1039. Hormone Hacks Every Woman NEEDS: How to Prep for Perimenopause & Avoid the Hormonal Rollercoaster

In honor of our "Election Week Survival" series, we're re-airing our incredible episode with Elizabeth Gilbert.  Elizabeth Gilbert may be a globally respected writer and teacher, but she’s the first person to admit when she’s on the edge of a breakdown (this is what she calls “Brinking”), and we love her for that. Today, she chats with Maria about how to maintain a sense of peace during Covid, how to let love in when we need it most, and caretaking for our loved ones in their toughest times.
