Katy Ewen: OCD Is A Shapeshifter

You’re in for a real treat - on this week’s episode of Period Story, I’m so pleased to share my conversation with Katy Ewen, a reflexologist and fertility awareness educator. Katy so honestly shares her story of the effects her menstrual cycle has had on her mental health, navigating OCD and PMDD and what this means for her in the luteal phase.


In this episode, Katy shares:

  • How she first became aware of anxiety and OCD symptoms at five years old
  • The effect hormonal changes have on her OCD and PMDD symptoms
  • The impact eating more and making positive nutrition changes has had on her mental health and experience of the luteal phase
  • How exposure response prevention therapy has been a game changer for her
  • Her work as a reflexologist and the benefit of this therapy for menstrual health
  • And of course, the story of her first period!


Katy says that understanding her menstrual cycle has given her so much insight into how to look after herself!


Thank you, Katy!
