## Resource

I work with so many female founders who are scaling businesses and look like they have it all figured out. Meanwhile behind the scenes they're running on fumes, hiding puffiness before they walk on stage, and getting told by their doctor they're "too young" for what's actually happening to their hormones. This episode is Amber's story. Dental hygienist, public speaker, business owner, and someone who did everything "right" and still ended up unable to zip a suit that fit her nine months earlier. We get into the doctor visit that gaslit her, the moment that made her finally reach out, and what actually changed once she stopped guessing and started working the protocol.
