Space to Breathe: Creating Boundaries while Living with PMDD/PME

We’ll look at why setting boundaries can feel so hard, especially during the most difficult parts of your cycle, and how to begin setting them without guilt. You’ll learn practical strategies for protecting your time, energy, and well-being, plus simple scripts to help you say what you need, when you need it.

Event Description:
Navigating the healthcare system while living with PMDD or PME can be overwhelming - especially when medical appointments leave you feeling unheard, dismissed, or unsure of your next steps.

This practical and empowering online workshop, hosted in partnership with Laura Teare-Jones, will guide you through how to prepare for your medical appointments with more clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.

We’ll explore a simple, adaptable framework you can use to:

1. Clarify your goals for the appointment.

2. Organize your symptoms and key information.

3. Prepare emotionally for difficult conversations.

4. Ask questions and advocate for your needs.

5. Reflect on what to do if things don’t go to plan.

You’ll leave with tools, prompts, and phrases you can use immediately - whether your appointment is next week or months away.

Cycle Tracking for PMDD and PME

Part 2: Cycle Tracking for PMDD - Charting for Insight, Advocacy, and Healing

"Track your cycle, understand your symptoms, and advocate for the care you deserve."

When: May 27, 2025, from 4 PM - 5:30 PM ET

Ticket Price: $20.00 + Eventbrite fees

Recommended Reading: The Cycle Book

Join IAPMD, Laura Federico, and Morgan Miller, in Part 2 of this supportive, practical workshop designed to help you decode your body’s patterns. We will explore how tracking your cycle can provide powerful insight into the hormonal shifts and emotional fluctuations that impact your well-being. We will get specific about ways to track PMDD symptoms to best evaluate your chosen treatment options and gain clarity.

You’ll learn to identify key biomarkers, understand the phases of your cycle, and discover how charting can become a tool for self-advocacy when navigating systems of care (and educating providers about your PMDD). We highlight how tracking can help pinpoint when the hormonal shift occurs which would indicate to you the start of PMDD symptoms in that cycle, giving you a longer runway to plan for support and care for your wellbeing.

Binge Eating and Hormones: What's the Connection?

We invite you to join Dr. Klump as she shares key findings from her research to help us better understand how hormonal changes may impact eating behaviors.

In this session, you'll learn:

• How fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone throughout the menstrual cycle may increase the risk of binge eating for some people.

• Why the mid-luteal phase (the time after ovulation and before your period) may be the most vulnerable point in the cycle.

• How genetics may help explain why some individuals are more affected than others.

Dr. Kelly L. Klump is an MSU Foundation Endowed Professor of Psychology at Michigan State University. Her research focuses on understanding how genetics and hormones, especially changes across the menstrual cycle, can increase the risk for eating disorders like binge eating. She uses both twin studies and animal models to explore how these biological factors impact people differently over time. Dr. Klump has published more than 300 scientific papers and leads several federally funded research projects in this area.

Learn to track your cycle to decode hormonal patterns, manage PMDD, and gain clarity on treatment and emotional well-being.

Cycle Tracking for PMDD and PME

Part 1: Unlocking Hormones, Health, and What Truly Matters
"Knowing your body is the first step to building support."

When: May 20, 2025, from 4 PM - 5:30 PM ET

Ticket Price: $20.00 + Eventbrite fees

Recommended Reading: The Cycle Book

Join IAPMD, Laura Federico, and Morgan Miller, for this two-part series!

Part 1 of this empowering workshop is designed to support you in better understanding your body. We will learn to identify hormonal phases, the role of hormones in our bodies, the systemic and historical limitations that necessitate self-advocacy, how to cycle track in an inclusive and whole-body manner, and how to use the data we gather during cycle tracking to best support ourselves.

We will explore how the hormonal cycle interacts with mood, sexuality, and emotions, and how shame, stigma, and dismissal may contribute to undue distress. We will explore practical pathways to body literacy, de-pathologize hormonal shifts, and co-create safe and affirming spaces for you to reconnect with your body on your own terms.

Living with PMDD can be incredibly challenging, not just for the individual but for their partner as well. This event, which will be co-chaired by Aaron Kinghorn (from Hope PMDD) and Chandra Skye (www.strollingskye.com) will explore the struggles faced by couples when one partner has PMDD and offer guidance on how to navigate these difficulties together.

PMDD can create significant strain in relationships, from mood swings and emotional volatility to physical symptoms that can disrupt daily life. We’ll dive into the difficulties that partners may face, including feeling helpless, confused, or unsure how to support their loved one during episodes. We’ll explore the emotional toll on both partners, the challenges of communication, and how to maintain intimacy and understanding despite the chaos.

Through real-life experiences, hearing from both a partner (Aaron) and patients (Nichole and Chandra) participants will gain practical strategies for coping with the emotional ups and downs of PMDD, strengthening their bond, and maintaining a healthy, supportive relationship.

Struggling with the emotional turbulence of PMDD? This four-week workshop series with Amy Sergeant is designed to guide you through a journey of acceptance, awareness, self-compassion, and breathwork—empowering you with practical tools to navigate your cycle with greater ease.

Each week builds upon the last, creating a holistic approach to managing PMDD with more resilience and self-kindness. Join us and take the first step toward greater emotional balance.

Sessions will be recorded and shared with those who register.

Tickets are $20 per session.

You must register for each week individually to reserve your space.

PMDD doesn't just impact your body - it deeply affects your self-perception, emotions, and mental health. Many people with PMDD experience guilt, shame, and self-blame, feeling as though they’re failing when symptoms take over.

This session will explore why PMDD affects self-worth and how to break free from the cycle of negative self-talk. Through guided reflection, we’ll attempt to reframe unhelpful thoughts and separate your identity from your symptoms.
