Your menstrual phase, or Inner Winter, is more than just “that time of the month.” It’s your body’s natural reset point — a built-in invitation to slow down, reflect, and restore.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

* What’s happening hormonally during your period

* Why your body craves stillness and solitude in this phase

* How rest here isn’t wasted time, but a foundation for energy and creativity later

* Nourishing practices for body, mind, and spirit — from food and movement to mindset and rituals

Your Inner Winter is not weakness — it’s wisdom. When you honor rest in this season, you’re not falling behind; you’re building resilience for the rest of your cycle.

Next week, we’ll step into your Follicular Phase — Inner Spring — and talk about how to harness that rising energy with clarity and confidence.
