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

This week, we’re joined by Kasi Reid - founder of Flo and Thrive, menstrual cycle mentor, single mum, and PMDD thriver. Kasi’s story is raw, powerful and full of wisdom - from the black cloud of her worst PMDD days to the self-compassion and strategy that helped her take her life back.

We talk about what it means to truly live cyclically, why understanding your own cycle can be a game-changer, and how parenting with PMDD requires honesty, resilience, and a lot of grace.

This one's all about:

💬 Why cycle tracking changed everything for Kasi

💬 What it’s like parenting through PMDD – and how she talks about it with her son

💬 The daily rituals that helped her survive the darkest moments

💬 How Flo and Thrive is helping women everywhere reclaim their bodies and their power

This episode is empowering and full of tiny wins worth celebrating. Whether you're living with PMDD or just want to feel more connected to your cycle, Kasi brings practical tools, real talk, and serious inspiration.
