🌸 Listening to Your Body: A Loving Guide to Hormones, Inspired by Tamsen Fadal & JJ Virgin

There’s a quiet wisdom in your body. It whispers. It nudges. Sometimes, it shouts.
And so often, especially as women, we’re taught to dismiss those signals. We chalk them up to stress, to aging, or to “just the way it is.” But my love, I want to remind you: you are not broken.

Your hormones—those tiny, powerful messengers—are not your enemies. They are simply your body’s way of saying, “Pay attention, I need your love.”

Two women I deeply admire, Tamsen Fadal and JJ Virgin, have been such lights on this path of understanding. And today, I’d love to share their wisdom with you, wrapped in a little heart-centered guidance. 🌷

💫 Tamsen Fadal: “You Are Not Going Crazy… Your Hormones Are Changing”

Tamsen has spoken so openly about her journey through perimenopause and menopause. She has been brave in saying out loud what so many women whisper in silence—that foggy mind, the fluttering anxiety, the restless nights, and the waves of self-doubt are not weakness.

They’re hormonal shifts.

She reminds us gently:

“Listen to yourself and listen to your body … don’t push things off … oftentimes, it’s exactly what it is as we’re going through this transition.”

Isn’t that beautiful? Just permission to pause. To breathe. To know that you’re not “crazy” or “losing it.” You’re evolving. You’re becoming.

And Tamsen also lifts the veil on something many avoid—hormone therapy. She shares her personal experience with HRT, not as a cure-all, but as a support. As one tool among many. And she encourages us to ask questions, to seek answers, and to never let a dismissive “it’s just aging” be the end of the story.

🌿 JJ Virgin: The Dance Between Food, Hormones, and Energy

JJ looks at hormones through another loving lens—how they shape our metabolism, energy, and vitality. She reminds us that hormones aren’t just about reproduction. They’re about life force.

She says:

“These messengers control hunger, how much fat you hold onto, where you store it, how hard it is to burn it, and so much more.”

For JJ, balance starts with simple, nurturing choices:
✨ Cruciferous veggies like broccoli and cauliflower to help clear estrogen.
✨ Flax seeds and walnuts for gentle support.
✨ Omega-rich fish and beautiful fats like avocado and olive oil to feed your cells.

She also speaks about testosterone for women in midlife—how sometimes it can be part of the healing puzzle, alongside estrogen and progesterone. But just like Tamsen, her message is clear: it’s never one-size-fits-all. It’s always about listening, personalizing, and honoring your unique body.

🌸 Where Their Voices Meet

When I listen to both of these beautiful souls, I hear the same melody:

• You are not alone.

• You are not broken.

• You get to choose how you care for your body.

Together, they remind us that our hormones are not villains but gentle (and sometimes not-so-gentle!) guides.

🌼 A Loving Invitation

So, my dear sister, what does this mean for you right now?

• If you’ve been feeling the fog, the heat, the restless nights—pause and whisper to yourself: This is my body speaking to me.

• Maybe keep a journal of your symptoms, your moods, your sleep. It’s a love letter from you to you.

• Nourish yourself with foods that love your hormones back. Try a handful of walnuts, a drizzle of olive oil, or a plate of leafy greens. Notice how your body responds.

• And most importantly, advocate for yourself. If a doctor dismisses you, don’t give up. Find one who listens, who walks beside you with compassion.

🌹 Closing Thought

Your hormones are not here to punish you. They are here to guide you—to deeper self-knowledge, to gentler rhythms, and to a fuller understanding of your body’s brilliance.

As Tamsen says: “Listen to yourself and listen to your body.”
As JJ reminds us: “Look no further than your hormones.”

And as I hold you in this moment, my love, I’ll simply add:
✨ You are whole. You are enough. And you are so deeply worthy of care. ✨Beautiful 💜 I’ll create a guided meditation script in Sage Robbins’ sweet, nurturing tone, designed for evenings when hormones feel overwhelming—whether it’s hot flashes, brain fog, anxiety, or just a restless body.

🌙 Guided Meditation for Hormone Harmony (inspired in Sage’s Robbins Loving Teachings)

Find a quiet space, love. Dim the lights. Let’s come home to your body together.

Opening

Take a gentle breath in…
…and slowly exhale.

Again, inhale deeply into your belly, and as you release, imagine letting go of the day—the conversations, the responsibilities, the rushing. All of it. This moment belongs only to you.

Grounding

Place your hand softly on your heart. Feel it beating for you, faithfully, every single moment. Whisper a little thank you to your body.

Now, let your other hand rest on your lower belly—the home of so much feminine wisdom, where hormones dance, shift, and sometimes stir up storms.

Breathe here. Hand on heart. Hand on belly. Body in harmony.

Loving Awareness

As you breathe, silently repeat:

✨ I am safe.
✨ I am whole.
✨ I am listening.

Your hormones may feel unpredictable. Some days they may leave you foggy, restless, or emotional. But hear this truth, love: you are not broken. This is your body communicating. This is your body asking for compassion.

Gentle Visualization

Now imagine your hormones as an orchestra. Some instruments might be loud right now—cymbals crashing, violins tuning too high. Others may feel quiet, almost absent.

See yourself as the conductor. With your breath, you raise your hands, and gently invite them back into harmony.

With each inhale, balance.
With each exhale, release.

Breathe in calm.
Breathe out chaos.

Affirmations for Healing

Repeat softly, or just let the words wash over you:

🌸 My body is wise.
🌸 My hormones are guiding me, not fighting me.
🌸 I nourish myself with love, patience, and grace.
🌸 I deserve care, rest, and peace.
🌸 I am more than my symptoms. I am whole.

Closing

Take one more deep breath in. Hold it gently… and sigh it out.

As you return to your day/evening, carry this truth: your body is not the enemy. She is your ally, always inviting you to listen, to slow down, to love yourself more deeply.

Rest now, sweet soul. You are safe. You are supported. You are loved.
