A couple of weeks ago I hired a business coach to help me stay on my toes with creative ventures in life coaching and e-course creating. One of the questions she asked me was, "What do you find people coming to you for most often?" I had two answers -- business-related questions (like audience appeal), and those centered on relationships.

That day I was PMSing and felt over-emotional, which brought my attention to a complication I am often faced with in my own relationship.

Vulnerability.

A word that can sometimes be haunting for me. Vulnerability isn't easy for me to achieve. In fact, more times than not I find myself living in masculine energy in my relationship with my boyfriend. It's not because he isn't manly -- it's because that is where I am most comfortable. It's where I don't have to talk about my feelings. It's where I can be distant and consume myself with work instead tuning into my bodily desires or the demands of partnership.

It is easy for me to be a cold, one-man show.

And then PMS came knocking at my door. Suddenly the conversation of being vulnerable was no longer avoidable.

I was crying often, I was extra sensitive and yes, sometimes bitchy. But at the peak of these emotions there was great vulnerability -- the soft side of myself that, so often, I forget to let out. Being vulnerable allows me to be honest with myself. With what I want, what's not working, what I feel is standing in my way and above all else, being vulnerable allows me to get clear about my desires. In ALL of my relationships.

So sisters, with that said, today -- PMS is my friend. It showed me that there is more available for me when I soften my heart, my thoughts and my words.

The best part is, every month, I am guaranteed a spot -- front row, center -- to the global women’s condition that is PMS. When I am in this seat, I am forced to be honest with myself, in my relationships, in my businesses, and more.

This is the part of PMS I wish I could keep all year long.

After all, the truth will set us free.
