About this episode

The episode features a conversation with Ashley Hudson about the impacts of shame and purity culture on women experiencing PMDD.

This was such a great conversation with Ashley, as we delved deep into shame, purity culture and the message so many of us are believing based on how our brain operates. I really feel this chat is so relevant to us ladies who struggle with the incessant voices of shame, condemnation and guilt in the luteal phase- particularly when it comes to shame around sexual sin or your past. I hope this episode encourages you!
