In this episode, we dive into the chaos of real-life motherhood and the start of a larger conversation about hormones. We kick things off with Hannah’s chaotic virtual therapy session—complete with a crying baby, a messy kitchen, and a lot of moving around. Brooke shares her scholarly perspective as a PhD in molecular biology, offering insight into the science of hormones, while we both reflect on the ups and downs of therapy experiences (the good, the bad, and the awkward).

We also explore how gardening ties into hormone balance and discuss how modern-day challenges like microplastics and home fragrances impact hormonal health. Whether you're juggling life as a mom or just curious about how hormones affect everything from mood to health, this episode is your relatable and informative starting point.
