I was a totally normal person yesterday, so why did I wake up today feeling like I can’t do anything, and I want to burn it all down? We call that PMS, we call it hormonal, and usually we say it like it’s an insult.

Today’s guest, Dr. Aumatma, is straddling two worlds right now. She’s taking her work in fertility and expanding it into leadership, and after I dug into her work and watched her TEDx talk, I knew I had to get her on the show. She and I talk about hustle culture, and why working against your hormones instead of with them is exactly what’s driving the burnout and fatigue so many women are living with day to day.

She makes the case for reclaiming “I am hormonal” as power instead of an apology, and we get into what it looks like to plan your life, your energy, and your work around your cycle instead of a 24-hour clock that was never built for you.

Featured Guest

Dr. Aumatma is a double board-certified Naturopathic Endocrinologist who discovered that her greatest breakthrough came not from speaking louder, but from learning to listen deeper. She’s the founder of the Holistic Fertility Institute, best-selling author of Fertility Secrets: What Your Doctor Didn’t Tell You About Baby-Making, host of Egg Meets Sperm, and co-founder of Madre Fertility. Her TEDx talk explores how silence became her superpower, and her “Lead with Silence” methodology now helps high-achievers, especially women, trade exhaustive overthinking for decisions rooted in body wisdom. Featured on ABC, FOX, CBS, KTLA, and MindBodyGreen.
