Have you ever felt like you're waltzing on a tightrope when it comes to dating, trying to balance your need for intimacy with the necessity of maintaining personal boundaries? That's the heartbeat of our latest episode, where Amy joins me to peel back the layers of dating while living with PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder). We take you through the emotional labyrinth of understanding attachment styles—like my own disorganized attachment—while searching for a partner who can be our rock through the tumultuous tides of PMDD.

Together, Amy and I explore the nuances of setting and respecting boundaries, a dance as intricate as any ballet, where every step counts. We uncover the ways in which women grapple with societal pressures to don masculine armor, especially when PMDD strikes, and the courage it takes to remain soft and vulnerable in a world that often equates this with weakness. Our discussion ventures into the shadows of past traumas and the protective rage they can evoke, all while guiding listeners towards embracing their needs with the boldness of a warrior.

By the end of our conversation, we turn the spotlight on the delicate art of vulnerability, contrasting it with the necessity of having unassailable boundaries in love. The stories we share weave through the importance of discernment in new relationships and the wisdom of listening to the non-verbal cues that often reveal more than words. We affirm the journey of self-discovery and healing, fostering a space of self-compassion where listeners are reminded that although the path to love can be fraught with trials, it's traversed with the strength of community and the mantra: We've got this.
