It's a hormone that you need access to to carry a successful pregnancy.

It is such an important hormone for regulating your cycle.

So some women have really long cycles or really horrible, painful cycles.

This is usually an indication.

It could be something else, but it's worth looking into if it's your hormones.

And so I think as a woman, what I would say the very first step is to start tracking your cycle and anything you notice with that, just jot it down, voice note it if you have to.

Not everybody likes to bust out a pen and paper these days.

You can handwrite it, great.

If not, but start noticing any trends because what I will say is that men have a predictable hormonal cycle and so do women.

They're very different.

Yeah.

But it's actually quite predictable if you pay attention.

You just got to pay attention.

You just got to pay attention.

And if you're not paying attention, it can get really difficult.

It can get really difficult for you and it can get really difficult for your significant other.

Because men want to help out and they want to fix things, but they have no idea how volatile it can be being a woman.

So they don't understand how to show up for you unless you can...

explain this and luckily there's some science now showing like what women are kind of going through and like what these hormones do to our brains and the way that we show up differently and how you can be supportive but still feel like this is not talked about enough yeah so in a nutshell for you guys don't bring up anything hard or like the thing to talk about a week before her period it's the worst time to do that so don't just shut up yeah just basically shut up and do more

Like show up for her.
