PMS can feel overwhelming, isolating, and confusing — even when you’ve been dealing with it for years. In this solo episode of Cycle Hood, I’m sharing five practical, compassionate steps to help you navigate PMS days with more ease, self-understanding, and kindness toward your body.
We talk about why PMS can make you feel like “you’re not yourself,” how hormonal shifts in the luteal phase impact your energy, mood, training, and self-talk, and — most importantly — what you can actually do about it.
In this episode, you’ll learn how to:
Name and label your cycle phase to bring safety and logic back to your brain
Lower stimulation and reduce comparison, fatigue, and negative self-talk
Intentionally choose your glimmers — the small anchors of joy that ground you
Keep your ego in check with training, movement, and expectations
Support your body with nutrition, hydration, and supplements during PMS
This episode is an invitation to stop blaming yourself, stop fighting your body, and start working with your cycle — not against it.
