Jess's PMDD Journey to self discovery and learning to love herself, PMDD treatment and her role in the PMDD community.

On today's show, I am chatting with Jess Whetsel. Can I tell you, I freaking love her and I know you will too! Jess Whetsel is a yogi, a social worker, and a writer based in Denver, Colorado, where she lives with her partner and their three cats. After years of struggling with perfectionism, the depression, and anxiety that go along with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), a mindlessly busy lifestyle, and her body image, Jess finally found the healing nature of yoga, mindfulness, and Ayurveda. She committed to learning and growing through this powerful trio of ancient wisdom, and found that her life began to blossom and open up in ways she had never imagined was possible. She became a certified yoga teacher in the summer of 2018 through Kindness Yoga, and in the future, she wants to become an Ayurvedic health coach so she can work with other women and femme-identified folks who are also struggling with premenstrual disorders. Jess shares her PMDD journey, her role in the PMDD community and her decision to ditch the antidepressant to treat her PMDD holistically.   Jess radiates positive and contagious energy that I would love to see more of in the PMDD community. If you're not one to listen to the PMDD story episodes, I highly recommend you listen to this one!   If you live in The Denver Metro area, please drop by to support Jess's event.
