In this episode, we unpack one of the most misunderstood concepts in modern life: resilience. Is it about being unbreakable, stoic, and hard as nails—or is that just what social media tells us?

Our guest draws from decades of experience across psychology, community health, and academia to challenge the "brick wall" definition of resilience. Instead, we explore it as a dynamic capability—something shaped by adaptability, awareness, genetics, and environment.

From Darwinian biology and epigenetics to the pressures of growing up in a post-social media world, this conversation dives deep into:

Why young people face a different kind of resilience challenge today

How true resilience is more about bending than breaking

The origins of the term ‘resilience’ and how it's been misused

What makes individuals, families, and even businesses more resilient

Why your environment might switch genes on or off—and what that means for your mental health

Whether you're a parent, coach, teacher, or someone navigating a tough season, this episode offers a grounded, empowering take on what it really means to be resilient in 2025.

Hormone symptoms are common, but they’re not normal. So why are so many women left in the dark?

In this episode of The True Form Podcast, I’m joined by Dr Suzi Craig, a Chinese Medicine Practitioner, fertility specialist, and advocate for integrative women’s health. With a background in both traditional Chinese medicine and reproductive science, Dr Suzi offers a unique perspective on hormone balance, fertility, and long-term wellbeing.

🎙️ We discuss:
– What most people misunderstand about PCOS, menopause, and fertility
– The Chinese medicine view of cycles, energy, and hormonal shifts
– Why “normal” doesn’t always mean healthy when it comes to periods and symptoms
– The impact of stress, diet, and environment on your hormones
– Supporting IVF, endometriosis, or perimenopause with an integrative approach
– How acupuncture, herbs, and lifestyle changes can help restore balance

Listener Questions

1. Is it normal for my period to change as I get older, even if I’m not near menopause?
2. How can I tell if my hormones are out of balance?
3. I’ve just come off the pill—what should I be doing to support my body?
4. Can acupuncture actually help with fertility?
5. What are some natural ways to reduce PMS and cramps?
6. I’m in my late 30s—what should I be doing now to prepare for a healthy menopause?
7. Do you have any tips for managing anxiety and poor sleep during perimenopause?
8. What’s one thing Dr Suzi wishes every woman knew about their cycle?
   
   

Whether you're trying to conceive, navigating menopause, or just want to understand your body better, this episode is packed with practical tools and empowering insights.

“Nobody ever asked me what happened. They only asked why.”

In this emotional clip from The True Form Podcast, Eating Disorder and Trauma-Informed Specialist Sammie Lee shares the moment her healing truly began — when someone finally asked the right question.

This conversation dives into:
– Why the question “what happened to you?” is more powerful than “what’s wrong with you?”
– How our medical and mental health systems often miss the mark
– The role of presence, compassion, and deep listening in trauma recovery

If you or someone you know is navigating disordered eating, trauma, or recovery, this is a must-watch moment.
