This isn’t a ”I’m cured! Do exactly what I did”. It’s a ”let’s walk through this together, here’s what I’ve found helpful along the way”. If we haven’t met, I’m Lauren Collins, the host of this podcast! I’ve been a registered nurse for over a decade, and my passion ever since being diagnosed with PMDD has been to help women on their own journeys.

We’re talking about the HPA axis — not in a science-heavy way, but in a real-life, “this is why I feel the way I do” way. In this conversation, I’m naming the things so many of us walk through:• feeling overstimulated just trying to get through the day• snapping or shutting down because your body is already at capacity• exhaustion that feels spiritual and physical• the guilt that comes with being overwhelmed when you “should be stronger”• wondering why your symptoms flare when life gets stressful And we’ll walk through:• why stress + HPA-Axis dysregulation doesn’t cause PMDD, but absolutely makes it louder (a bit different than the other root causes of premenstrual dysphoric disorder)• how to acknowledge the stress your body is actually carrying• simple ways to soften your system again• how to invite God into your stress instead of coping alone• gentle rhythms that support you all month long This is your permission to stop pretending you’re fine and start supporting your body with grace, truth, and the help God offers.
