Annie: "Hello, my name is Annie de Villiers, and I am 42-years young and was diagnosed with ADHD in 2018, when I was 35. I am a qualified foundation phase teacher but currently only homeschool my own two children. This year, 2025, I am blessed to be married for 17 years. We live in Pretoria, South Africa and I definitely am one of those people who value the sun in my life. Over the years I have had to learn to not just cope with my ADHD, but live a life where I bloom. Our ADHD brains are so powerful and unique but untrained and neglected. We often struggle to a point it starts to drain us. Coping with a monthly menstrual cycle with all the changes and challenges it brings takes intentionality. Developing some healthy habits in my every day life has helped to lift the heaviness of the effects of my menstrual cycle."

Hey friend! Does it feel like all you hear about these days are all the bad, poisonous things in our food, make-up and laundry detergent? Are you feeling overwhelmed, burdened, or like it's just another thing you have to focus on?

I understand and get it. When you're bombarded with information like this all the time, it can weigh on your whole being.

In this episode, I share a very candid and real approach on how we can start viewing and understanding these things in our lives, particularly as Christians.

The outdoors and nature has a tremendous impact on our health and well-being. It can lower cortisol, increase Vitamin D, boost serotonin and dopamine. We all know the health benefits of getting outside. Yet, it can be hard to do and prioritize, especially when you have littles.

In this episode, I'm sharing 4 lessons I've learned over the last couple years with prioritizing getting outside. I am in no way pumping myself up as the outdoor mom guru, because it's something I'm still being pushed in and learning about. But I know these 4 tips can be great places to start when you're wanting to get your kids out more.

Enjoy the episode!

Do you struggle do get enough sleep at night? Do you feel sluggish and drained throughout the day, chugging back all the coffee to make it through, only to feel wired and "productive" at night? Does it stem from a need to keep going, producing or pushing through to prove something, or prove yourself to God?

All good questions to be asking. This week's episode is chalked full of passages and verses that not only encourage rest and retreat, but that also point us to the humble and gentle character of God.

Want to learn more about the biology and physiology behind sleep, cortisol levels and adrenal fatigue? I'd encourage you to hop into the Facebook Group to watch the video for week 6 of the 8-week hormone reset challenge for Christian women.

Hey friend! Are you looking for ways to better incorporate movement into your life that pairs nicely with your menstrual cycle? Or are you maybe on either extremes, of not moving at all and knowing you need to start, or over-moving to the point where your body is depleted, exhausted and doing the opposite of what you want it to do?

The reality is, our bodies as women, need different movement and exercise routines than men, and when we become curious and willing to listen and learn from our bodies, we move more and more towards a place of wellness. If you're curious about movement, your menstrual cycle and hormones, have a listen to this week's episode!
