During this episode, it was a real joy to dive into honouring the cycles of our bodies, mother earth and the phases of life we journey through. I chat with Earth Medicine Woman, Women's Health Advocate & Cyclical Guide Amanda Trieger about how these cycles can help us weave self care into daily rituals by being prepared and understanding what we need at different phases of our lives, our menstrual cycle and during each season. It was a bit of an epiphany for Amanda when she realised that tucking self care around the edges of her life wasn’t going to be sustainable. She noticed dramatic shifts when her understanding of her menstrual cycle began to drive her self-care- allowing her to plan out a month of self-care rhythms. 

As a naturopath, doula, and mentor, Amanda guides women reclaim feminine frameworks and integrate the healing power of plant medicine into their cyclical self-care rituals. Her work supports hormonal wellbeing, vaginal microbiome health, vulva care, and raising awareness of the sacred Rites of Passage that shape a woman’s journey. Through rituals, retreats, workshops, and women’s circles, she empowers women to cultivate cycle awareness—honoring the rhythms of their menstrual, lunar, seasonal, and life cycles as they transition through the menstruality timeline.

Amanda generously shares her knowledge on cyclical living during this episode and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
