#66 | Eva Luna Poorthuis | "Reclaiming agency through consciousness"

#66: Reclaiming agency through consciousness!Fascinating deep dive with Eva Luna Poorthuis, founder of Eva Luna Lifestyle and a passionate advocate for women’s health who is not only challenging systems but helping women reconnect with themselves from the inside out.Eva Luna’s journey began with her own symptoms at 18: mood swings, headaches, bloating and a deep sense of not feeling like herself. When the medical response was heavier medication and stress reduction, she felt something was missing. That moment sparked a personal deep dive into hormones, cycles and lifestyle. What started as self inquiry evolved into coaching other women who felt out of tune with their bodies and lives. Alongside that, grief and loss sharpened her awareness that life is short and should not be lived on autopilot. Deep dive talking points:👉🏾 women’s health and slow change: why research and systemic shifts are still lagging and why prevention matters;👉🏾 symptoms as signals: moving beyond fixing symptoms toward understanding the body’s language;👉🏾 identity and body image: unlearning unrealistic standards and reconnecting with self worth;👉🏾 relationships and communication: how self awareness improves connection with partners and family;👉🏾 mortality as mirror: how loss reframed her priorities and deepened her commitment to conscious living;Nuggets of empowerment:🙌🏾 awareness of your body is not a luxury. it is a foundation for agency;🙌🏾 pushing through is often praised, but pausing is where clarity begins;🙌🏾 when you understand yourself better, your relationships shift naturally!Eva Luna’s empowering quote:🙌🏾 “Life is too short to live it on autopilot!” Books mentioned:📚 the five regrets of the dying: on perspective and what truly matters at the end of life;How about you?If you paused this week and truly listened to your body, what might it be trying to tell you?Connect with Eva Luna:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eva-luna-poorthuis-a8108b83/ Company: https://evalunalifestyle.nl Learn more about our sponsor:https://reinforcer.ai helps leaders turn everyday feedback into measurable behavior change, right where work actually happens
