Orla’s Happy Hormones

Ep.41- Should You Stay On The Pill?

This weeks Órlas Happy Hormones Podcast has just gone live.  Episode 41 - Should You Be On The Pill? . . I'm talking about many different points and starting at the beginning.  How does the female body work? What are our hormones? How they work in our ovulatory cycles and how they work in our behavioural patterns.  Even how they work for how we choose partners in life and in the bedroom (and why that is) and even how our partners choose us.  Then I look at how everything changes when we are on synthetic hormonal medications and why we behave so differently. . . And as per usual I throw in some of my own experiences for relatability and humour.  But I talk about how my brain changed when I changed pills and the decision I decided to make for myself. . . I hope it answers your questions surrounding whether or not you should come off the pill or stay on it.  Happy Friday and Happy Hormones

Ep.40 New Years & Shoulda Woulda Coulda's

This weeks episode of Órlas Happy Hormones has just gone live and I’m talking about Reflection & Growth. I recorded this episode originally on New Years Eve but I lost it in my technology collapse 🙈 but I put it down to it wasn’t meant to go out. The universe didn’t want me to post it. Subsequently, I was using that as an excuse to not practice what I preach. So, using my original footnotes, but with a more honest & authentic body. Here’s this weeks episode. Talking about shame & vulnerability and how using food, drink and emotional intelligence (my culprit) as avoidance tools. How breaking New Years resolutions is really just you getting triggered and spiralling into a shame cycle. It’s heavy I know (🙈🤷🏻‍♀️🙈) but happy hormones & happy weekend 💜🌸💜

Ep.37 Am I where I wanted to be at 33?

So this weeks episode is a personal one. I was very contemplative over my birthday and in being so, realised how much I’ve changed over the course of 16 years. But that’s life, we are forever evolving. So if you want to listen to the ramblings of a 33 year old woman click the link. Happy Weekend & Happy Hormones

Ep 36. "Are you on your period?”...No, Maybe You're Just Being A D*ck!!!

This week I’m talking about that age old question put to women of “Are You On Your Period?” When you are assertive or get angry for very valid reasons. I’m also looking at women’s behavior towards other women based on our differences and why it is people try to be-little other people based around gender or any differences they may have. Happy Hormones 💜🌸💜

Ep.35 Do You Know Your Body?

This weeks episode of Órlas Happy Hormones Podcast has just gone live.  This week I want to know, Do You Know Your Body? Do you know what your body looks like? Do you know how it feels? Would you know if something changed in it? Do you observe your health patterns?  . . I'm talking about breast checks, v@gina checks, p€nis & t€sticle checks and how intimate partners can help each other out. So men, this one isn't just for the women.  This episode contains alot of talk around your intimate areas, so possibly not one to listen to on loudspeaker in public places or work if you or your co-workers are uncomfortable talking about body parts. . . Happy Friday & Happy Hormones💜🌸💜

Ep. 33 Q&A With The Listeners

Órlas Happy Hormones Podcast Episode 33 has just gone live. This week I'm doing another Q&A style episode.  I love these episodes because I get to go more in depth with my answers. . I'm answering these 3 questions this week: 1. Hi Órla, I suffer with extreme irregular periods, maybe one every 6 months since coming off the pill.  I've had bloods taken but all hormone levels are normal.  Why is this?  . 2. Hey Órla, What herbs would you use for  period pains? Neurofen is the only thing that works for me but it kills my stomach.  Thanks. . 3. Hi Órla, Myself and my boyfriend haven't had s€x in a long time.  I'm worried I'm not attractive to him anymore.  Any advice?  .

Órlas Happy Hormones Podcast Ep.32 has just gone live. . . This week I’m talking about being your authentic self and connection. I was lucky enough to be invited to a Women’s Inspire Network conference this week, and I re-learned (or remembered) how important it is to be yourself and connect with people. How fear or insecurities can hold us back from experiencing the wonder and beauty of life and connections. . .

Ep.30 Women & Herbal Medicine

Órlas Happy Hormones Podcast Episode 30 has just gone live. Getting to 30 is something I’m really proud of and I wanted to do something a little different. . . You all know by now how passionate I am about women’s knowledge of health, wellness and their own connection to the sacred feminine and being empowered. So I decided to read to the introduction to Anne McIntyres Complete Women’s Herbal Guide. She discusses the intricate connection between women, their feminine natures, plants and the moon with a splash of mythology and the different Goddesses. . . I then add in my own ramblings for good measure. Happy Hormones and here’s to Episode 30 and getting this far 💜🌸💜
