Oh My Menses

Ep 21 • My Weirdest Period Pain Hack • How Pretending I'm Pregnant Helps My Period • The Power of Sound & Movement for Menstrual Discomfort


Listen Later

In this episode I navigate the complexities of menstrual health, particularly focusing on the weirder strategies I've used to manage period pain. From imagining period pain as labor pain, to integrating intuitive movement and sound techniques (hello, vagus nerve!), I share quirky but hopefully helpful tips. I also delve into the importance of recognizing stress (both negative and positive) on our bodies, and how changes in diet and sleep can affect our menstrual cycles. Join me as I open up about my personal experiences, advocate for honoring our bodies, and remind you (as always) that embracing our periods with sacred reverence and curiosity could just be one of the greatest gifts we give ourselves.
