Welcome to another enlightening episode of my podcast! Today, we're delving into a topic that is both ancient and profoundly relevant to our daily lives: menstruation. Our guest is the wonderful Eleonora Cosner, who brings a unique perspective shaped by her rich heritage and upbringing in the picturesque and historically rich regions of south-eastern Tuscany. Eleonora grew up at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by medieval villages, expansive countryside, and wild woods – a place that has seen the convergence of Neanderthals, Sapiens, Etruscans, and Romans.

In this episode, Eleonora will guide us through understanding the menstrual cycle by syncing it with the moon cycle, the seasons, and our own menstrual and ovulatory phases. We'll explore how to best support our bodies and minds in each of the four phases, aligning our way of life with the natural rhythms that influence us.

To learn more about Eleonora and her work, you can follow her on Instagram at @eleonoracosner_ and visit her website at eleonoracosner.com.

In dieser Episode spricht Svenja Brunckhorst über ihre bewegende Reise zur Qualifikation für die Olympischen Spiele im 5vs5- und 3x3-Basketball mit Deutschland. Sie teilt ehrlich die emotionalen Höhen und Tiefen, von totaler Erschöpfung und mentalen Herausforderungen bis hin zu Momenten voller Erleichterung und purem Stolz.

Svenja und Lena diskutieren auch das Thema "People Pleasing" und die Schwierigkeit, allen gerecht zu werden. Sie beleuchten, wie schwer es sein kann, Grenzen zu setzen und Nein zu sagen, um sich selbst nicht zu verlieren.

Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt ist Svenjas Entscheidungsprozess, ob sie diesen Sommer in Paris bei den Olympischen Spielen 3x3 oder 5vs5 spielen wird. Schließlich spricht Svenja offen über die Herausforderungen und Sorgen eines bevorstehenden Karrierewechsels, der in zwei Monaten nach dem Ende ihrer sportlichen Laufbahn ansteht.

Bitte schreibt mir, wenn ihr noch mehr über Svenja erfahren wollt oder welche anderen Podcast Themen euch interessieren würden.

Danke für deine Unterstützung.

LOVE TO YOU,
