BECKY HOLMES
Becky’s mission is to help small business owners gain the skills and confidence to rock being on and using video in their business. However, in this episode, Becky talks about her condition called Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), something 1/20 women suffer from, where every month she becomes quite ill. She talks about how even though she is a high achiever, she has learned to slow down and accept what she needs to do to support herself through her illness each month. She shares how her brain reacts differently to the fluctuation of hormones. It is sometimes mistaken as Bipolar disorder but the difference is that although Becky gets lowness/ apathy and a level of dysphoria and then suddenly feels she wakes up to the world. The lowness is for a period of 4 days, much shorter than bipolar, and is in conjunction with her cycles. She talks about how she has to rest and replenish herself each month so she can be the best version of herself.
KEY LEARNS
“My mind is very neat. Very neat, literally four days. And I’m a scientist and I find it crazy that my body will just turn off for four days and then as bright as a button four days later, it’s right back again.. “
“Accepting the things that having these timeframes of feelings of worth give me, they are a gift, because I’m a much more empathetic person. I’m much more understanding of what other people are going through means it has given me gifts as well. I would be a different person if I didn’t have it. So it’s accepting that as well. Instead of putting it like there’s one Becky and that horrible bit about Becky. No, it is all me, and to embrace that”
