Welcome to Day 1!!!!

02/23/2023

The root cause of most menstrual health challenges come from the dis-ease created by living out of alignment with our natural, cyclical rhythm. 
Cyclical living is at its essence living our lives in alignment with the natural cycles within and around us.

It’s a lifestyle, a way of moving through the world, a daily practice, a guiding force.  
There's nothing more natural. 
We are surrounded by cycles - the seasons, lunar cycle and lifecycle - but for today's post we're going to be exploring cyclical living through the lens of the menstrual cycle.  
Despite having inhabited them our whole lives, our bodies can often feel very foreign to us.
This is especially true if you're a person with a period, because our hormones and body are constantly changing, which is okay...in fact it's completely normal, but in today's modern and linear world there's little support or acknowledgment of this reality.  
We're expected to just ignore it all and carry on. Which results in us being disconnected from our natural rhythm, from our bodies and from ourselves.  
It’s this disconnect that leads to us feel disoriented and frustrated daily.  
It's this disconnect that creates dis-ease within us.  
And it's this dis-ease that leads to so many of the symptoms and challenges we experience as people with periods - PMS, cramps, mood swings and menstrual health related conditions such as PCOS and PMDD. 
As cyclical beings in a linear world, understanding and reconnecting with our menstrual cycles is the key to healing our period problems, finally feeling at peace in our bodies.

Cyclical living isn't about doing more. 
It's about being. Being more true to yourself.  
It's not about making big, sweeping changes to your life.

It's a million little moments when you include your female reality in the choices you make everyday.  
And we can begin anytime.

By becoming curious about your cycle, taking time to learn about it, and choosing what areas of your life you want to start making room for your female reality in. 
One of the best ways to start is syncing the foods you cook/eat with your menstrual cycle.  
March 7-9th I’m hosting a free 3-part mini series showing you how (link in bio)

“One of the great challenges for modern humanity is to learn how to slow down.”

Slowing down didn’t come naturally to me.

I’d always been a mover, a dancer, a busy body, an overachiever and over committer.

I’d always felt like there’s never enough time in the day to get “it” all done.

Rushing here and there, eating on the go, always trying to squeeze in one last thing before bed…

Only “resting” when my body would body bring me to a complete halt.

Debilitating period pain, sinus infections the would drag on for weeks, fatigue so heavy I would sleep my Saturday’s away.

It wasn’t until discovering Menstrual Cycle Awareness that I truly came to understand - and accept - that not only was it okay to slow down, but in fact essential.

The pace I was living at wasn’t sustainable.

My body was literally screaming at me month, after month, after month and yet I ignored it, silenced it with pain killers and just pushed on through to the next thing like a freight train with no brakes.

It was Menstrual Cycle Awareness helped me finally realize something had to change.

And for that I am forever grateful.

Slowing down is something that I value deeply now, it’s a non-negotiable, and my favorite form of self-nourishment.
But that doesn’t mean it’s always easy.

It’s a daily practice for me, and what that practice looks like changes day-to-day depending where I’m at in my cycle, what season we’re in and what the moon is in her monthly cycle.

Today, it looked like taking a few minutes on my morning walk with my pup to stop, close my eyes and just feel the sun on my face.

Simple, natural, and oh so delightful!

What’s your favorite way to slow down?

Not in Palm Springs, but enjoying a delicious cup of ‘Secret Garden’ tea in sunny Ballard…the most beautiful, spring like bouquet all tied up in a little sachet.

Such lovely way to bring a little warmth as well as the subtly shifting seasons into my daily routine…and bonus, rose helps reduce inflammation, great for these days before my period 🌸

A sprinkling of spring…

Our inner spring (aka the week or so after your period) is a great time to add green & “young foods” to your meals, my go to? Pea shoot micro greens 🌱

Fun fact: the rise in estrogen we experience around this time in our cycle makes it a wonderful time for exploring new ideas & places…whether in person or at the breakfast table.

What the heck is a cycle crossover day?

11/24/2022

3 ways I’ll be keeping my holiday co-host stress at bay and hormones happy tomorrow…

🍁 2-mins to myself first thing in the morning (1-minute of quiet to ground before the day begins plus 1-minute to check in with myself and my cycle on my cycle chart)

🍁 A few of my go to blood sugar balancing hacks (not skipping breakfast, ACV tonic 10-mins before eating plus a nice walk in nature …ideally while other people do the dishes 😊)

🍁 Stretching throughout the day…and the kitchen 🙆🏽‍♀️

🍁 Being present in conversations with loved ones (near and far) ❤️❤️

🍁 Throughly enjoying a big slice of pumpkin pie (in the oven as I write 🥧) and festive mug of mulled wine (because at the end of the day, it’s all about balance)!!!

What helps you stay balanced during the holidays?

So freaking grateful!

When I started while training as a certified menstrual health coach & educator I honestly had no plan for what I wanted to create.

I was following my intuition when it came to my career for the first time in my life.

All I knew was I was on a mission to get out there and change the world one period at a time.

Since then I’ve had the privilege and honor of supporting the most amazing humans on their cycle journeys through 1:1 menstrual mentorship plus teaching workshops/retreats on and offline and loving every minute of it!

Yesterday I was setting up to teach a cyclical cooking workshop at .seattle and took a mindful minute to soak it all in.

The exciting opportunity to be a partner teacher, beautiful space I was in and amazing women I’d be sharing the afternoon with.

A wave a gratitude washed over me and I knew in that moment that even though I didn’t have a clear picture in my mind when I began my work as a menstrual mentor, taking a feminine approach to creating my business (following my instincts & joy) has led to exactly where I’m supposed to be.

As the workshop wrapped up and each woman shared what they were taking with them from our time together - a deeper sense of self, new ways to connect with their cycle, feelings of validation and empowerment and energized from an afternoon surrounded by other women and all the beautiful feminine energy - I felt then and there I’m truly living my mission.

Headed into thanksgiving and the season of gratitude I just wanted to take a moment and share mine for all of you here in this community.

You are all the biggest part of everything I do and I’m so thankful for your support, encouragement, inspiration, collaboration and willingness to talk period talk all day long with me!

So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you 🙏

I hope this week you’ll take a minute and still with the things you’re grateful for, let them wash over you and celebrate them, before digging into a delicious piece of pumpkin pie perhaps 🥰

Taking a Period Pause 🩸❤️

A little extra rest when we’re on our period can go a long way…while we’re bleeding, but also the ripple effects can be felt throughout the rest of our cycle 💫

One of my personal period self-care practices is to take a few days away from social media and opt for a little more rest instead.

But don’t worry, I’ve left lots for you to explore while I’m away, check out the links in my bio!

How do you hit pause?

Is your menstrual cycle a haunted house?

For most women I mentor, when we start working together they view and experience their menstrual cycle a lot like a haunted house.

1. Shrouded in mystery
2. Full of unwanted surprises
3. Easy to get lost in

And it’s no wonder.

Most of us were taught to fear, hide and feel ashamed of our periods...but little else.

So of course they’re mysterious and a bit spooky and scary some times, especially when they catch us off guard.

Add to that the pace of our modern world and way we live our day-to-day lives is often in direct opposition to our natural, cyclical rhythm as people with periods. Causing dis-ease in our bodies, minds and spirits.

Dis-ease that leads to so many of the periods problems and PMS symptoms that are common today (but common doesn’t mean normal AND we don’t have to settle for suffering).

So many of the women I work come to me in a state of utter frustration. Overwhelmed by all the information out there and feeling like they’ve tried everything or been told time and time again that “everything looks normal” even though they know it’s not.

They feel lost in the labyrinth of their cycle, returning again and again each and every month to the same, symptom filled starting point.

But here’s the thing, and the good news!

It doesn’t have to be this way.

You can transform the way you see and experience your menstrual cycle with Menstrual Cycle Awareness (MCA).

I’ve experienced the transformation first hand and see it time and time again with the women I mentor…learning and incorporating MCA into your daily life will take your haunted house cycle and turn it into a cozy cottage by helping you:

1. Turns on the lights, AKA create awareness so you can see what you’re working with
2. Make a map, figure out where all those creepy clowns are hiding so you can be prepared…or better yet avoid them!
3. Do some redecorating. Once you know what you’re working with, this is where the fun begins!

Ready to take the first step towards transforming your cycle experience?

That’s exactly what I’ll help you do in next week at my free workshop:

Chart Your Cycle. Change Your Life.

It’s time to set the record straight. If you’re like me, you’ve probably come to believe some things about your period that are just plain untrue.

In her book, In the Flo (one of my favorite books on menstrual health) , Alisa Vitti summarizes the most common (and harmful) period myths.

The short version?

PMS IS NOT NORMAL.

Common? 100% AND something I personally experienced for 20+ without ever questioning it…just suffering through like most of us do…BUT, this simple truth has been life changing for me and after making some small but mighty changes I’ve seen beautiful results both for myself and the amazing women I work with as a menstrual cycle coach…but that’s another story for another day.

Back to the myths. We as women are most often told or have learned to tell ourselves:

Myth 1: PMS is just part of having a period.

The truth in a nutshell: IT’S NOT. PMS symptoms only arise when there is a cycle imbalance. Further, this myth is harmful because it forces you to suffer unnecessarily and prevents you from knowing to look for solutions. Most PMS symptoms can be erased when we live in tune with our cycle, eating the right food and nurturing ourselves.

Myth 2: Cramps are unavoidable

The truth in a nutshell: THEY’RE NOT. You don’t have to suffer from cramps. Did you know your body creates two types of hormones that counteract cramps? When you consume the right foods for your cycle you provide the building blocks your body needs to promote the production of these natural painkillers.

Myth 3: If you have a bad period there’s not much you can do

The truth in a nutshell: FALSE. When you’re sick, do you take action to promote faster healing? Of course. The fact that when we’re having period-related symptoms we tend to ignore them (and the root cause) is just, well, insane really when you think about it from this perspective…which to be honest I never had. The reality is you can do something, you can take action, change your hormonal reality and have a better period. You deserve it 💕

Today’s Cyclical Astrology Report

Current transits: My period is conjunct the Capricorn Super Full Moon 🌕…have been up since 3:30am with all the ideas flowing. This happens to me a day or two before I bleed usually and before the full moon. Feeling like it’s gonna be a wild, powerful weekend ahead.

I absolutely love when my period syncs up with the full moon, which for me happens about every 4 months. It’s a super intuitive and energetic experience, I feeling a buzzing, or maybe a better way to put it is I feel the deep connectedness between myself and the constant, ever changing rythm of nature as if it’s coursing through my veins…which of course it is!

I find that words and energy flow freely throughout me and enjoy riding this energetic wave. It also means I typically don’t sleep after 3am for a few nights, but sometimes you just have to go with the flow instead of fight it.

Do you know where your cycle is in relation to the moon today? I’d love to know what your experience is! Drop a few words below 😊 👇

If you’re not sure where you’re at in your cycle or what that means in relation to what the moon is doing? I’m here for you! DM me and I’ll help you figure it out for free, because I love 🤓 out on this stuff!
