In this insightful and deeply validating episode, Lauren Bernick speaks with Morgan Miller, CPM, LM, IBCLC and Laura Federico, MS, LCSW, CST—therapists and authors of The Cycle Book: An Interactive Step-by-Step Guide to Tracking Hormones and Knowing Your Body.

Together, they explore the power of body literacy across the lifespan, from puberty to menopause and beyond. The conversation covers PMDD, fertility, endometriosis, fibroids, and the emotional terrain of aging. Laura and Morgan share how tracking your physical, emotional, and hormonal cycles—not just for fertility but as a form of self-knowledge—can transform how you advocate for yourself in healthcare and relationships.

Whether you're dealing with reproductive health issues, curious about sex therapy, or simply trying to understand your changing body, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and tools you can actually use.

Key Takeaways:

• The Cycle Book is more than a tracker—it’s a framework for tuning into your body’s patterns and needs.
• PMDD can disrupt every aspect of life, including fertility and mental health.
• Sex therapy supports both sexual and emotional connection—it’s not just about “fixing problems.”
• Many infertility struggles are linked to a lack of cycle awareness and body education.
• Hormonal tracking helps you make more informed choices in everything from medical care to relationships.
• Menopause is a unique journey; tracking symptoms can guide more personalized care, including hormone therapy.
• Conditions like endometriosis and fibroids are common but often overlooked—self-tracking can be key to getting a diagnosis.
• Cultural myths around aging limit women’s potential; curiosity and risk-taking can redefine the experience.
• Self-awareness is a form of power—and every woman deserves access to it.
