#79 Let's stop blaming our hormones for our feelings.

Hey Hey!

On this week's episode of Just For Today, join me, Steph Grainger, as we venture into the often misunderstood waters of our emotional tides and the role hormones play in them. In an episode I've fittingly titled "Let's Stop Blaming Our Hormones for Our Feelings," I take a stand against the age-old narrative that women's moods are at the mercy of their hormonal cycles.

As I navigate the perimenopausal seas myself, I share my personal reflections on the amplified emotions that come with the ebbs and flows of our monthly cycles. But here's the thing – while our hormones may turn up the volume on our feelings, they are not the puppet masters of our reactions. It's time to debunk the myth that women are held hostage by their biology and to embrace the power of self-awareness.

I delve into the importance of tracking our emotional triggers throughout the month, not just during the premenstrual phase. By understanding the root of our intensified feelings, we can address underlying issues such as the need for appreciation or the fear of rejection, rather than dismissing them as hormonal whims.

This episode is an empowering call to action for all women to honour their emotions as messengers, to engage in self-reflection, and to communicate their needs effectively. It's about reclaiming our narratives and rewriting the script on how we perceive and talk about women's emotional health.

For those seeking to deepen their connection with themselves and to navigate life with a clearer understanding of their emotional landscape, this conversation is a beacon of clarity and empowerment. And for anyone interested in my "Steph in Your Pocket" program for personalised support, all the details can be found here.

So just for today, let's commit to being present in our lives, to truly listen to our bodies and minds, and to appreciate the now. Tune in to this episode that encourages you to see beyond societal stereotypes and to find strength in your emotions.
