| 21 Feb 2023 | Ep 2 • Is Resistance to Rest Causing Your Period Problems? | 00:41:39 | |
Today, I wanted to talk about something frequently on my mind, that I witness in myself, loved ones, and clients: resistance to rest. In our menstrual cycle, there are times when naturally, our bodies desire to slow down, go inward & contract. These times - usually in the luteal & menstrual phases - are so important for processing emotions, trauma, limiting beliefs and highlighting where in our lives we need to take action or make adjustments. What happens when we consistently 'push through' these default times for rest and resist slowing down? What are we communicating with our bodies? Personally, and from my clinical perspective, I see this as a huge underlying factor for period pain, pre-menstrual syndrome and other symptoms of hormonal imbalance. This easily adds up to a much bigger picture of 'unwellness', when we consider that each phase of our cycle influences the next, and each cycle influences the next, and so on. It's time to break these societal patterns & make friends with slowing down, stillness and rest. Our health & hormones depend on it. GET MY HOLISTIC CYCLE TRACKING GUIDE HERE ANY THOUGHTS?

| 09 Apr 2024 | Ep 12 • How to Smooth Out A Rough Luteal Phase | Practical & Spiritual Guidance for Premenstrual Tension | 01:17:50 | |
A rambly albeit helpful exploration of (1) why the luteal phase can feel rough AF, and (2) practical AND a lil more woo-woo ways that we can support ourselves to have the a more smooth, manageable premenstrual phase. I emphasise the importance of working with these 5 categories: Nutrition, Movement, Sleep, Light, Nervous System Regulation - because if there are any imbalances here, they're likely to impact your premenstrual vibe greatly. Work on these foundations first because seeking any "cure-all" or magic fixes for your PMS struggles. The practical tips are after the 32-ish-minute mark, with lots of helpful hints & concepts woven throughout. Things I mention in this ep:

| 31 Jan 2024 | Ep 8 • Inner Teen Confession: I Believed Taking "the Pill" at 14yo was a Rite of Passage | 00:10:09 | |
A bit more of a personal share for this ep, about some "ouch" thoughts & feels that rose to the surface recently in regards to my relationship with the Pill (aka oral hormonal contraception). In a world in which we're so disconnected from our Rites of Passage as females (birth, menarche, pregnancy, menopause, death), little teenage Karinda was looking for meaning & womanly "worthiness" in a pharmaceutical drug that shut off her menstrual cycles & hormone production. How ironic that in looking to feel like more of a woman, I was shutting off the precise biology that is the source of my feminine power. In this share, I'm processing some of my grief for this past self & debunking the "logic" of putting a whole generation of girls onto synthetic hormones. "Putting a teenager on hormonal birth control for irregular periods is like taking a sledgehammer to a tiny screw" 🩸🩸🩸 It's live! Explore the CYCLE POWER BUNDLE here! FREE DOWNLOAD ↓ REACH OUT!

She's a chunky one today! I go deep into the big wide world of nutritional medicine, covering why nutrients are crucial for health, how our body relies on nutrients for hormone balance (and overall wellbeing), and how the oral contraceptive pill can cause nutritional depletions or worsen existing deficiencies. There's a lot, but I hope I managed to clarify the complexity to this topic, AND that I've offered you something to think about. Maybe you're feeling the nudge to improve your relationship with food & have a new found appreciation for nutrition! Research & Studies:
