    PMS Symptoms Explained—And How to Feel Better

    What Is PMS and How Can You Fix It? If you’ve ever felt like your mood, motivation, or energy completely changes before your period, you’re not imagining it. Nearly 90% of women experience PMS, yet most of us are told it’s just “part of being a woman.” The truth? PMS is not random, and it’s not in your head, it’s your hormones and your brain working together in ways we were never taught. In this episode, we’re unpacking what’s really going on in the luteal phase, why some of us experience intense symptoms while others don’t, and the science behind how your hormones impact your brain, emotions, and even your relationships. Guest Spotlight: Dr. Sarah E. Hill is an award-winning research psychologist with over 100 scientific publications and two books to her name, including her newest release, The Period Brain. Her groundbreaking research has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Scientific American, and The Economist, and she’s been a guest on Good Morning America, The Today Show, and Diary of a CEO. Dr. Hill is one of the leading voices in women’s hormone research, translating the science of our biology into practical tools for living, leading, and thriving.

    Period Pain or Something Bigger? Let's Talk Endometriosis

    In this episode of the Ask Lively Podcast, we’re diving into one of the most misunderstood and underdiagnosed conditions in women’s health — endometriosis. It affects 1 in 10 women, yet most spend 7–10 years searching for answers. We talk about why that is, how to recognize the signs, and what real healing and advocacy can look like. Painful periods aren’t “just part of being a woman.” Sometimes, they’re your body’s way of telling you something deeper is going on. Guest Spotlight: Dr. Sara Reardon is a board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist with over 18 years of experience. She’s the founder of The V-Hive, an online pelvic floor workout app designed to support women through pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, painful sex, and pelvic floor strengthening. Known as The Vagina Whisperer on social media, she’s also the author of the national bestselling book FLOORED: A Woman’s Guide to Pelvic Floor Health at Every Age and Stage. In this episode she unpacks what endometriosis really is, why it’s so often dismissed, and how to support your body — physically, emotionally, and holistically — when you’re living with chronic pain.
