It can be easy to think of God just up there in Heaven waving a finger at us, saying "you should have this figured out by now" or "can you just pull up your bootstraps already?" But yet God is gracious and compassionate in the midst of our "figuring out", pain and suffering. Even when we're living in deliberate sin, he's still waiting on us and wants to restore us.

In this episode, I'm sharing 4 passages that point to just this. God wants to heal, wants to restore, wants to rescue. He cares that you're brokenhearted, that you're struggling with debilitating anxiety or depression again this premenstrual phase, that you're discouraged about your health and wellness journey.

Have a listen and may you encounter the God who heals and rescues.

Happy New Year! And Happy 1st year to the podcast on December 18th! Crazy how times goes by!

I'm so thankful for each and every one of you who has supported and listened to this podcast! My hope and prayer is that it has blessed, helped and encouraged you on your journey through PMS, PMDD, mood swings and hormonal imbalances.

For this first episode of 2025, I wanted to share 2 things I ditched/ removed/ changed in 2024 and what I'm hoping to add or change for the upcoming year to support my endocrine and reproductive system. It's always encouraging to look back and see what small (or big) changes you made and celebrate them, and then make more goals for what's coming up!

So have a listen, and I'd encourage you to spend a few minutes reflecting on some of your big or small emotional regulation or hormonal balancing changes you've made!

It's that time of year! We're celebrating Christ the newborn King and the start of a new year, which means your calendar might be full of social engagements, parties, family time, meltdowns, overstimulation and overwhelm.

It's joyful and celebratory, but it can still be a lot. If we're not aware and mindful of how we're doing, we can quickly start feeling dysregulated.

In this episode I'm sharing 5 tips for helping to calm your nervous system when you're with family, friends and kids. These aren't hour long activities that you won't have time for. These are tools you can tack on to the normal and daily things you're already doing.

So have a listen and try implementing one of these strategies today!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

We all know the classic passage about love in 1 Corinthians. But when you read it, does it instill in you? Guilt, freedom, condemnation? When we're dealing with PMS or PMDD symptoms, and we clearly see we aren't kind or patient, and we're actually just downright rude and self-seeking, how do we allow the gospel to move in us that turns us away from self-serving to self-sacrifice?

This is the last of the Advent series, as Christmas is just a few days away. This episode brings both love and Christ together, because we can't love, we can't be gracious or kind until we allow the true and radical love of God to transform us.

Blessings,

Lauren

Joy: it goes beyond just being happy and smiling all the time. Joy in Jesus is so much different than just being happy all the time, and it's even more pertinent when we're suffering, struggling or desiring something that just hasn't happened yet. However, how do we move beyond mood swings and how we're feeling in our premenstrual phase and truly root our strength in the joy of what Jesus has done for us and the promises God speaks over us? I know for my own self, this is an area God is continually refining me in. It requires humility and trusting in God's goodness, and not just in how I feel.

So come have a listen to this third week of advent, and be invited to pursue a joy that's deep deep down, beyond fickle emotions and thoughts, but rather deeply grounded in the truth of who God is.

We're onto our second week of Advent, and this week we're talking about peace. We've all heard peace thrown around by people: find your inner peace.. look within yourself to be calm. Lots of worldly advice that doesn't actually help. Instead, we need to find our peace from outside of ourselves, in God, the one who created us. So, if you've been asking questions like: What if I don't have enough _____________ ? And everything goes wrong? And we won't be all right? What if tragedy hits? These can be paralyzing if we don't know who to give them to.

Have a listen and I pray this episode blesses you and points you to the Prince of Peace.

Are despair and hopelessness speaking a bit too loud these days? Are you finding it difficult to trust in Jesus and his promises amidst premenstrual anxiety and fear? Well, Christmas is coming, and that means Advent is here! If you don't know much about Advent, it simply means 'coming': Jesus is coming. He's still safely tucked in Mary's belly. She's probably getting more and more uncomfortable, and both nervously and excitedly wanting to meet her baby.

You're invited to practice hope this week, to remember where your TRUE hope lies. The world will offer us counterfeit hope, which is like putting a bandaid on a gushing wound. I invite you to step away from the loud, despairing voices and come away with Jesus for a moment, who wants to remind you of the living hope we have in him!

Welcome back to PMS Made Peaceful! This week, I chatted with Bekah Yawn, the fertility awareness guru and boy, was it a great conversation!

Here's a bit about Bekah: I am a daughter of God, a wife, and a mother of three children here on earth and three in heaven. After enduring multiple miscarriages and searching for answers, God revealed the importance of understanding and supporting my cycle naturally. Grateful for this guidance, I discovered lifestyle tweaks and disciplines that made a healthy pregnancy possible. As a FIAT FEMM Coach, I have helped dozens of women and couples nationwide. Now, I'm excited to share the details through my podcast "For the Love of Hormones" as well as a in my Fertility Framework course.

If you've been struggling to conceive and you're wondering where to go from here, have a listen to this episode AND go check out Bekah's podcast: For The Love Of Hormones. Bekah has such a heart for this kind of work, and I know you'll be encouraged by what she has to say.

I pray this episode really blesses you!
