Is fixing your menstrual cycle stressing you out? Perhaps you suffer with endometriosis, period pain, mood swings, anxiety, PMDD, or chronic pain and symptoms?

Perhaps you have been endlessly researching, trying to understand it all, trying different things... but the whole journey is stressful, confusing, and overwhelming.

In this episode, Lisa shares with you how you can stay on track with your healing journey without always feeling stuck and stressed.

We talk about:

1. Why the dominant healing model keeps us in fight-or-flight mode
2. How “fixing” your body can become another form of stress
3. What happens when letting go doesn’t feel safe
4. The menstrual cycle as a blueprint, not a problem to manage
5. How symptoms often carry identity, meaning, and protection
6. What it means to soften, listen, and relate differently to your body
7. Rewriting internal blueprints through nervous system safety and curiosity

This is a conversation about healing that doesn’t rely on effort, optimisation, or urgency , but instead invites a deeper relationship with yourself and your body.

This conversation is for anyone with period pain, PMS, chronic pain, trauma, PMDD, endometriosis, fibroids, etc.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted by healing itself, this episode is for you 💜
