In Episode 2 of Season 4, Katie and AnnMarie are joined by Christine Lane, the founder of Mojo Matters and My Holistic Midwife. Christine is a Consultant Midwife and Nurse with specialist expertise in pregnancy, menstrual health, and menopause.

In this informative and honest conversation, Christine opens up about PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) – a severe, often misunderstood condition that affects many women and people who menstruate. Despite being life-altering, PMDD is still under-recognised and under-diagnosed. Christine shares not only her professional expertise, but also her personal experience and her passion for spreading awareness and empowering those living with PMDD to advocate for themselves.

If you've ever felt like your monthly cycle is controlling your life, or if you support someone who feels this way, this episode is for you.
