15. Saviour Complex - Don’t be Bob the Builder

After a 14-year global effort, polycystic ovary syndrome — PCOS — has officially been renamed polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, or PMOS. And honestly? It's about time.The old name was misleading — it made the condition sound like it was just about ovarian cysts, when in reality it affects everything from insulin levels to mental health. No wonder up to 70% of cases go undiagnosed.In this episode we're breaking down what the name change actually means, why it matters, and what it could mean for the 1 in 8 women living with this condition.Already diagnosed with PCOS?

She also talks about the emotional work of shifting her relationship with her cycle, moving away from dread and toward a place of acceptance.This is an honest, unfiltered conversation about what it means to live in a body that doesn't always cooperate — and the quiet strength it takes to listen to it anyway.On 12th of May 2026, it was announced that PCOS was officially renamed to PMOS.
