61. Periods, Depression & Holistic Wellness: Listen to Aileen Orr's Story

Hey friend! It's Monday again, and I'm so excited to share this episode with you of my conversation with Aileen Orr! Aileen and I have been friends for years, and we love chatting about all things holistic and natural wellness, women's health, hormones- all the good stuff! So, we decided to make an official conversation of it and do an episode all about Aileen's experience with getting her period, working through depression, how that affected her premenstrual phase, what she did to help it and where she's at today!

So, grab a coffee, tea- whatever is getting you warm and cozy these days- and have a listen!

Lauren

Aileen grew up on a farm near Brooks, Alberta. She spent the beginning of her adult life studying at the University of Lethbridge, where she got her degrees in English and Education. She's been fortunate enough to do a bit of traveling and living in other places, and has spent the last few years teaching mainly in junior high and upper elementary grades. Her favourite job she's ever had is a tie between working at various summer camps and being a story teller for the library one semester. Her dream job has always been to farm, and that's still the long term goal. She's married to Eric, and she is currently enjoying her first few weeks of Maternity leave before she gets promoted to being Little Sprout's mom!
