Speaker 1 (00:21):
Have you ever felt like you're living two different lives like clockwork? One version of you disappears into darkness while another takes over, leaving destruction in its wake. For 17 years, this was my reality. I'm Jess, and like you, I've walked the lonely path of PMDD, premenstrual Dysphoric disorder. I was undiagnosed, misdiagnosed, and told it was all in my head. That journey nearly cost me my life, but it also led me to my purpose. Welcome to PMDD PEP Talk, where we bring hope, humor, and healing to your journey. As a board certified nutritional therapist, menstrual health coach, and founder of her mood mentor, I've transformed my pain into my purpose and that journey has taught me something revolutionary. PMDD isn't just something to survive or deal with. It's an invitation to thrive and heal Together we are rewriting our stories and transforming how we approach hormonal mood symptoms.

Every week, PM MDD PEP talk brings you the science nobody taught us, explained in words that actually make sense. Unfiltered stories from other pmd, DERs on the healing journey, practical strategies you can implement today.
