In this empowering episode, we dive deep into menstrual cycle awareness as a powerful tool for healing, self-discovery, and personal revolution. I share what menstrual cycle awareness is, why it matters, and how it can completely transform your relationship with your body and your life.

I walk you through the four phases of your menstrual cycle—menstruating, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal—explaining how each phase impacts your energy, emotions, creativity, and productivity. Through real-life examples and my own journey of reclaiming my cycle, you'll learn how to sync your life with your cycle, rather than fighting against it.

In this episode, you'll discover:

🌹 What menstrual cycle awareness is and why it's essential for your well-being

🌹 How to identify and understand the four phases of your cycle and their impact on your physical, emotional, and mental states

🌹Why honoring your cycle is a radical act of self-care and empowerment

🌹 How menstrual cycle awareness can help you reduce stress, increase energy, and build a deeper connection with yourself

🌹 My personal story of integrating menstrual cycle awareness into my life and the profound impact it has had on my healing journey

If you're tired of pushing through exhaustion, feeling disconnected from your body, or constantly battling with the ups and downs of your cycle, this episode is for you. You’ll learn how understanding your cycle can help you stop fighting against your body and start embracing its natural rhythm. Whether you're looking to reduce PMS, reconnect with your creativity, or get off the cycle of burnout, menstrual cycle awareness offers a compassionate path to balance, energy, and clarity.

Hey love, welcome to this week’s Cycle Check-In on the Healing Her Story podcast! 🌙✨

We’re in the New Moon phase—a potent time of deep rest, reflection, and renewal. If you’ve been feeling a pull inward, noticing a dip in energy or motivation, or sensing the need for a fresh start, you’re right on time.

In this episode, I share:

🌑 Why your energy might feel lower right now—and why that’s actually a good thing
🌑 The power of slowing down, visioning, and letting go of what no longer serves you
🌑 How to work with this cycle instead of fighting against it
🌑 The hidden gifts of the New Moon: new ideas, inspirations, and unexpected opportunities

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about your next steps, this episode will help you get clear, reset, and realign with your heart’s desires.

To support you in this process, I’ve created a New Moon Meditation to help you tune in and receive clarity. 🌑💫

Have you ever felt drained, overwhelmed, or just off after spending time on social media? You're not alone. In this episode of Healing Her Story, I dive deep into my personal journey of reassessing my relationship with social media and the incredible impact it's had on my creativity, mental health, and overall well-being.

We explore the research on how social media affects women's mental health—how it fuels comparison, self-doubt, and burnout—and why so many of us are feeling called to step away or redefine how we engage with it. If you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself, struggling with anxiety, or constantly caught in the cycle of doing too much, this conversation will offer you the insight and tools you need to start reclaiming your time, energy, and creativity.

In this episode, I share:

✨ How social media was affecting my nervous system, creativity, and sense of self

✨ Eye-opening studies on how social media impacts women’s mental health

✨ Signs that your relationship with social media may need to shift

✨ Practical ways to set boundaries, reduce comparison, and use social media with intention

✨ How stepping away has allowed me to deepen my healing, create more art, and feel more present in my life

If you’re ready to break free from the scroll, reconnect with your intuition, and find more balance in a world that constantly demands your attention—this episode is for you.

As we move into the waning moon phase, we are invited to slow down, release, and do less—but for many of us, that’s easier said than done. In a world that glorifies productivity, rest can feel uncomfortable, unsafe, or even impossible.

In this week’s cycle check-in, I explore why slowing down is so hard and share practical, gentle ways to begin cultivating rest in ways that feel safe and doable. I introduce The R’s—a framework to help you create more balance, break cycles of stress and burnout, and shift away from the constant pressure to do more.

Learning to honor your natural rhythms isn’t just an act of self-care—it’s an act of resistance against the patriarchal systems that disconnect us from our bodies and push us into chronic stress and depletion. This week, I guide you through ways to reclaim your rest, nourish yourself, and restore balance in a world that so often demands the opposite.

✨ Inside this episode, I share:

😴 Why slowing down can feel so hard—especially for women

😴 How The R’s can help you break the cycle of overdoing and burnout

😴 Simple, doable ways to embrace rest (even if it feels foreign or scary)

🤲🏼 A somatic yin yoga practice from one of my favorite teachers on YouTube to support your journey into deeper relaxation

Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussions of adverse childhood experiences. Please listen with care and take breaks if needed.

What happens when you grow up without the love, safety, and guidance you needed? How do you break generational cycles and show up as the parent you wish you had?

❤️‍🩹 The impact of childhood adversity on self-worth and parenting

❤️‍🩹 How to heal without shaming yourself or your past

❤️‍🩹 Practical ways to reparent yourself and cultivate self-compassion

❤️‍🩹 The role of sound healing and somatic practices in healing generational wounds

If you’ve ever felt alone in your healing journey, struggled with self-criticism, or wondered how to create a healthier, more loving relationship with yourself and those around you, this episode is for you.

As we approach the Full Moon Eclipse, life may feel extra full—new beginnings, shifting schedules, unexpected changes, and maybe even sudden endings. Eclipse energy is powerful, and with Venus in retrograde and Mercury retrograde approaching, you might be feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or emotionally heightened. You're not alone, and there is nothing wrong with you.

In this episode, I guide you through this week's Waxing Moon energy and how you can use it to receive and recalibrate instead of forcing or controlling. This is a time to tune it, reflect, and ask yourself:

✨ What small shift can I make inside myself?

✨ What simple practice can help me navigate this season?

✨ Where do I need more support?

If you're feeling the weight of life right now, this episode is here to remind you that you don’t have to do it all alone. Join me for my breathwork session on Insight Timer, "Breathwork to Receive and Recalibrate," where I’ll guide you through a gentle yet powerful practice to help you reset and realign.

Listen now and take a breath—you are exactly where you need to be.

✨ Why shaming or ignoring your inner critic doesn’t work—and what to do instead

✨ How to shift from self-judgment to self-compassion

✨ Three powerful modalities that have helped me build a healthier, more loving relationship with myself
