Let's Talk Hormones & Our Cycle
Periods and hormonal cycle, something half the population have to tackle.I will confess I was pretty clueless about my monthly cycle and the changes than happen to the body throughout each month. I just knew each month I'd get a period and that was it, most probable because I was on hormonal contraceptives for close to 20 years! I chose to stop the pill due to health reasons and to try to detox my system, it was then I discovered the impact of not actually having a period and this was not a normal or healthy state to be in. After a few occasions of hypothalamic amenorrhea from over stressing my body I delved into the science of the period and my mind was blown, who knew and why was I not told about this at school?! So, today's episode I share with you my learnings along they way to get a healthy and regular cycle back. For me and my clients I started to move my body/exercise/rest around the stages of my monthly's, it was a game changer and years on I'm still on track with my clients time of their cycle and most importantly my our health. Please do check out my Instagram page for more info on my 'highlights' on this subject https://www.instagram.com/donna_healthandwellbeingpt/and also I have a free fact sheet available on the four stages; https://mailchi.mp/5e534f548316/training-alongside-your-hormonesMy episode with Yasmine Say on hypothalamic amenorrheahttps://open.spotify.com/episode/2vBXgFxVdok2C7FHaUfhVt?si=2e28bb06de7c42deConnect with me;Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/fivedaymovementwithdonnaYoutube - Move with me for Free - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSemCqJiGdZvAnkX6duGmNwWebsite - https://www.donnapavittwellnesscoach.com Find your local Mind - https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/local-minds/Support the show

Finding Gratitude with Charla Grant from the Grateful Hearts Club
Wow what an episode, I loved this conversation with Charla from the grateful hearts club and founder of the grateful arts club in Portsmouth. We spoke about the meaning of being more mindful and grateful in a chaotic and busy world. How to create our own crumbs of joy whilst living on the 'more train' of goal setting and aspiring to the next thing in life, this often prevents us from living in the moment and appreciating the small moments of joy in life. ((Trigger warning - we do discuss mental health, loss and grief, miscarriage and overcoming some of our personal journey.))Connect with Charla;Website - https://www.thegratefulheartsclub.com/let-s-talkGrateful Arts Club - https://www.instagram.com/thegratefulartsclub/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thegratefulheartsclub/Workshop information - https://calendly.com/thegratefulheartsclub/intentionsettinganddoodle?month=2022-03Motivate - https://motiv8.org.ukConnect with me;Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/donna_healthandwellbeingptFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/fivedaymovementwithdonnaYoutube - Move with me for Free - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSemCqJiGdZvAnkX6duGmNwBlog posts & more about me - https://www.donnapavittwellnesscoach.com/blog-1 Find your local Mind - https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/local-minds/Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/DonnaPT)
