This episode is for all women who menstruate! 

How much do we really know about our periods? Turns out, most of us were never taught how to actually read the signs our body gives us every month — and no, a period app isn’t telling you close to the full story.

In this episode, Crisia a fertility specialist and owner of Cycle and Flow, teaches us how powerful cycle charting can be for both fertility tracking and avoiding pregnancy naturally. She dives into why cervical mucus is a woman's superpower, breaks down what’s happening hormonally throughout the month, and explains how the menstrual cycle shifts postpartum (plus how breastfeeding plays into it).

We also explore infertility and discuss what up to 30% of women may be unknowingly doing wrong when trying to conceive.

This episode is equally as informative as it is empowering and will leave you feeling like a low-key superhero after learning everything your body can do!
