How to Survive Your Luteal Phase (PMS, Hormones & Mood Swings)

This week dives into the luteal phase (PMS) - what’s actually happening hormonally, why your mood drops, and how to cope without doing a crime.

We cover:

what the luteal phase actually is
why you feel more sensitive, irritable, and withdrawn
whether it’s hormones… or your life being out of alignment
practical ways to support your mood (from Instagram, obviously)
and a slightly chaotic Guru & Granny segment involving vegans and king prawns
