Navigating life post-divorce is tough enough, but throw PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) into the mix, and it can feel almost impossible. Picture this: You're trying to make major life decisions like relocating or dealing with the emotional fallout of losing a key decision-making partner, all while battling the extreme mood swings of PMDD. You’ll hear my story about how I managed to steer through these rough waters, distinguishing between impulsive and spontaneous decisions, and how self-awareness and spiritual solace became my lighthouse in times of suffering.

When you're battling PMDD, making informed long-term relationship decisions becomes a critical task. It’s easy to misinterpret a partner’s actions as malicious when they might just be unintentional. We dive into the importance of choosing partners who align not just with your current life but your future goals and lifestyle. Learn why isolation and impulsive decision-making during PMDD episodes can lead to regret and how considering the broader impacts on children, finances, and personal well-being can help you avoid making decisions based solely on temporary emotions.

Let’s face it: PMDD can create some pretty intense emotional storms. This episode explores the importance of not making permanent decisions based on these transient emotions. We'll discuss how repetitive negative thought cycles can make you feel powerless and lead to misinterpretations in your relationship. By becoming more self-aware and focusing on the positive aspects, you can manage your emotions better and prevent PMDD from wreaking havoc on your relationships. Plus, discover tools and resources available in my private group, Trauma Transformations, designed to help you rewire your PMDD brain and make thoughtful, peaceful decisions.
