In this episode, Shamash Alidina and I discuss: 

• How living with PMDD, or other chronic illness, can lead us to pause our life while we try to heal 
• And how this can lead to losing touch with ourselves and the things that bring value, meaning and purpose to our lives

Shamash and I talk about how making room for our challenges, and turning back to the things that are meaningful for us, can help us to live a richer, more purposeful life, even with PMDD.


I share how fighting less, and opening up more, actually led me to find some relief from PMDD symptoms.

Shamash is best known as the internationally bestselling author of 10 books including Mindfulness For Dummies and The Mindful Way through Stress. He also co-founded the world's first Museum of Happiness in London, and often collaborates with UK Charity, Action for Happiness.

Shamash pioneered online Mindfulness Teacher Training, launching his program Teach Mindfulness Online, and has been training practitioners in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy–or Training–also called ACT.
