My guest on today’s episode is Tamara Driessen. Tamara is a tarot reader, intuitive guide, author of Luna and The Crystal Code and host of the podcast Another Phase.

In this episode, Tamara shares:

• What it meant to be diagnosed with PCOS and anovulatory infertility
• Her experience coming off the pill and reconnecting with her menstrual cycle
• Some of the habits she incorporated to kickstart ovulation and regular menstrual cycles
• How to reconnect with your intuition
• Why it’s important to slow down to be able to speed up
• The real deal on manifestation and why it’s so important to find peace in your here and now
• And of course, the story of her first period

Tamara says that comparison is such a trickster because it really disconnects us from ourselves. But when we accept ourselves exactly as we are or accept what we need in the moment, there's just so much power in that. Then the next breadcrumb appears, the next dot connects rather than us trying to chase something else that actually isn't meant for us in this moment.

Thank you, Tamara!

My guest on today’s episode is Latoya Busumbru, a fibroids and women’s health campaigner and advocate.

In this episode, Latoya shares:

• How fainting and vomiting during her period led her to realise that her menstrual experience was very different to that of her friends
• Why it took her over 4 years to receive a fibroid diagnosis
• The symptoms that led her doctor to take her concerns seriously
• Her negative experience of the copper coil
• The changes she made to reduce the painful periods and manage the growth of the remaining fibroids
• What inspired her to start Womb Bae
• The campaigning work she’s doing in Ghana to help reduce period poverty
• And of course, the story of her first period

Latoya says you shouldn’t shy away from advocating for yourself. She says it’s so important to do your research so that you get the support you need.

Thank you, Latoya!
