In this episode, we sit down with women’s health and hormone coach Sam “The Hormone Goddess” to explore the deeper emotional, nervous system, and societal roots behind so many women’s health struggles. We dive into the connection between trauma, stress, suppressed anger, feminine energy, and hormone health, and why so many women feel disconnected from their bodies in modern culture. From painful periods and burnout to nervous system dysregulation and people-pleasing, this conversation unpacks the hidden layers influencing women’s health and healing. We also discuss female rage, womb work, joy, pleasure, circadian rhythm, somatic healing, and what it actually means to reconnect with yourself as a woman. If you’ve ever struggled with PMS, anxiety, exhaustion, hormone imbalances, fertility challenges, or feeling disconnected from your body, this episode is for you. 00:00 Intro + Trailer 01:36 Meet Samantha Hadadi 01:56 Sam’s Hormone Healing Journey 04:46 Trauma, Stress & Hormone Imbalances 05:51 Why Women Aren’t Taught About Their Bodies 07:36 Shame Around Periods & Womanhood 08:46 Why Society Fears Women’s Power 13:41 Female Anger & Hormonal Health 17:36 Suppressed Anger, Liver Health & Hormones 20:56 Somatic Practices for Releasing Anger 23:56 Trauma Release & Emotional Processing 25:51 The Healing Power of Movement & Community 26:46 Nervous System & Hormone Connection 29:56 Trauma, Stress & Women’s Health 32:16 Root Causes of Hormonal Imbalances 36:06 What Is Womb Work? 40:16 The Missing Piece in Hormone Healing 40:46 Joy, Pleasure & Feminine Energy 42:36 Productivity Culture & Women’s Health 47:36 Healing Through Dance & Movement 50:06 Hormones as Messengers 51:36 Reconnecting…","meta_description":"What if hormone imbalances aren’t just physical?
