In this episode, we dive into how to redefine Christmas to make it meaningful and enjoyable for you, especially if PMDD leaves you dreading the holiday build-up. I’ll help you uncover what the season truly means to you, shifting away from stress and towards a Christmas that resonates on your terms.

We also tackle a hot topic: empathy in politics. After some harsh comments surfaced on my page about voters from different beliefs, particularly around the U.S. elections, I’m sharing my take. Regardless of who someone voted for, everyone deserves healthcare, compassion, and support. Let’s keep kindness front and centre—even in the political whirlwind.

Finally, I give a peek into my experience with the DWP tribunal for PMDD-related benefits. If you’re dealing with the system, too, you’re not alone, and I hope sharing my journey will help you feel supported and informed as you advocate for what you deserve.

I hope you enjoyed this episode and know that recovery and change is possible.

I created Her Shift because I know what it’s like to want more—more confidence, more joy, more purpose, and just... more life. I shifted from a very unfulfilled & numb shell to whole, connected & happy (& successful). Quite literally from surviving to thriving... that's 'The Shift'

In this raw and eye-opening episode, I dive into the unspoken fears that fuel our PMDD and mental health struggles—those worst-case scenarios that keep us isolated, ashamed, and reluctant to get help.

For me, it was the haunting fear of losing my children, a fear that drove me to hide my depression and PMDD symptoms from doctors, employers, and even my kids’ dad to avoid being labeled "crazy" and to protect myself from rejection.

I reflect on Brittany Spears’ very public struggles, her shaved head moment, and the judgment that followed, shedding light on how society stigmatises women’s mental health, especially when motherhood is involved.

Together, let’s confront these fears. I encourage you to think about how your deepest fears and hidden shame may be keeping you from seeking the help you deserve. Reclaiming our mental health doesn’t have to come with sacrificing what matters most to us.

I hope you enjoyed this episode and that recovery and change is possible.

In this episode, we explore a powerful, lesser-discussed view of PMDD—as a symptom of unresolved trauma, rather than just a hormonal imbalance. I dive into the idea that PMDD isn’t just an inconvenience to be "fixed" but a messenger highlighting past wounds that need our attention. We'll talk about the importance of shifting our perspective to thank and acknowledge PMDD for bringing this to light, instead of hating or ignoring it.

I also discuss the reality of different healing paths: for some, symptom management may be enough, while others may want to go deeper into the healing process. From day-to-day coping techniques to the truth about “quick fixes” like hysterectomies, we cover the complexities of finding a path that works for each individual.

If you’re seeking hope and looking for a new perspective on PMDD, this episode will inspire you to take small, compassionate steps forward in your healing journey.

I hope you enjoyed this episode and that recovery and change is possible.
