Menopause Got You Hot and Bothered? Here’s a few natural ways to help you chill out.

Ah, menopause. The time in a woman’s life where her hormones decide to take a vacation, leaving her with a one-way ticket to hot flash city, mood swing avenue, and stress boulevard. But don’t worry, peeps, there are natural ways to combat these pesky symptoms and make menopause a little more bearable.

Let’s start with stress. Because who needs any more stress in their life, Right? First things first, take a deep breath. And then take another one. And another one. See? Deep breathing can help calm your nerves and reduce those feelings of stress. You can also try some yoga, meditation, or my personal favorite, a long walk in nature. Whatever floats your boat and takes your mind off the stressors in your life.

Next up, anxiety. The feeling of being on edge all the time is not fun, but we’ve got your back. Chamomile tea is like a warm hug for your nerves. It has calming properties that can help reduce anxiety. You can also try some aromatherapy with lavender oil or practicing mindfulness. It’s all about finding what works for you and sticking with it.

And finally, the hormonal changes. Hot flashes, mood swings, and irritability, oh my! But fear not, my friends, there are natural ways to combat these symptoms. For example, did you know that eating more fruits, veggies, and whole grains can help reduce the frequency and severity of hot flashes? It’s true! You can also try some supplements like black cohosh or evening primrose oil, check with your doc first, though if you’re on any meds, just to make sure they don’t interact.

In conclusion, menopause may feel like a rollercoaster ride you didn’t sign up for, but you don’t have to ride it alone. Incorporating natural remedies into your routine can help combat stress, anxiety, and hormonal changes. So take a deep breath, sip on some herbal tea, and remember that this too shall pass (hopefully with minimal sweating and mood swings).

Personally, after almost 10 years of trying anything natural I could get my hands on, I found The Mental Wellness Company. These products have totally changed my life, giving me my happiness back and easing my anxiety. I recommend the Fundamentals Pack or the Happy Juice Pack to start with. But I would love to chat about what your specific needs are and help you come up with a plan tailored to your needs.

Lets Talk Water

Alright, let’s get into it. We’re talking about the importance of staying hydrated, folks. Yes, that means you should drink more water, and No, coffee and Diet Coke don’t count.

First of all, let’s start with the basics. Your body is mostly made up of water. So it makes sense that you need to keep replenishing that H2O in order to function properly. It’s like trying to drive a car with a nearly empty gas tank. You’re just not going to get very far.

But apparently, some people still struggle with this concept. Maybe they think water is too boring, or they just forget to drink it. Either way, it’s time to step up and take responsibility for your hydration levels. I’ll let you in a little secret . . . once you start adding water to your regular daily routine, your body will start craving it instead of all those sugary drinks you’re maybe used to.

Drinking enough water can help with things like digestion, circulation, and keeping your skin looking all plump and perky like a Kardashian. And if you’re into fitness, staying hydrated can actually improve your performance and help you recover from workouts faster. So why wouldn’t you want to drink more water?

Of course, I know some of you might be thinking, “But I hate the taste of water!” Guess what, buttercup? Water doesn’t have a taste. It’s literally just water. So maybe try adding some flavor with things like lemon or cucumber slices. Or you could just embrace the neutral taste and chug it like a champ.

Whatever your hydration strategy is, just make sure you’re getting enough water throughout the day. Your body (and your skin and your workouts) will thank you. And if you’re one of those people who still thinks drinking water is overrated, well, good luck with that. Meanwhile, I’ll be over here crushing my water bottle like a boss.

Hi there!

I’m Tracy Kouba, a vibrant soul with a passion for helping others find their happy place and live life with more joy. As a Holistic Wellness Coach, Reiki Master/Teacher, Artist, Maker, Printer, Rockhound, and Nature Dweller, I’ve got a colorful palette of skills and interests that I love to share with the world.

My journey has been a beautiful tapestry of experiences, both challenging and wonderful, that have led me to this amazing place where I can make a difference in people’s lives. I’ve navigated through shyness, anxiety, and self-doubt, and the ups and downs of life, but I’ve always tried to find the silver lining and focus on the positive. Along the way, I’ve discovered the incredible power of holistic wellness, integrating natural nutritional supplements, essential oils, energy work, intuition, coaching methods, and creativity in helping others rediscover their sparkle and feel more like themselves again.

I offer a wide range of services to help you on your journey to wellness and happiness:

  • Reiki Sessions: Experience the calming and healing effects of Reiki, a natural non-invasive healing modality that enhances the balance of your body, mind, and spirit. Perfect for managing physical or emotional pain, anxiety, stress, and PTSD. Available for both humans and pets, in-person or remotely.

I believe that we spend too much of our lives trying to be who we think we should be, rather than embracing our authentic selves. That’s where I come in – to help you uncover your true essence and find what brings you joy. With a blend of humor, authenticity, and a touch of quirkiness, I aim to create a safe and comfortable space for you to explore, grow, and thrive.

So, if you’re ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery, happiness, and purpose, come on over to where the happy people live! Let’s work together to make your life a work of art and find the things that ignite your soul. Trust me, it’s going to be an amazing adventure!

Happy New Year!

Anyone else feeling like “WTH happened in & to 2022”?! Seems we are all still a little bit in the twilight zone and still wondering where we belong and what the “H” are we supposed to be doing here. Right?!

2022 didn’t feel like a bad year or anything, I mean a lot of great things happened and there were a lot of fun times, but now when I look back and reflect, it all seems like a blur. It feels like everything was rushed or we were on a treadmill and life was just rushing by. Maybe we were all trying to get back the 2 years previous when our lives were really not in our control.

I thought I had it all figured out, a clear roadmap to an end goal but then December hit and it was all kind of a whirlwind. Now my world seems like it’s a bit fumbuttled. (If this isn’t a word, I guess I made it up, LOL!) Sometimes we think we are on a certain path and then we get some forks in our road and we question if what we were striving for is all worth it. For me, I’ve gotten some clarity on how I want to feel in my life, not sure how that will look or what will bring it into fruition but I know it will come and I know the push & grind world is not where it’s at (for me at least). Maybe it’s age, but experiences and being with people that make you laugh, smile and feel good is the absolute best place to be. Let’s stop wasting time on the things that aren’t doing that for us. Because it is well, just that, a waste of time.

Do you ever choose a WORD for the year? I’ve done it a few years (with the exception of last year, again WTH!) I have chosen CONSISTANCY for my word of 2023. I will show up for my dreams and goals and will consistently take the steps (even if they are baby steps) to move forward in what I want. I’d love to hear what your word is!

On another note: I’ve decided Happy New Year can start any day you want! Every day is a chance for a redo if we decide we want to change course, right? Soooo Happy New Year, Happy New Day! Let’s make this year the BEST ever!
