For those who might not know: on the first of each month, Holly Whitaker and I go live and get a bunch of stuff off our chests.
She’s one of my favorite thinkers, and over the past year we’ve developed a deep connection based on radical honesty, creating tools for chaos, and thinking about how women can move through these times with more softness and agency. Our hope is that these chats leave you feeling more anchored and ready for whatever comes next.
If you want to join us live next month, we’ll be syncing up again Monday, December 1 at 5:00 PM PT / 8:00 PM ET.
What we unpacked and timestamps below:
PMDD & cycle awareness (1:12–6:35)
Perimenopause & anxiety (8:58–9:28)
The energy it takes to be here right now (14:41–16:01)
Routine vs. fluidity (27:03–31:30)
Doing the smallest possible thing (36:10–40:26)
Therapy, parts work & breaks (41:20–50:14)
Relapse (40:57–41:18)
TW: While talking about PMDD I briefly mention suicidal ideation. If you’re struggling or in immediate danger, please seek support—call or text 988 in the U.S., or your local emergency number.
Let us know what you think and if there’s a topic you want us to dig into next month, share that too! 🧡🍊
