Ep6: Why Traditional Meditation Doesn’t Work for Your Cyclical Body (And What to Do Instead)


Listen Later

🧘‍♀️ You don’t suck at meditation. You just might need a cyclical approach!

Meditation isn’t meant to feel like another thing you’re failing at—or another box to check on your to-do list. And if you’ve ever struggled to stay consistent with meditation, it may not be a discipline problem at all.

It may be a cycle mismatch.

In this episode of The Phoenix Perspective Podcast, Kori explores why traditional, linear approaches to meditation don’t always work for cyclical women—and how to build a meditation practice that actually supports your body, your energy, and your inner rhythms.

Rather than forcing yourself to meditate the same way every day, this conversation invites you into a more feminine, relational approach. One that's rooted in listening, devotion, and self-trust.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why consistency doesn’t mean sameness (and why that matters for your body)
  • How to match your meditation practice to your cycle, energy, and season of life
  • Why a little presence is always better than none
  • How using meditation to “fix yourself” can block its benefits
  • A powerful reframe: Meditation as relationship, not performance

This episode is for you if you’ve ever struggled to sit still in meditation and you’re ready for a gentler, more embodied way forward.

If this episode resonated, share it with a woman who thinks she’s “bad at meditation” and follow the show!
