Kristen dives into something we don’t talk about nearly enough: hormones. She breaks down the four phases of a woman’s menstrual cycle and how each one can impact energy, mood, focus, and performance — both on and off the mat. This episode is all about awareness over judgment, and learning to work with our bodies instead of being frustrated by them. Kristen encourages athletes (and moms) to extend a little more grace, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and find simple ways to support physical and emotional well-being throughout the month.
