Setbacks, Healing, and Beginning Again with HealthierHer

 Hey HealthierHer,

How have you been? It feels like such a long time since I last sat down to write here. Honestly, life has been a lot. The world has felt so noisy — with wars, tragedies, and endless chaos in the news, I found myself sinking into overwhelm.

And in the middle of it all, I lost my balance. I slipped into depression, overate, overindulged, and then a car accident left me juggling both physiotherapy and psychotherapy. Some days felt heavier than others, and if I’m honest, I didn’t always know how I would keep going.

But here I am. Still standing. Still healing. And coming back to this space, stronger and with more clarity than before.

Living with PCOS has never been a straight path. Since I wasn’t paying attention to my eating and drinking habits, I gained back the weight I had worked so hard to lose. On top of that, the relentless facial hair growth seemed determined to remind me every morning. I joke that it grows by the second — but behind the joke, I know many of you understand the frustration.

I’m sharing this not because it’s easy, but because I know I’m not the only one. If you’ve been struggling too, please hear me when I say: you are not alone. Relapses happen. Setbacks happen. That doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It means you’re human. And the beautiful thing about being human is that we always get the chance to begin again.

✨ That’s what I’m doing now: beginning again.

While I was away, I was also quietly building something behind the scenes — the new HealthierHer Wellness website. It’s finally live, and it’s designed to be a safe, empowering space for all of us navigating PCOS and hormonal health.

Here’s what you can look forward to in this next chapter of HealthierHer:

• Fresh blog posts with practical, natural strategies for thriving with PCOS.

• Honest conversations about the ups, downs, and messy middle of this journey.

• Helpful resources (and some exciting surprises I can’t wait to share).

I’ve missed this space. I’ve missed writing to you. And I’m so grateful to have you here, walking this road with me. So here’s to new beginnings, fresh hope, and reminding ourselves daily that progress is not about perfection — it’s about persistence.

With love and light,
Uloma | HealthierHer 💜
