What if your symptoms weren’t random… but clues? In this special crossover episode from Your Hormone Balance, Jess sits down with her sister Rye to talk about how to decode your body’s signals and build daily rituals that actually support your hormones instead of stressing them out. They break down how to track symptoms, understand what each cycle phase is telling you, and create small, nourishing habits that feel luxurious (not restrictive) — so you can feel better without overhauling your entire life. Because healing your hormones isn’t about perfection. It’s about awareness + consistency + compassion.  Key Takeaways ✨ Awareness beats restriction ✨ Track symptoms to see patterns (not to micromanage yourself) ✨ Your cycle phases each need different support ✨ Most “common” PMS symptoms aren’t actually normal ✨ Nervous system regulation = hormone support ✨ Rituals work when they feel good, not forced ✨ Romanticize your habits so you want to keep them ✨ Progress compounds like interest Your Next Steps: 👉 Take the “Decode Your Symptoms” Quiz 👉 Decode Your Hormones w/ YHB’s Test + Custom Natural Balance Guide 👉 Listen to the Decode Your Hormones podcast 👉 Check Out Jess’s Membership + Course: Supercharge Your Cycle (SYC) Membership — cyclical living, hormone harmony, monthly coaching, Sexy 6 meal guidance, nervous system tools, and a supportive community + Watch: Behind-The-Scenes SYC Tour 🎥  👉 Follow Jess on Substack  Resources: — Sign up for the Your Hormone Balance newsletter — MyFLO App (cycle tracking by Alisa Vitti) — 28 App (cycle syncing + lifestyle guidance) — Natural Cycles (fertility + ovulation tracking) — Oura Ring (wearable for temperature, HRV, sleep) — Tempdrop (overnight temp tracking armband) — Daysy (basal body temperature device) — Moon phase tracking app (for cyclical living without a period)  — Atomic Habits by James Clear Enter our Podcast Giveaway 🎁  👉 Subscribe to our SOLO Substack to be entered to win: 1) 3 Months Inside the SYC Membership (value: $291) 2) 30-Min Hormone Call w/ Candace Burch (value $199) +A customized hormone balance guidebook based on your symptoms & life stage Follow The Hosts: 🎧 Podcast IG → @solo2.0podcast 💜 Jess’s IG → @bodyblissbyjess 💜 Rye’s IG → @ryeburch 📩 Email Us → [email protected] ✨ Hormone Testing & Consulting → Your Hormone Balance 🧡 If this episode resonated, be sure to rate + review—it really helps us grow! ⏳ Episode Timestamps: 0:00 – Intro + why this episode is a special Decode Your Hormones crossover 02:09 – Meet Jess + her coaching philosophy 03:20 – “Day in the Life Review” (how Jess assesses clients) 06:30 – Becoming a compassionate detective instead of judging yourself 08:45 – Why tiny tweaks beat total life overhauls 10:00 – How to track symptoms (apps + tools) 11:00 – Favorite cycle tracking apps explained 12:15 – Basal body temperature tracking + ovulation accuracy 14:00 – Natural Cycles, Oura Ring, Tempdrop, Daysy explained 18:30 – What to do if you DON’T have a regular cycle 19:30 – Using moon phases for cyclical living 22:50 – Common symptoms by phase (what’s common vs what’s normal) 24:45 – Ovulation breakouts + testosterone connection 26:20 – Luteal hunger & metabolism (why you need more food) 28:45 – Migraines, stress & multi-layered root causes 31:00 – “Romanticizing your rituals” explained 33:00 – Morning routine examples + nervous system support 36:30 – Atomic Habits strategy: make good habits attractive 37:45 – Small lifestyle upgrades that change your energy 40:00 – Creating joyful family rituals (not just “healthy” ones) 41:00 – Real client wins: weight loss, symptom relief, periods returning 43:30 – Stop obsessing over the goal — focus on daily actions 45:00 – How to connect with Jess + SYC membership

Listen to this guided visualization as a powerful way to release what no longer serves you and gain clarity on the direction you want to move in during this next chapter of your life. Jess & Rye recently recorded a year end reflection episode [Year End Reflection Exercises for Relationships, Health & Success], where they guide you through reflective journaling prompts designed to help you assess “what feels good” and “what needs work” in your relationships, success and health. This guided visualization is the recommended next step after completing those journal prompts, helping you move from reflection to projection— so clarity isn’t just something you think about, but something you feel in your body and then act upon. This experience was created and recorded by Jess Suchan: podcast cohost, and holistic health and certified breathwork and meditation facilitator. She designed this visualization to support you in releasing old patterns, reconnecting to your intuition, and stepping into confidence, alignment, and aligned action. When to Listen: we recommend listening in the morning, when your subconscious mind is naturally more receptive (you’re spending more time in alpha and theta brainwave states). These states support creativity, emotional processing, visualization, and habit change — making it an ideal time to plant new intentions and anchor in clarity. How to Use This Experience For best results: Start with the Solo guided reflection journaling episode (and get the worksheet by subscribing to our substack and commenting on THIS substack post). 👉Listen to this guided visualization to integrate what came up and connect with your 2.0 Self. You can also start here if you’re craving grounding or clarity right now and return to the journaling prompts later to further support insight around your life, energy, goals, and what’s asking for change. REMINDER: download the FREE reflection worksheet by following these steps:  1. Subscribe to our Substack 2.

In this final episode of 2025, Jess and Rye invite you into their favorite end-of-year ritual centered on reflection, release, and intentional momentum. They explore the concept of the “Year of the Snake” (shedding, inner work, letting go) and the “Year of the Horse” (movement, self-trust, aligned action). This episode is part heart-to-heart conversation, part guided self-inquiry — designed to help you close the year with honesty and step into the next chapter with clarity, compassion, and confidence. You’ll be guided through reflection prompts around relationships, success, and health, followed by an invitation to take the next step via a calming guided visualization to help you release what no longer serves you and reconnect to your next-level self.  (The 13 minute guided visualization by Jess is released as a standalone minisode on the podcast which you can access HERE) 📓Free Reflection Worksheet 📓 How to grab your downloadable Reflection & Projection Worksheet used for this exercise: How to get it: 1) Subscribe to our Substack 2) Comment the word “reflection” on THIS post  Resources Mentioned: 👉 Visit substack to reveal our new podcast NAME (HERE) Enter our Podcast Giveaway 🎁  👉 Subscribe to our SOLO Substack to be entered to win: 1) 3 Months Inside the SYC Membership (value: $291) 2) 30-Min Hormone Call w/ Candace Burch (value $199) +A customized hormone balance guidebook based on your symptoms & life stage Learn about Jess’s Membership + Course 👉 Supercharge Your Cycle (SYC) Membership — cyclical living, hormone harmony, monthly coaching, Sexy 6 meal guidance, nervous system tools, and a supportive community Your Hormone Balance Hormone Test Bundle 👉 Decode Your Hormones Test + Custom Natural Balance Guide Your Hormone Balance NEW secret podcast: 👉 Decode Your Hormones  Follow Jess on Substack: 👉 Jess’s Substack  Book Jess Mentioned: The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson Stay Connected: 🎧 Podcast IG →⁠ @solo2.0podcast⁠ 📲 Jess’s IG →⁠@bodyblissbyjess⁠ 📲 Rye’s IG →⁠ @ryeburch⁠ 📩 Email Us → ⁠[email protected]⁠ 🧡 If this episode resonated, be sure to rate + review—it’s how we grow!

*Trigger warning: we share personal experiences about miscarriage in this episode* In this heartwarming (and off-the-cuff) episode, Jess and Rye sit down with their mom, Candace Burch — hormone health educator, founder of Your Hormone Balance, and living testament to aging with vibrance.  Candace shares pivotal life lessons from her 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. From her first shaky steps with hormonal birth control in the 1960s, to getting pregnant in her late 30s, to navigating perimenopause and ultimately becoming a fierce advocate for hormone testing and natural balance. This candid conversation is packed with wisdom for women at every life stage. Key Talking Points: — The powerful (and unintended) impact of going on hormonal birth control in her 20s — acne scars, mood swings, and why she wishes she’d had cycle awareness tools. — How feeling “broody” in her mid-30s led to embracing motherhood after years of living footloose in Europe (and selling art out of a van in France!). — Her traumatic miscarriage experience in Paris, what she learned about progesterone, and how it actually sparked her desire to have children. — The reality of having kids in her late 30s and early 40s, then heading straight into perimenopause with unpredictable moods and hot flashes. — How hormone testing, lifestyle changes, and bioidentical progesterone cream changed everything — plus why personalized testing is essential. — What women in their 20s & 30s should start doing now to support future hormone balance, fertility, and graceful aging. — Why it’s never selfish to prioritize your health, and how Candace keeps thriving (and dancing past midnight) at 77.
