About this listen
In this episode, Vanessa Spinarsky sits down with naturopathic doctor Dr. Annaleeza Caputi to talk about Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) not just as a hormonal condition, but as an experience that deeply impacts identity, relationships, and motherhood.
Together, they explore what PMDD actually is, how it differs from PMS, and why it often goes unrecognized for years.
Both Annaleeza and Vanessa share their personal experience of discovering cyclical mood changes after motherhood and bring insight into the biological and psychological treatment perspectives.
This conversation moves beyond awareness into nuance exploring the nervous system, shame, relational rupture and repair, and what it means to parent while navigating cyclical emotional vulnerability.
If you’ve ever felt like you don’t recognize yourself during certain times of the month , or wondered why your capacity seems to disappear , this episode offers language, context, and compassion.
Because your hardest days are not your identity.
