It's time to talk about PERIODS! Every woman will have one at some point in her life, but it's still something we feel ashamed to talk about and that STOPS today! 

In this episode, holistic health coach Alyssa Durham talks about healing hormonal imbalance, the different phases of our cycles and ways to sync with your menstrual cycle so you can live fully in-flow. Alyssa shares some witchy rituals you can do with your "moon blood," shares her PCOS struggle and gives ideas on cultivating self-love by connecting with your womb. 

 Alyssa is the owner and founder of Beautiful and Courageous LLC, her health coaching practice. Alyssa's purpose on this planet is to help women overcome trauma, own their worth, and make sustainable change through holistic self -love! She graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) November 2020, where she studied a variety of dietary theories and coaching methods. She specializes in holistic techniques to self-heal, navigate trauma, and restore female hormonal balance.
