about modern hormone culture, cycle syncing, female identity, emotional resilience, and what young women are being taught about themselves.  Now to be clear: Hormones are real. PMS is real. Postpartum is real. Perimenopause is real.  But somewhere along the way, many women started absorbing the message that we are entirely at the mercy of our biology.  In this episode, I unpack: - The rise of cycle syncing culture - The good parts of hormonal awareness - Where I think the conversation goes too far - The mindset shift I desperately want young women to hear - And why I believe women are far more powerful than this narrative suggests  This is nuanced. It\u2019s compassionate. And it might challenge the way you think.  Stay until the end because the message I would give my own daughter is the most important part.  __________________ Have a question you want my take on?
