Kate shares her inspiring journey from being diagnosed with MS to becoming symptom-free through holistic healing and mindset transformation.

What if your emotional state, NOT your to-do list, is what’s holding you back?

In this episode of The Hormone Helper Podcast, I sit down with behavior expert Tree Ryde for a raw and eye-opening convo about why we sabotage our own goals and how to reclaim emotional control, presence, and purpose.

Tree blends years of experience in marketing, yoga, NLP, and hypnosis to help people release old patterns, shift limiting beliefs, and live more aligned, on-purpose lives.

Here’s what we unpack in this powerful conversation:

• Why “just be present” isn’t helpful advice, and what actually works
• The real reason people stay stuck in self-sabotage loops
• How emotional states and nervous system responses (like fawning) shape behavior
• How to clean up your social media to support your mental health & goals
• A simple “belief rewrite” exercise that anyone can use to reset their inner programming

Whether you're navigating stress, lack of motivation, or just feel like you're not living in your lane, this episode gives you tangible mindset tools to shift your emotional state, and your life from the inside out.
