This one is for the Christian girl who loves Jesus… and then ovulation hits and you’re like… okay Lord, ummmm😅

In today’s episode, we’re getting real about purity, desire, and what it actually looks like to follow God when your hormones are doing the most. We’re breaking down what’s happening in your body during ovulation, why your desire spikes, and how to walk in purity without spiraling into shame every single month.

This is about grace, self-control, and actually understanding what God designed instead of fighting against it.

@holyandhormonal :)

Let's try to understand progesterone in today's episode! She's supposed to be calming, but what happens if I feel the opposite in my luteal phase??? HELP.

@holyandhormonal

I love you. Jesus loves you. <3

@holyandhormonal

Comfort can replace reverence for God. In this episode, we’re talking about what happens when we lose our awe of God — and how to return to a posture of wonder, humility, and holy fear without losing intimacy.

@holyandhormonal

The waiting season can mess with your head a little — especially when it feels like everyone else is getting the things you’ve been praying for.
This episode is just an honest conversation about jealousy, comparison, and learning how to stay grounded when life feels slow or uncertain.
If you’ve been in that “why not me yet?” space… this one’s for you.

@holyandhormonal

In this episode we're reading through the book of Jonah—a book that’s way more relatable than we often realize. Jonah isn’t just about a man and a whale; it’s about running from what God asks, choosing the “easier” path, and learning what obedience looks like when it feels uncomfortable. We’ll talk about why God allows detours, how resistance can lead to deeper growth, and what happens when we finally stop running and say yes.

Book Club is happening! Head over to @holyandhormonal for more details.

Your menstrual cycle is so much more than “just your period”—it’s a monthly rhythm your body moves through with purpose. In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly how the cycle works in a simple, easy-to-understand way: what’s happening in the follicular phase, why ovulation matters, how progesterone impacts your mood and PMS, and what your body is trying to tell you through symptoms like cramps, bloating, acne, and fatigue. If you’ve ever felt confused by your hormones or frustrated that nobody taught you this, consider this your big-sis guide to finally understanding your body and learning how to support it with confidence. 

@holyandhormonal

In this episode, we’re talking about something most of us don’t even realize we’re doing—making an idol out of our feelings. When emotions become the loudest voice in our lives, they start calling the shots: what we believe, how we respond, and even how we see God. We’ll unpack the difference between honoring your emotions and being led by them, why feelings are real but not always true, and how to stay anchored in God’s truth when your inner world feels chaotic. If you’ve ever felt ruled by anxiety, overwhelmed by mood swings, or confused by your own heart, this one is for you.

@holyandhormonal

I finally deleted TikTok — and in today’s episode, I’m telling you exactly why. From doom-scrolling to comparison spirals, I realized it was costing me more than it was giving me. And now I’m sharing the surprising things I’ve gained since hitting “delete.”

This past week the Lord changed my life through prayer and fasting. And this is what He did.

@holyandhormonal

What if we were women that loved our bodies rather than ones that hate what they see in the mirror? What if we learned to surrender to God's design and accept who we are, where we are? I think there would be more freedom for God's daughters..

We're switching things up this week and going straight to the Bible to hear the redemptive story of Hannah. Hannah was married to a man who had another wife, Peninnah, who taunted her for not having children. But Hannah sought the Lord and cried out, "If you give me a son, I will give him back to you." And God answered that prayer. Let's jump into her story.
