Are you getting in your own way of succeeding in your PCOS health?That’s the case for many of us, and it certainly was for me. Before I was even diagnosed with PCOS, the doctors thought I was “pre-menopausal”…at 25! They convinced me (and I convinced myself) that it was “impossible” to do anything about PCOS. ...…
Not long ago, I hit an emotional rough patch after making some progress in my life. Nothing bad had happened, yet I had low energy and felt discouraged. I felt a heaviness in my chest and a “block” in my throat. Then one day, I woke up and snapped out of my dark place, and ...…
We all know about the side effects of PCOS which stem from hormonal imbalance, where androgen levels are significantly increased while other hormonal levels (such as progesterone) decrease.

Last week, I taught a teleclass that touched on 8 modules (or reasons) on how we keep ourselves from having passion, purpose and abundance in our lives. One of the biggest reasons, in my opinion, is that we don’t BELIEVE something is possible for us. Even if we want it badly enough, “something” will always ...…
Does PCOS create a lot of pain in your life? Not just physical pain, but emotional ups and downs – ones of disappointment and frustration – that very few people in your life understand? Do you wish you knew how to move away from PCOS and start creating your ultimate life? A life that you’re ...…
If you have a desire for anything in your life, it’s easy to talk about it and tell others how badly you want something. It’s like Mike Schwenk, my father, used to say, “Less talk, more action.” My father always knew that what separates successful people from those who are unsuccessful is taking action. What does ...…
