Mindfulness for PMDD with Diane
Have you been wondering how you can find more peace in your life with PMDD or PME? I’m Diane and I’m a dietitian, lactation consultant, mindfulness teacher and mom, living with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder and helping other PMDD Warriors find management and acceptance of PMDD through mindfulness.
Twice a month, I’ll discuss how mindfulness and meditation can help with the debilitating symptoms of PMDD and PME (premenstrual exacerbation of an existing condition). I’ll also explore parenting, career, nutrition, starting a business–and more–through the lens of Mindfulness for PMDD, so we can find a sustainable way to live a better life with this chronic condition.
Mindfulness for PMDD with Diane
How To Live A Fuller Life With PMDD with Shamash Alidina
Message me with questions or comments!
In this episode, Shamash Alidina and I discuss:
- How living with PMDD, or other chronic illness, can lead us to pause our life while we try to heal
- And how this can lead to losing touch with ourselves and the things that bring value, meaning and purpose to our lives
Shamash and I talk about how making room for our challenges, and turning back to the things that are meaningful for us, can help us to live a richer, more purposeful life, even with PMDD.
I share how fighting less, and opening up more, actually led me to find some relief from PMDD symptoms.
Shamash is best known as the internationally bestselling author of 10 books including Mindfulness For Dummies and The Mindful Way through Stress. He also co-founded the world's first Museum of Happiness in London, and often collaborates with UK Charity, Action for Happiness.
Shamash pioneered online Mindfulness Teacher Training, launching his program Teach Mindfulness Online, and has been training practitioners in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy–or Training–also called ACT.
