102 // How Becoming a Menstrual Coach Deepens Your Healing | Theresa’s PMDD Journey
In this episode of the Menstrual Cycle Mastery Podcast, Lisa meets Theresa Won Kress, a loyal listener of the podcast, to chat about her journey with PMDD and trauma-informed healing.
Theresa shares how listening to the podcast has become one of the tools she returns to throughout her cycle to help navigate PMDD symptoms and emotional fluctuations.
In this conversation, Theresa opens up about her personal healing journey and how menstrual cycle awareness has supported her work as a film producer, business owner, writer, and creative consultant.
Inspired by the impact this work has had on her life, Theresa has decided to take the next step and train as a menstrual cycle coach herself by enrolling in the upcoming 2026 cohort of the Menstrual Coach Academy.
Lisa and Theresa talk about:
The importance of trauma-informed coaching
The power of emotional processing and healing grief
The stories we tell ourselves — and how to change them
Self-care when PMDD symptoms feel overwhelming
Theresa’s journey with friendships and relationships
Becoming a mother and how PMDD began for her
Hope, recovery tips, and inspiration for others on a similar path
This episode is a powerful conversation about healing, self-understanding, and how deepening your relationship with your menstrual cycle can transform both your personal life and your work.
