Getting professional help, such as testing for thyroid function and working with a nutritionist, can be beneficial for women struggling with menopause symptoms and weight gain.
Building a supportive community and seeking accountability can also be helpful in navigating menopause and making positive changes to health and lifestyle.

70 | Tips on Being Present With Your Family with Erica Garcia
Season 2 · Episode 26
Sunday, July 14, 2024 • Duration 33:20
A big part of our lives are about relationships. As moms, having healthy relationships with our kids plays a big part in our overall health. I have found, in my 17 years as a mom so far, that being present with my kids really helps foster a healthy dynamic in our relationship. When you are present with someone, it speaks to how much you value them.
When your relationships are healthy and positive, especially inside the home - it reduces your stress and increases your joy. Both of which are great for your wellbeing.
Erica, creative genius on family systems and creating moments of presence, joins me on this episode to share about:
Planning: Intentionally schedule time to be present with your family
Solid routines: Automate parts of your day to free up mental energy for being present
No-tech time: Set aside dedicated periods without technology to focus on your family
Clearing out clutter and distractions: Create a calm and clutter-free environment to enhance presence.
Letting go of perfection: Release the pressure to be perfect and focus on what truly matters
