Why I "Let My Period Rule My Life" • A Response to my Mum • The Benefits of Listening to Your Cycle

Today, I’m offering you a peek behind the curtains of my life and share an interaction with my mum, where she couldn’t understand why, in her words, I “let my period rule my life.” She didn’t get my need to align my social plans with my menstrual cycle. So this podcast is essentially my answer to her, and to any of us, who have felt that our period ‘controls’ us or ruins our plans. Learn how honoring our cycle phases could help you avoid burnout and live more fully. Let’s tap into our inner 'sacred no’s' and 'sacred yes’s,' especially during our premenstrual phase, and lean into the natural ebb and flow of our bodies, for the sake of living a more full, easeful life. It’s not about being ruled by our cycles, but letting them inform our lives for embodied wellness & thriving. If you’ve ever felt societal pressures to be 'on' all the time but crave some downtime when your body calls for it, this episode is for you. Let’s explore living in harmony with our natural rhythms.
