In this heartfelt solo episode, Jess records from her car on a sunny summer day to share 6 rituals she's leaning into during her pre-period week (aka late luteal phase) for an even better menstrual cycle!
She also gives an exciting behind-the-scenes update on her upcoming SYC Membership, designed to help women align with their cyclical bodies & step into their 2.0 selves.
Jess breaks down the mindset shifts, nutritional tweaks, and nervous system practices that help make her PMS and periods surprisingly pleasant — plus how to embrace your body’s cyclical wisdom instead of fighting it.
Jess talks:
— Why PMS symptoms like rage, extreme bloating & crippling cramps aren’t “normal,” even if common — and how to shift that belief
— 6 rituals (nutrition, mindset, body & movement) that can reduce PMS symptoms & improve periods
— Why connecting with your emotions (vs pushing past them) is a critical component of having an easier period
— Favorite brands she’s been loving
