What God Showed Me When My "Suck It Up" Broke - GO TO GOD FIRST with Kim Dolan Leto | Lyssna här

Are you tired of saying everything is okay when it's not? Are you showing up, doing what needs to be done, but crumbling inside? Friend, I've been there. I recently went through something traumatic that shook me deeply, and I realized I couldn't just keep pushing through.

My "suck it up" broke. And maybe it needed to.

In this very personal episode of Living God's Way, I'm sharing why I changed my mind about hormones and what God is teaching me about what it really means to be strong.

Because strength isn't about proving how much you can handle. Strength is knowing where your strength comes from.

In This Episode

Why I changed my mind about hormone replacement therapy after six years
The comment on my gym selfie that makes me laugh now
How a difficult season affected my sleep and changed my perspective
Why Gen X women may need to rethink the "suck it up" mentality
The difference between worldly strength, self-reliance, and godly strength
What I'm learning about estrogen, progesterone, menopause, and HRT
Why lifting weights and maintaining muscle matter as we age
The importance of protein, whole foods, sleep, and caring for your body
Why asking for help and advocating for your health are not signs of weakness
What God is teaching me about depending on Him when I don't feel strong

Important: I'm sharing my personal experience, not giving medical advice. Hormone therapy has benefits and risks that vary by individual. Please talk with a qualified healthcare professional about your symptoms, health history, and whether HRT or other treatment options may be appropriate for you.

And stay tuned because I'll also be talking with Dr. Tabatha Barber about menopause and hormones so we can go deeper into the medical side of this conversation.
