105. When Your Worst PMDD Decisions Are Filling You With Shame

from PMDD Redeemed | Emotional Regulation, Cycle Syncing, Monthly Cycle Hormones, Christian Women, Hormone Imbalance · host Lauren Collins | Christian Support For PMDD

We've all been there: We have these thoughts and desires that completely envelope us during the luteal phase, in our darkest PMDD moments. Whether it's leaving your husband, quitting a job, moving, burning a relationship.  For some of us, those thoughts actually turn into actions. And we're often left with intense and immense guilt or shame after everything has settled. In this episode, I share my own struggles with the flesh when it comes to my marriage and how it's a monthly, and sometimes daily battle I'm facing. I hope, most of all in this episode, you'd see the hope and redemption that is available to you by coming to the foot of the cross, to Jesus, the great Redeemer and Restorer of our hearts, even after making decisions that have left us in a pile of shame, guilt and condemnation. Next Steps: -------- The Luteal Prep Guide helps Christian women with PMDD prepare for the hardest phase of their cycle by combining practical physiology with grounded, biblical truth. It walks you through supporting your hormones, body and nervous system while anchoring your mind in Scripture, so you’re not just surviving the luteal phase, but approaching it with wisdom, intention, and faith.
