What does the menstrual cycle have to teach us - about the nature of ourselves, as well as the importance of living in a cyclic manner? On the latest episode I discuss this with Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer, co-founders of the Red School, which is dedicated to restoring the power of the menstrual cycle and menopause. Via Red School, Alexandra and Sjanie are pioneering the emerging field of menstruality with a vision that menstrual cycle awareness and conscious menopause are prioritized in every boardroom, classroom and dinner‐table discussion on the planet. Alexandra and Sjanie are also the co-authors of two life-changing books: Wild Power: Discover the Magic of Your Menstrual Cycle and Awaken the Feminine Path to Power; and Wise Power: Discover the Liberating Power of Menopause to Awaken Authority, Purpose and Belonging. During our discussion we explore:  

• Alexandra and Sjanie's individual spiritual experiences growing up, and how each informed their current work with the menstrual cycle
• The "exquisite intimacy" of the Sacred Feminine, as Alexandra refers to it
• How honoring the menstrual cycle is a spiritual practice in and of itself
• The importance of making 1% shifts as we begin to bring cyclic awareness into our lives
• The message and meaning of pain as part of the menstrual cycle
• How menstrual cycle awareness can teach us to live in a more equitable, sustainable manner
