Ep. 117 - Menstrual Cycles, PMS and PMDD with Briana Villegas
From growing up viewing periods as an annoyance, learning how to better understand my menstrual cycle has been life-changing and in my opinion, isn't talked about enough.
We are not the same as men (clearly), but learning to know our bodies better and how our energy levels work can help us be our best selves and work WITH ourselves rather than against it.
In this episode of the Marriage and Motherhood Podcast, I am joined by menstrual cycle coach and host of the Hormone Rants podcast, Briana Villegas. Briana shares her journey and insights on the importance of understanding and embracing the menstrual cycle to optimize energy, productivity, and achieve personal and professional goals without compromising health or relationships.
Tune into to hear her share about:
- Menstrual cycle and its power
- Phases of the menstrual cycle
- PMDD: symptoms and support
- Practical tips for managing Your cycle
- The importance of communication and support
