Welcome back to The Monthly Truth - the conversation no one is having, but everyone needs to hear.

In this episode, we’re joined by Kitty Underhill - model, speaker, self-love siren, and body acceptance coach. Kitty speaks honestly about how PMDD has affected her relationship with her body, how it amplifies intrusive thoughts, and what it means to hold space for yourself even when your body feels like the enemy.

Together we explore the emotional rollercoaster of the luteal phase, how body image fluctuates through the cycle, and how small rituals can help you reconnect with yourself when it all feels too much.

💬 How PMDD distorts our relationship with our body

💬 Tools Kitty uses to stay grounded during the worst days

💬 The link between media, body shame, and hormonal spirals

💬 Why worth doesn’t disappear just because your body image does

This conversation is gentle, validating, and packed with practical ideas for anyone who feels like their body changes faster than they can keep up. Whether you're deep in your luteal phase or learning how to be kinder to yourself year-round, this one will meet you where you are.
