For too long, women have been told that their bodies are unpredictable, inconvenient, or even broken. But what if the very rhythm you live in — your menstrual cycle — was actually your greatest source of wisdom and power?
Your cycle isn’t just about your period. It’s a monthly map, a blueprint guiding you through shifts in energy, mood, creativity, and connection. When you learn to work with these natural rhythms instead of against them, life begins to feel more harmonious and less like a constant uphill battle.Do you know the four phases of your cycle? I’m going to share with you the unique gifts that each one holds!
