In this episode of Life – An Inside Job podcast, I have a fascinating insight into period pain with my colleague, menstruality coach, educator, speaker and facilitator Lisa de Jong. Lisa works in Ireland and helps women understand and work with the cyclical nature of their menstrual cycle for physical and emotional wellbeing. I was so touched that Lisa decided to share her personal journey with period pain, it’s a sweet, tender conversation and you’ll learn loads about how to manage period pain and the utter gems of wisdom that Lisa has gathered over the years.
Using her personal and professional experience we explore:
- How life experiences affected the menstrual cycle
- How period pain affects identity
- Side effects of taking the pill
- How cosmetics affect your period
- The systemic nature of hormones and wellbeing
- What to eat to balance your hormones
- The role of the gut in period health
- How to use the menstrual cycle as a strength
- How to manage a sensitive system and the gifts it can bring
- What helped in the journey to emotional wellbeing
Plus Lisa’s blinding top tip for a wonderful inner world, especially for people who experience pain.
You can find out more about Lisa’s programs and 1-2-1’s on her site.
