“No, I’m not being dramatic, she literally has. A friend loaned me her copy of Period Power last year saying the same thing, and reading it caused a major shift in how I viewed my cycle. For so long I just put my behaviours at different times of the month down to forces beyond my control - and it was so helpful that Maisie put a name to these and helped me know when a storm was coming (shoutout to Autumn!). I have also struggled with my mental health but have now come to realise it mostly flares up before my period in an extreme way and that I may have PMDD. I recommend reading both Period Power and this podcast, with episode 2 a particularly stand-out episode for helping you come to terms with loving your cycle, which I resented for so long. Thank you, Maisie - I look forward to hearing more!”
