I'm Not Crazy, I'm just Hormonal! Understanding the relationship with Menstrual Cycle and Mental Health.
Have you ever wondered why your mood, energy, focus, and stress levels seem to change throughout the month? Your menstrual cycle affects far more than your period—it influences your brain, emotions, sleep, motivation, and overall well-being.
In this educational workshop, we'll break down the four phases of the menstrual cycle and explore how fluctuations in hormones such as estrogen and progesterone can impact mental health, mood, energy, anxiety, irritability, and emotional resilience. Participants will gain a better understanding of what is happening in their bodies throughout the month and learn practical strategies for working with—not against—their cycle.
Whether you experience noticeable cycle-related mood changes or simply want to better understand your body, this workshop offers accessible, evidence-based information in a supportive and judgment-free environment.
Participants will learn:
The four phases of the menstrual cycle and what occurs during each phase
How estrogen and progesterone influence the brain and mental health
Common emotional and psychological experiences throughout the cycle
The difference between typical cycle-related changes and conditions such as PMS and PMDD
Practical tools for tracking symptoms, supporting emotional wellness, and improving self-awareness
This workshop is designed for anyone who menstruates, as well as partners, family members, and professionals seeking a deeper understanding of the connection between hormones and mental health.
