Have you ever felt like you were making progress — only to suddenly feel like you’re right back where you started?

In this episode, Kristin and Gina, hormone health coaches and co-founders of Stop Chasing Wellness, dive into a truth that doesn’t get talked about enough: healing is not linear.

We explore:

• Why we expect constant upward progress (thanks, social media and diet culture)
• How the “all-or-nothing” mindset keeps women stuck
• Why bodies are adaptive, not mechanical
• What setbacks actually mean (hint: not failure)
• How stress responses can temporarily resurface symptoms
• Why hormones naturally fluctuate month to month
• How growth often feels uncomfortable before it feels stable

We also share stories to illustrate how progress often reveals itself when you zoom out instead of spiraling inward.

If you’re in a season where symptoms feel louder, motivation feels lower, or you’re questioning your progress — this episode is your reminder:

Healing happens in waves.
Setbacks are information.
Kindness during hard moments is real growth.

Progress over perfection — always.
