Not Lazy, Not Crazy—Just A Woman: The Monthly Truth No One Talks About

Ever wake up feeling like the world’s ending—only to realise it’s just day one of your monthly cycle? You’re not broken, you’re just human (and hormonal). In this episode, psychologist Katie Woodland pulls back the curtain on the real science behind mood swings, overwhelm, and the monthly emotional rollercoaster. From the truth about hormones and mental health to the dangers of medicalising puberty, Katie gets real about why women’s biology matters and why compassion (not criticism) is the antidote to burnout. Plus: five practical hacks for surviving hormonal chaos, and why tracking your cycle could change everything. Whether you’re dealing with PMS, supporting a loved one, or just want to understand your body better, this episode is for you. Until next time,

xoxo Katie 😘
