Description

I’m really happy to share my conversation with Lily Silverton, the writer, columnist, speaker, coach and founder of The Priorities Method Journal on today’s episode of Period Story podcast. 


In this episode, Lily shares: 


  • The joy of getting her period back after losing it for two years as a teenager
  • Her struggle with disordered eating and depression and how a trip to an ashram helped her begin to reset her mental health
  • How she realised the power for her thoughts and that some thoughts aren’t true 
  • Her experience of painful periods and severe premenstrual depression after having her two children 
  • The transition she made from fashion and culture journalism to retraining to become a stress management and positive psychology coach 
  • Why stress isn’t inherently bad for you
  • The reframe of ‘I get to’ and ‘I choose to’ 
  • One of her coaching principles: live your life, don’t fix your life
  • And of course, the story of her first period


Lily says there's nothing wrong with wanting to improve or change, whether that's your internal self or your external self but she says we should consider how we can approach this with real compassion, so that you can work from a positive point, rather than berating yourself. 


Thank you, Lily!
