Welcome to the Living in Sync Podcast, I am your host Joelle Suess and on this podcast you are going to be hearing how you can live fully into the present moment of your life no matter what stage, season, or phase (of your cycle) you are in. I have been an accidental entrepreneur for over a decade. I have experience in direct sales, course creation, 1;1 nutrition coaching, and everything in between. For a long time I put myself into a box. At first it was at home fitness, then it was intentional productivity as a mom, then it went back to hormone health and cycle syncing, and now I am just sharing it all with you. I am going to be sharing solo topic episodes as well as amazing guest conversations about all the things. No matter if you are a stay at home mom, corporate climber, entrepreneur, or anything in between I hope you enjoy each weeks topics because it is going to be a blend of everything! Health, wellness, nutrition, and living in sync with your cycle will still be some of our highlighted topics but why do we have to be so obsessed with our bodies losing weight when life is so bountiful and beautiful. There is so much more to life! I am in the midst of evolving, changing, and challenging myself! If you are in for real life topics of conversation make sure you are following the show so you don’t miss an episode!

In this episode of Living in Sync, I’m getting real about what progress actually looks like—because let’s be honest, it’s rarely a straight line.
I’m sharing a few personal examples from my own goals lately—some that are moving steadily, and others that feel a little... stuck. (Hi, plateaus 👋)
We’ll talk about:
➡️ What it means to track progress without obsessing
➡️ Why it’s okay (and normal!) for growth to come in waves
➡️ How to tell the difference between needing rest vs. needing to recommit
➡️ Simple mindset shifts that help you stay consistent—even when motivation dips
Whether you're working toward health goals, business goals, or just trying to feel more in sync with yourself, this episode is here to remind you: progress isn’t perfect, but it is powerful.
🎧 Tune in now and give yourself a little grace—because you’re doing better than you think.

Ever heard someone say exercise raises cortisol—and felt confused about whether that’s helping or hurting your stress levels? In this episode, we’re breaking it all down in a way that actually makes sense.
I’m sharing the real deal about how movement impacts your stress hormones, why that cortisol spike during a workout isn’t something to fear, and how exercise actually helps you build more energy and emotional resilience over time.
We’ll chat about:
-
Why cortisol isn’t the enemy (it’s actually kind of amazing)
-
The difference between short-term stress and long-term burnout
-
How moving your body helps with emotional regulation + mental clarity
-
Why the type of movement matters way more than intensity
-
What to do when you're exhausted but know you need to move
This episode is your permission slip to rethink your relationship with working out—whether you’ve been overdoing it, avoiding it, or just want to feel better in your body and brain.

In this episode, I’m getting real about what actually shifts after you become a mom—especially once your kids hit that school-age stage. I’m sharing a mix of personal stories, voice notes from you (my amazing Instagram fam), and some serious wisdom from Dr. Morgan Cutlip’s book Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself that I think every mom should read.
We’re talking about:
-
The invisible mental load that no one prepares you for
-
Why motherhood sometimes feels like a seven-layer cake of pressure (yes, really)
-
How to handle tantrums without losing your cool (or your mind)
-
The unexpected ways your identity shifts after kids
-
What it really means to aim for “okay-ish” motherhood—and why that’s more than enough
Whether you’re deep in the trenches or just trying to figure out who you are now that “mom” is part of your title, this episode is here to remind you: you’re not alone, and you’re doing better than you think.
