6 Ways to Cope with PMS Anxiety and Mood Swings

Do you notice your anxiety, mood, or motivation shifting with your cycle? In this episode, I’m diving into how hormone changes, especially during the pre-menstrual phase, can impact those with high-functioning anxiety, and how you can start working with your cycle rather than pushing against it. I’ll be sharing practical, compassionate strategies you can start using today.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why anxiety and emotional sensitivity often spike during the pre-menstrual (luteal) phase
• How to track your cycle emotionally and use “cycle syncing” to reduce PMS intensity
• Six practical coping tools, including how to manage overwhelming emotions with the RAIN technique
