The Hook Up · What It’s Like To Have PMDD w/ Emma Hardy · 6 May 2026 podcast

Especially in, I think you were saying this before, a nine to five kind of workplace that's not actually structured to the ways that women's bodies are made or that our hormonal cycle actually functions.

So I think...

I wasn't looking for a neat answer.

I was kind of looking to figure out what story shaped the ways that I saw myself, that I saw my body and that I saw work.

Does that make sense to you?

I just wonder, like, when should you push through?

But also like at home, the things that I was getting really angry about and that I needed to, though this phrase is so helpful, but it really pissed me off of like sitting with discomfort.

I had to practice sitting with discomfort.

And I was like, how many women just sit with discomfort all the goddamn time?

And here I am, and this is what's supposed to make me better is sitting with discomfort.

It made me so angry.

And then I had to sit with that discomfort.

But it would be like my partner would not do the dishes or he would do them badly or he would practice some kind of very normative male incompetence or laziness, really.

And I would be so angry about it.

And I think that anger is kind of justified.

But at the same time, I didn't really want to blow up the whole relationship over, I don't know, him still being house trained.

Okay, so this is kind of the... I ended up kind of structuring the book around this a little bit, which is I had that tension that we just spoke about, about not really understanding if this was true and that I had this as an illness or if I was just diagnosed by some man who was giving me a modern form of a hysterical diagnosis.

And so I really wanted to understand how...

hormones were actually affecting my body.

So I kind of went through a three stage treatment plan.
