Hold onto your green smoothies, folks! Today we're sitting down with Jamey Harbottle, who's sharing her wild ride from vegan warrior to reluctant carnivore (spoiler alert: her hormones had other plans). Plus, we're diving into the fun world of brain injuries, chronic insomnia, and why protein is actually your BFF.

• How a car accident turned Jamey's life (and diet) upside down
• The identity crisis of craving meat after 14 years of veganism
• Why sleep isn't just beauty rest (your brain is literally begging for it)
• The hormone plot twists nobody warns you about
• When your body starts making demands like a toddler in a candy store

"I haven't slept in 14 years" (not a flex, but definitely a mood)

"I couldn't get enough meat or fish" (former vegan problems)

"Your health trumps everything" (including your Instagram aesthetic)

00:00 - The accident that changed everything

03:03 - Identity crisis: When veganism stops serving you

05:57 - Brain injuries: More than just a headache

08:53 - The great protein awakening

12:06 - Hormones gone wild

15:08 - The sleep struggle is real [...continues with key timestamps...]

1. Sometimes your body stages an intervention
2. Sleep isn't optional (seriously, we cannot stress this enough)
3. Your identity isn't tied to your diet (mind-blowing, we know)
4. Hormones are the ultimate plot twisters
5. Health > Everything else

Ladies, if you're struggling with:

• Feeling like a traitor to your beliefs
• Chronic exhaustion that coffee can't fix
• Hormones that seem to have their own agenda
• The pressure to stick to one identity forever

You're not alone, and it's okay to change your mind (your hormones might make that decision for you anyway 🤷‍♀️).

• Actually try to sleep (your brain will thank you)
• Listen to your body (even when it's being dramatic)
• Give yourself permission to change
• Join our community of hormone-having humans

Remember: Your body is smarter than your Instagram feed, and sometimes healing looks like eating a burger after being vegan for 14 years. No judgment here!

Look, we've all been there - it's day 3 of your period, you haven't slept properly in what feels like decades, and your kid just told you they need cupcakes for school tomorrow. Fun times! Join Stephanie and Elisa as they spill the tea on hormones, sleep deprivation, and why women actually need more sleep than men (science says so, tell your partner!).

• Why day 3 of your period feels like you're climbing Mount Everest in flip-flops
• The myth of "banking sleep" (spoiler alert: you can't)
• How to parent when your hormones are making you feel like a hot mess
• Why your sleep needs are totally different from your partner's (and that's okay!)
• The art of not losing your sh*t when your kid won't go to bed

"Sleep is so important" (groundbreaking, we know, but hear us out) "Stop with the noise, right?" (looking at you, social media) "I want them to have good sleep" (says every mom while scrolling at 3 AM)

00:00 - Monthly cycle chaos (featuring our favorite hormone-induced meltdowns)

02:57 - Why sleep is literally life

05:58 - Parenting: When your kids don't sleep, you don't sleep

08:58 - The mythical work-life-sleep balance

11:58 - How sleep needs change (but still suck)

15:01 - Bedtime battles (and why bribing sometimes works)

18:10 - Hormones: The ultimate life plot twist

21:07 - Knowledge is power (or at least less anxiety)

1. Your period making you feel crazy? Totally normal (especially on day 3)
2. Sleep isn't optional (despite what your to-do list says)
3. Kids are sleep terrorists (but we love them anyway)
4. Your hormones are not the enemy (but sometimes they feel like it)
5. Being informed = being empowered (and less likely to panic-Google at 2 AM)

Ladies, if you're feeling overwhelmed, remember: You're not losing it, you're just hormonal (and probably sleep-deprived). It's okay to need more rest, set boundaries, and sometimes hide in the bathroom with chocolate.

• Actually try to get some sleep (revolutionary, we know)
• Be kind to yourself (especially during that time of the month)
• Join our hormone-having community and share your stories

Remember: We're all in this together, just at different levels of tired! 😴
