The #1 Mistake Keeping You Stuck in PMDD

If you're only working on your PMDD when symptoms hit, you're stuck in damage control mode—and it's keeping you from real healing. In this episode, Jess breaks down the PMDD damage control cycle that traps so many women and reveals why the best time to address your hormonal mood symptoms is actually when you feel good. Discover how to shift from reactive management to proactive healing with a whole-cycle approach that actually creates lasting change.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• The PMDD damage control cycle and why it keeps you feeling like you're always playing catch-up in life

• Why waiting until you're symptomatic to address PMDD is the #1 mistake keeping you stuck (and what to do instead)

• The difference between PMDD whiplash, PMDD amnesia, and PMDD denial—and how they work together to sabotage your healing

• Why you can't build a foundational system while you're peak symptomatic (and when you actually can)

• The critical distinction between reduction strategies and management techniques—and when to use each one

• How the damage control cycle perpetuates shame, guilt, and negative beliefs about yourself month after month

• Why most women are losing six months of their year to PMDD symptoms and how a whole-cycle approach changes everything

• The neurochemical and nervous system shifts behind PMDD whiplash that make you feel like two different people
