Episode 70: PMS & Perimenopause: Finding Ease in the Chaos

Do you find yourself dreading the week before your period? Does PMS feel like it’s taking over, leaving you overwhelmed and out of balance? Or maybe you're in your 40s, watching your body change, your moods fluctuate, and wondering, What on earth is happening to me?

Here’s something you might not know—PMS, or the luteal phase of your cycle, could be giving you a glimpse into perimenopause. The emotional shifts, the mood swings, the cravings—they might all be echoing something deeper happening in your body as you approach this powerful transition. Both your period and menopause are pivotal milestones in your hormone journey, and the signs leading up to these transitions are here to teach you, not punish you.

The changes you're feeling aren’t just random chaos. They are snapshots of what your body has likely been whispering to you each month since the start of your period. The truth is, PMS and perimenopause are invitations to tune into yourself, to reflect, and to prepare for a new phase of life with more clarity and wisdom.

Today on the podcast, we’re diving deep into how these two phases of life—PMS and perimenopause—are connected, how to decode the messages your body is sending, and most importantly, how you can find ease amidst what might feel like chaos. Let’s embrace the journey together and reclaim the balance you deserve.
