PMS Made Peaceful | Emotional Regulation, Cycle Syncing, Monthly Cycle Hormones, Christian Women
--- TOP 3% GLOBALLY RANKED PODCAST --- Do you wish you could better manage the spiraling emotions that make you feel out of control every month? Are you looking for ways to keep tabs on your cycle so you’re not caught off guard by negative, intrusive thoughts every single premenstrual phase? Do you need a wellness strategy you can actually stick to that isn’t overwhelming? If this sounds familiar, I’m so glad you’re here. Welcome to PMS Made Peaceful, the podcast for Christian women wanting more emotional regulation during their premenstrual phase. This podcast will teach you how to better manage the emotional rollercoaster each month through holistic wellness strategies, building habits that work for you and keeping you rooted in who God says you are (aka Beloved Daughter of the King!) Hey, I’m Lauren! I’m a registered nurse, wellness coach, mama and Christ-follower. For over a decade I struggled to manage the spiraling anxiety and debilitating lies that would pile on me in the week before my period. I felt lost and crazy, like I was failing my family, friends and God, with no ability to just “pull myself together”. I finally realized that if I didn’t want to be emotionally tossed around each cycle, I would need to partner with my body and the natural rhythms God had created me with. Through following simple habits I actually enjoyed doing, learning holistic wellness strategies that matched where I was in my cycle and knowing who I needed to spend time with every day (you guessed it.. the Lord!), my premenstrual phases began to feel more manageable and less out of control. And I want the same for you. If you’re ready to feel more emotionally regulated throughout your whole cycle, to work with the rhythms God has created you with, and to stick to healthy habits that will keep you grounded, present and feeling good, then this podcast is for you! So, if you’re ready to get started, take a deep breath, grab your coffee, and let’s jump in!

Struggling with despair? Feeling frantic or like you're on the verge of breaking down? Questioning if you are loved or if God is near?
In this week's episode, we're having a quick chat about 2 Timothy 2:13: "If we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot disown himself".
This verse has been extremely comforting to me this week as I have struggled with a lot of despairing internal dialogue and difficult emotions. It gives me so much comfort to know that even when I don't have the faith, Jesus still holds me so close.
I hope this episode gives you encouragement today too.
Much love, friend.
Lauren

In today's episode, we're talking about the stigma and taboo-ness around women's health and the menstrual cycle. I think I can confidently say we've all experienced it and each of us has varying degrees of baggage, shame or discomfort around the topic.
I'm talking about how we can start gaining more awareness of our bodies and creating space for conversation, however you want that to look for yourself. It doesn't have to be covering ourselves with our menstrual blood and saying I AM WOMAN!, or hiding away in our rooms, pretending nothing is wrong, that you're not feeling things and all that! Let's find a happy balance that you feel confident and happy in!
Let's jump into it!

The reality is, our bodies crave simplicity and getting back to the basics. We often think that balancing hormones, getting emotionally regulated, getting our energy back and not being overwhelmed involve a whole slew of things. Yet, it's really the exact opposite. The more we try to "do" and "force", the more stressed out we're going to be, and we all know how that leads to more negative health issues.
In this episode, I'm chatting about the 3 core pillars for helping solve menstrual-health related issues (from PMS to PCOS) that bring you back to the basics. While each of these specific health issues, like endometriosis & PCOS, have their own intricacies and different approaches, these 3 pillars are a great place to start.
While these 3 points are very overarching, if you are interested in getting down to the specifics and figuring out how they can apply in your life and your specific situation, I'd love to work with you. If you'd like to chat to see if 1:1 coaching is the right fit for you, click the here and we can have a quick 10-15 minute chat!
Blessings,
Lauren

Hey friend! In today's episode, I'm sharing the big differences between PMS, PMDD and PME (that is, premenstrual syndrome, premenstrual dysphoric disorder and premenstrual exacerbation).
We're looking at things like:
- diagnostic criteria for PMDD
- can you have all of these at the same time
- what is going on in your body and brain
- and what do we do with this information?!
I hope this information helps you so much!

Alright, friend! We're back to the first Monday of the month, and I'm getting back into our "Take a Moment Monday" episode! I want this episode on the first Monday of each month to be a bit more contemplative and reflective, and help you dive more into the word, which is the best place to know truth and be rooted in it!
So this week, I'm talking about Romans 12:8! Do you know the camp song that goes with it?? Maybe not :D But how does this verse pertain to us when we're knee deep in irritability, visceral rage, frustration, rollercoaster mood swings... where it just feels our volatile thoughts and emotions are taking control of us?
Have a listen and we can find out together!

Hey ladies! We're officially into the fall season, and in an energetic sense, that means the luteal phase! And I'm sure if you've been hanging around here, you feel the weight, heaviness and difficulty of the luteal/ premenstrual phase.
So, how do we transition well and give our minds and our hearts the space and permission it desires? This week I'm sharing 3 shifts you can be implementing to help you take care of your WHOLE self during this season, while also preparing for the next season coming up (winter/ menstruation).
Have a listen, and may you find pockets of space in this season to lean into reflection and listening.

Hey friends! This week I'm so excited to introduce to you my guest on the show, Danika Vanderpyl! Danika is Certified in Holistic Nutrition, and shares all the goodness she knows about what foods, minerals and vitamins your body needs in every every phase of your menstrual cycle.
As women, we're not linear, robotic creatures that require one thing to fuel us all month long. Throughout each of the phases, our bodies need different things- different movement, self/ soul-care, socializing, nutrition. And this is exactly what Danika and I chat about in this episode.
The best part of it? In our conversation, she breaks it all down into more simple and bite-size strategies so you're not feeling extra overwhelmed. Because, really friend, you don't need more overwhelm than what you're already experiencing!
I'd highly encourage you to grab a notebook and pen and take notes! Also, don't forget to come into my Facebook group to grab the notes and snack recipes Danika shares in this episode!
Danika Vanderpyl is Certified in Holistic Nutrition with a passion for helping women making eating simple, energizing, and healthy. After facing her own digestive challenges, Danika transformed her favorite recipes into nutrient dense, low-sugar alternatives to heal her body. Now a food blogger she share these wholesome recipes at besidethemoutain.com. As a mom of two boys, Danika is passionate about helping women and mothers thrive in holistic living—from eating to heal the body to hiking to recharge and thrive.

Hey friend! We're getting back into the contemplative, "be still" kind of episodes I had offered when I first started this podcast. Originally they had been every other Thursday, but now they will be on the first Monday of every month. Keep your eyes out for "Take a Moment Monday"!
I brought them back a) because I wasn't doing them in my Facebook group, which was the whole reason for taking them off of the podcast and b) because actually practicing calming my mind and my thoughts and slowing down has been so helpful for me in the last number of weeks.
When it comes to finding solutions for working through PMS and PMDD symptoms, we really need to come at it from that holistic point of view. The movement is important, eating the right foods is key, finding the right coping tools to regulate our emotions is vital AND coming to our Creator and letting Him speak over us is absolutely necessary.
So, grab a journal and pen and find a quiet space you can be in for 15 minutes.
I pray this blesses you.
Lauren
