The Cycle Codes (The PMDD Podcast)

Perimenopause, Power & Radical Self-Honesty with Kat John

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 18:00:00 GMT

This week on The Cycle Codes™ Podcast, I’m joined by the unapologetically real and wildly loved Kat John — speaker, coach, meditation teacher and woman who has been deeply honest about her perimenopause journey.

Together, we dive into:

• What perimenopause actually feels like behind the scenes

• How Kat navigates mood shifts, brain fog and anxiety while running a big brand

• The surprising moment she realised she’d hated her period for 25 years

• How she rebuilt a relationship with her cycle later in life

• The conversations that changed everything in her marriage

• Why “weaponising the cycle” destroys connection — and how to repair fast

• The sacred shift from self-judgment to self-kindness

• Navigating rage, tenderness, responsibility, and being a human woman in a messy world

Kat is one of the most grounded, authentic and emotionally honest women I've ever spoken to — and this conversation will land for ANY woman navigating cycles, relationships, or the beginnings of perimenopause.

🎧 Listen in, share it with a friend, and tag me with your takeaways.

When “You Can’t Get Pregnant” Isn’t the Full Story: Nik Toth on Fertility, Birth Trauma & Aware Parenting

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 18:00:00 GMT

In this episode of the podcast, I’m joined by Nik Toth from The Aware Family – nutrition therapist, Aware Parenting practitioner, and mum – for a raw, honest conversation about fertility, birth trauma and why our babies’ tears are not the problem.

Nik shares how she was told she had blocked fallopian tubes, a thinning egg reserve, no ovulation and a partner with almost zero sperm count… and that “not even IVF” would work. Instead of accepting that as the final truth, she leaned into her background in nutritional medicine, herbs, supplements, energy work and nervous system support – and fell pregnant six weeks later.

We also dive into her birth story in Bali – a planned home water birth that turned into an emergency C-section, NICU, meconium aspiration and the most harrowing 15 minutes of her life when she thought her baby had died and nobody in the operating theatre spoke to her in English.

From there, we talk about:

How her “colicky baby” cried 10–12 hours a day for months
The moment she discovered Aware Parenting and decided to listen instead of constantly soothing and shushing
What actually happens when a baby has a big cry in safe arms
Why suppressing feelings in babies shows up later as sleep issues, behaviour and anxiety
The link between nervous system regulation, hormones, sleep and our cycles

If you’re a cycle-aware mum, pregnant, trying to conceive, or healing a birth story – this one will land deep.

Trigger warning: We do talk about birth trauma, NICU and emergency C-section. Please listen gently.

PMDD Is Not Your Destiny: Roxanne Leigh on Self-Healing, Nervous System First, and Becoming the Expert of Your Body

Mon, 17 Nov 2025 18:00:00 GMT

This episode is a lighthouse for anyone who’s been told “there’s nothing you can do.” Roxanne shares her raw, unfiltered journey—from heavy periods at 11, years on the pill (and a frightening breast lump), anxiety, panic attacks, and two miscarriages… to finally saying “enough,” studying naturopathic nutrition, and rebuilding her health from the inside out.

We unpack:

• Why PMDD is multifactorial (and why a single pill won’t fix a systems problem)

• The missing piece: nervous system regulation as the foundation for every change

• How mineral depletion and heavy metals (HTMA), gut dysfunction, and trauma can blunt hormone signaling

• Practical supports: circadian rhythm resets, blood sugar basics, seed cycling, meal-prepping for luteal, and testing that brings clarity

• The difference between PMDD flare-ups and being a human with emotions (and why repair matters)

Roxanne now supports women worldwide with a whole-systems lens—so you can stop negotiating with your truth and start living symptom-free(ish) cycles with real tools, not guesswork. If you’ve ever felt dismissed or defeated, this one will put power back in your hands.

Life After PMDD: Healing Beyond the Label with Briana Villegas

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 18:00:00 GMT

What if PMDD isn’t a life sentence — but an invitation to know yourself more deeply?

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Brianna Viegas, PMDD coach and graduate of Lisa de Jong’s Menstrual Cycle Awareness program, to talk about what life looks like after PMDD.

We unpack:

Why “PMDD is incurable” is one of the most damaging myths out there
How to shift from managing symptoms to living symptom-free
Partnering with your body instead of trying to fix it
Navigating motherhood, relationships, and identity through the lens of cyclical awareness
The beauty of repair, regulation, and real self-trust

Brianna shares her personal evolution from survival to sovereignty — and what it really means to live in rhythm with your body beyond diagnosis.

Uncaging the Wild Woman Within — Cyclical Living, Intuition & Aliveness with Emily Bailey from Whole & Wild

Mon, 20 Oct 2025 18:00:00 GMT

In this soul-stirring episode, I’m joined by Emily from Whole & Wild, a professional coach helping women uncage their intuition and reclaim their bigness.

We dive deep into the four feminine archetypes — Maiden, Mother, Wild Woman, and Crone — and how understanding these cyclical energies can reconnect you to your body’s natural rhythm and wisdom.

Emily shares her personal story of “caging” her intuition, the moment she chose to live wild and free, and the powerful metaphor of the wolves returning to Yellowstone — a story that mirrors what happens when we reintroduce our own inner wild.

We explore:

Why women fear their edges and how to meet them with compassion
What happens when you reconnect with your intuition
The cost of staying “fine” versus choosing aliveness
The power of sacred thresholds, rites of passage, and feminine community

From Perimenopause Chaos to Post-Menopause Power with Tracy Minnoch-Nuku

Sun, 05 Oct 2025 18:00:00 GMT

Tracy Minnoch (fitness industry veteran and founder of Sexy Aging) takes us through the whirlwind from late-pregnancy at 42 to years of undiagnosed perimenopause—complete with 35 symptoms, crippling anxiety, and dysregulated cycles.

We get real about Mirena vs. the pill, why MHT/HRT isn’t a “weight-loss hack,” and the lifestyle levers that actually move the needle: sleep as medicine, stress down-shifting, protein-forward nutrition, and lifting heavy for longevity.

Tracy shares how she rebuilt confidence, career, and health—plus what she’s teaching her daughter (and son!) so the next generation is menopause-literate.

You’ll learn:

The postpartum → perimenopause overlap (and red flags to watch)
What MHT can/can’t do—and how to decide with your doctor
Why strength training beats “more cardio” in midlife
Practical sleep + stress protocols that calm the nervous system

In this episode, I’m joined by Jane Bennett, a leading voice in menstrual education and co-creator of Celebration Day for Girls. We explore:

Why early menstrual education is life-changing
How puberty starts years before bleeding
Moving past parental awkwardness to real connection

Mom Rediscovered: PMDD, Perimenopause & Quitting Wine-Mom Culture with Jen Butler

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 19:00:00 GMT

Author and coach Jen Butler joins me to talk about the wild Venn diagram of midlife: perimenopause, PMDD, motherhood, and the courage to break up with both alcohol and diet culture. Jen shares how cycle tracking helped her spot a clear mid-cycle mood crash, the conversation that led to her PMDD diagnosis, and why taking fluoxetine (Prozac) in her luteal phase lets her feel like herself all month.

We get into night sweats, brain fog, strength training by your cycle, communicating with partners and kids, and how seven years alcohol-free opened the door to deeper healing—plus her forthcoming memoir, Mom Rediscovered: My Midlife Breakup with Drinking and Diet Culture. If you’ve ever wondered whether thriving in this season is possible… this one’s for you.

We cover:

Perimenopause signs & PMDD (and what finally helped)
Luteal-phase SSRIs: what it’s like on Prozac only half the month
Fitness + strength: adjusting weights across your cycle
Quitting wine-mom culture & becoming alcohol-free
Ditching diet culture for body appreciation
Parenting through hormones: honesty, safety, and therapy

Thriving Through Matrescence: Capacity, Cycles & the Modern Village with Samantha Feast

Mon, 15 Sep 2025 19:00:00 GMT

Today we go deep on matrescence—the (often unnamed) rite of passage from maiden to mother—with maternal mentor and RN Samantha Feast (@themagicofmatrescence). We unpack what matrescence means beyond baby brain and nappies, why your brain and identity truly change, and how to work with cyclical energy (yes, even with little ones) without guilt.

We talk postpartum realities, consent and contraception pressure, PMDD threads, village vs. modern life, and the power of capacity (some days 5% is 100%). Samantha shares simple, doable supports: nervous system micro-pauses, food/sleep basics, boundaries, and resourcing—plus her Maternal Mirror Deck and the “Return to Matrescence” initiation.

If you’ve ever wondered “Am I allowed to need this much support?”—this conversation is your permission slip.

In this episode:

Matrescence 101 (and why it never really ends)
Mapping motherhood to your menstrual & lunar cycles
Capacity > perfection: redefining “doing enough”
Building your modern village (and paying for help without guilt)
Postpartum, identity, and thriving in a world not built for mothers

🎧 Listen now and share with a mama who needs to feel seen.

Perimenopause in the Trenches: Burnout, Inflammation & a Midlife Reframe with Sonja Courtis

Mon, 08 Sep 2025 19:00:00 GMT

This week I’m joined by Sonja Courtis—coach, educator, and straight-talker—who’s unfiltered about what really derails women in perimenopause and how to get your power (and pleasure) back.

We get into the messy middle: sudden cycle changes, the shock of early perimenopause, weight gain that won’t budge, sleep that tanks, and why “just push through” is failing women. Sonja unpacks the big levers most of us miss—inflammation, oxidative stress, liver + gut health, and a chronically wired nervous system—and how to create realistic, compassionate change without burning your life down.

In this episode:

Perimenopause ≠ “the end”: reframing this rite of passage
Inflammation & oxidative stress: why they matter more than you think
Nervous system regulation > more willpower
Alcohol, supplements, and what “quality over quantity” really means
Building a real village and learning to receive support
Micro-pauses, micro-pleasure, and sleep that actually restores you

If you’re feeling stretched thin, puffy, wired-but-tired, or just over it, this conversation is your permission slip to pause, recalibrate, and choose strategies that actually fit your season of life.

What happens when menopause arrives earlier than expected?

In this raw and insightful episode I sit down with Shae Elise, coach, writer, and founder of the upcoming Loba Collective, to explore the realities of early natural menopause at 44 — the grief, the identity shift, the fears, and the surprising gifts.

Together, we unpack:

What it really feels like to lose your menstrual “map” overnight
Why menopause is as much about conditioning and identity as it is about hormones
The privilege gap in navigating perimenopause and menopause
How micro-pauses and micro-pleasures can transform the journey
Why menopause is one of life’s greatest initiations

Mon, 18 Aug 2025 19:00:00 GMT

This week on The Cycle Codes I’m joined by Cathy Lemire, The Menstrual Money Coach, to explore the surprising connection between our menstrual cycles and our money habits.

We get raw about money fights, cycle-linked overspending, PMDD struggles, and how perimenopause magnifies stress if money is left unchecked. You’ll hear how Cathy turned her marriage around through money work, why your partner probably already notices your cycle patterns, and how syncing your financial decisions with your cycle phases could save your sanity (and your relationship).

We also dig into:

The link between stress, cycle symptoms, and money fights
Why financial wellness = nervous system regulation

You’re Not Lazy - You’re Luteal: Living Cyclically in a Linear World with Adriana Tantau

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 19:00:00 GMT

In a world that rewards constant hustle and output, living in tune with your menstrual cycle can feel like a radical act. But it’s not — it’s your biology.

In this episode of The Cycle Codes, Adriana Tantau shares what it truly means to live cyclically in a world that demands linear consistency.

If you’ve ever thought:

“Why do I lose momentum halfway through the month?”
“Why do I feel like burning it all down before my period?”
“Am I just lazy or broken?”

This episode is your reframe.

We dive into:

Luteal phase burnout and energy crashes before your period
The power of inner autumn and why your body says "no" to the to-do list
Why most systems weren’t built for your biology — and how to reclaim your rhythm
How to track your cycle and use it as a permission slip, not a punishment
What it looks like to align your work, rest, and relationships with your natural flow

✨ You’re not chaotic — you’re cyclical. You’re not lazy — you’re luteal.

Hormones, HRT & The Power of the Pause with Tiffanee Cook

Mon, 04 Aug 2025 08:55:30 GMT

In this raw conversation, I sit down with the powerhouse that is Tiffanee Cook—former boxer, podcaster, speaker, and self-confessed human experiment—who gets brutally honest about her journey into perimenopause, HRT, hormonal chaos, and all the emotional, mental, and physical curveballs that came with it.

We talk about what it’s really like to navigate the rollercoaster of womanhood when you're constantly told you're "fine"—but deep down, you know you're not. Tiff shares her experience with HRT, testing frustration, burnout, ADHD, identity shifts, and why hitting the pause button (hello breathwork, yin, and solo hikes) might just be the key to coming home to yourself.

We also get into:

How tracking your cycle changes everything
The reality of being a woman in a system that doesn’t test for what matters
Why the fitness industry is missing the mark for women
Emotional regulation, self-auditing, and relationship dynamics
Supplements, glucose monitors, and why B6 is not your friend
The stories we tell ourselves vs. what actually happened
And the truth about cookies, croissants, and chocolate cravings

This isn’t a “how-to” on hormones—it’s a “holy sh*t, I’m not alone” kind of conversation.

You’ll love this if you’ve ever said:

“I feel like a completely different person lately.”
“Is this burnout or is this hormonal?”
“Why didn’t anyone teach me this stuff sooner?”
“I just want to feel like me again.”
