In this powerful and hope-filled episode, Brittany sits down with Lauren Collins—a nurse turned faith-based hormonal health coach—for a heartfelt conversation that bridges women’s physical and spiritual well-being. Lauren shares her personal journey through anxiety, PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder), and the healing path that led her to support women in understanding their cycles through a biblical lens.

Together, they explore:

• Lauren’s career shift from nursing to helping women manage hormonal imbalances with faith at the center
• How hormonal changes can affect mental health—and why this matters spiritually
• The connection between trauma, cycle awareness, and identity in Christ
• Practical and natural tools for regulating hormones, including nutrition, movement, sleep, and tracking cycle signs
• Why consistency and simple habits are key—especially for postpartum anxiety
• How to recognize and resist the lies of the enemy during vulnerable phases of the cycle

Lauren’s insights offer a compassionate and Christ-centered approach to a topic many women silently struggle with. Whether you’re navigating PMS, postpartum anxiety, or want to better understand your God-designed body, this episode is filled with truth, encouragement, and practical steps.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by my friend, Michelle Castro, from the Rip It Off podcast for a real and redemptive conversation about God’s design for sex and intimacy within marriage—especially for women carrying the weight of post-abortion shame.

We unpack the biblical foundations of intimacy, how Satan distorts God’s gift of sex, and how shame—especially from past decisions—can deeply impact your connection with your spouse. But this isn’t just about identifying the pain. It’s about healing, hope, and freedom.

Michelle and I talk about:

• God’s beautiful and intentional design for sex within marriage
• The lies the enemy tells us about our bodies, our worth, and our sexuality
• How shame can affect emotional and physical intimacy
• How God desires for you to experience joy, connection, and pleasure in marriage
• Practical encouragement for healing and restoring intimacy with your spouse

If you want to understand intimacy from a biblical lens, this episode is filled with truth and grace.
