  • What You Need to Know About Perimenopause
    Mar 29 2023

    For my listeners who have been in their menstrual years for quite some time... this one's for you. Perimenopause is a-comin', and it may not be as far off as you think. In fact, symptoms can start as early as your late 30s (though it's more likely to happen in your mid-40s), which is why I want to share what to expect when you're expecting menopause. We weren't educated about our periods before we got them, so I want to make sure you're armed with the right knowledge and tools before this next phase of your reproductive life.

    We talk about:

    • The wide-ranging symptoms of perimenopause, like hot flashes, mood swings, and decreased libido.
    • The hormonal impact on your anatomy, including changes to the vulva, cervix, uterus, and ovaries.
    • Why it's so important to manage stress in perimenopause (beyond the usual reasons).
    • Body composition changes like bone density and muscle loss.
    • Viewing menopause as an opportunity, instead of a sentence.

  • The Menstrual Phases as Tarot Archetypes
    Feb 1 2023

    My favorite part about cycle syncing is that you can find so many areas of your life and interests to apply it to. Tarot is a tool for self-reflection and self-awareness, and in this episode, we explore how you can align with your cycle by embodying different archetypes found in the cards. I provide specific examples of archetypes from the major and minor arcana that mirror the energy of each cycle phase, to give context to what's going on mentally and physically in the body and help you organize your self-care around your cycle.

  • How Capitalism Impacts Your Period
    Jan 25 2023

    Capitalism requires us to work like machines, producing the same level of output day after day. Humans just can't work like that, especially those of us with menstrual cycles whose energy, focus, creativity, and more shift from one phase to the next. This week's episode explores how this patriarchal structure of working and living can have an impact on your period and your cycle health.
