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.
I get DMs constantly from women running their own businesses who look completely put together on stage and are falling apart the second they get off it. Amber is one of them. Dental hygienist, business owner, on a plane more than she's home.
She had a suit. Fit perfectly in January. By October it wouldn't button. Same workouts, same "eating well," same everything. So she went to her doctor and said it felt like perimenopause. Got told she was too young. She's 38.
This one gets into what actually happens when your hormones are dysregulated and you're still doing "all the right things," why the scale was never the real signal, and what it took to fix it while she was still living out of a suitcase.
