On today's show, I am chatting with Jess Whetsel. Can I tell you, I freaking love her and I know you will too!

Jess Whetsel is a yogi, a social worker, and a writer based in Denver, Colorado, where she lives with her partner and their three cats. After years of struggling with perfectionism, the depression, and anxiety that go along with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), a mindlessly busy lifestyle, and her body image, Jess finally found the healing nature of yoga, mindfulness, and Ayurveda. She committed to learning and growing through this powerful trio of ancient wisdom, and found that her life began to blossom and open up in ways she had never imagined was possible. She became a certified yoga teacher in the summer of 2018 through Kindness Yoga, and in the future, she wants to become an Ayurvedic health coach so she can work with other women and femme-identified folks who are also struggling with premenstrual disorders.

Jess shares her PMDD journey, her role in the PMDD community and her decision to ditch the antidepressant to treat her PMDD holistically.

Jess radiates positive and contagious energy that I would love to see more of in the PMDD community. If you're not one to listen to the PMDD story episodes, I highly recommend you listen to this one!

HAPPY PMDD AWARENESS MONTH!

I want to start off awareness month, by making peace not war. Totally transparency March was a rough month and I don't know about you, but I have felt beat down a few times. not to mention I read and see a lot of tension in the PMDD community lately and it hurts my heart. We are sisters. We have got to stand together.

I do what I do for the greater good, but for whatever reason, not everyone seems to see it that way. However most do, and I am grateful for that.

I do what I do because my passion is to help, not hinder. I do what I do because I see other women struggling and it makes my heart hurt! I don't want them to struggle and YOU. Yes. YOU reading this right now, I don't want you to struggle. I don't want you to feel alone.

Let's make peace, not war. We are all fighting the same battle so let's join hands!
