To kick off this second episode in the Women’s Seasons & Cycles series we are discussing the importance of rest, hibernation and retreating (our winter cycle).

In this episode I chat with @nikkimccahon, a matrescence educator, about:

The importance of rest, particularly at certain phases in our cycle
The wisdom in honouring and understanding what your body needs
Why being “on” all the time is not good for our health
The problem with saying “yes” when you really mean “no”
How rest and honouring your needs is not valued in our current society
Why communicating your needs is key
The importance of role-modelling self care to our children
