A Personal Journey… with Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

A Personal Journey… with Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

Whew… let me tell you, a recent episode of Conversations with Teresa really encouraged me. I sat down with Holly, and this conversation was everything.

Now, I’ve heard of HRT (hormone replacement therapy) before, but the way Holly shared her story? It was real, it was layered, and it made me reflect.

She talked about how HRT didn’t just ease her symptoms; it helped her take back her life. And what really stood out? She didn’t do it alone. Her doctor listened. He partnered with her to find a solution that felt right. That right there? That’s what I’m talkin’ about.

Too often, we try to power through the hot flashes, the fog, and the mood swings, telling ourselves, “This is just part of getting older.” But this conversation reminded me that menopause is not just a moment we suffer through. It’s a transition. It’s a new chapter. And we don’t have to do it in silence.

What Holly’s story taught me is that this isn’t about “fixing” ourselves; it’s about supporting ourselves. With information. With options. With people who see us.

So if you’ve ever felt like you were losing yourself in the process, like you were just “dealing” instead of thriving, please give this episode a listen. It’s a reminder that you don’t have to settle. You can still advocate for your joy, your balance, and your whole self.

Take the time. Reflect. And most of all, take care of yourself.

Let’s keep growing.
