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!

RANT: Yes, Exercise Raises Cortisol… and That’s Actually a Good Thing
Tuesday Apr 15, 2025
Tuesday Apr 15, 2025
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.
