September 04, 2026111: You Are Well Able (And So Is Your Client)
If you’re doubting yourself in some area of your life, or finding yourself doubting somebody else’s capacity, this episode is for you.
This week, Lisa reflects on a conversation from the Menstrual Coach Academy, where a student brought her fears about starting her own menstrual cycle coaching practice.
Menstrual cycle coaching can be tender, delicate and deeply personal work, particularly when supporting clients with experiences such as PMDD, endometriosis, PCOS, period pain and difficult menstrual cycles. But what happens when our desire to honour someone’s vulnerability means we begin to see them only through the lens of their struggle?
In this episode, Lisa explores the balance between tenderness and empowerment. How can we acknowledge vulnerability, pain and difficult experiences while also trusting in our own capacity and the capacity of the people we support?
Lisa chats about:
Her recent personal win of joining a new running club
Her complicated relationship with sport and exercise over the years
Learning to step into your own empowerment and believe in yourself
Making space for tenderness and vulnerability without losing sight of your strength
Power dynamics in menstrual cycle coaching and facilitation
Supporting clients without unconsciously reinforcing disempowerment
Empowerment when working with PMDD, endometriosis, PCOS, period pain and menstrual cycle challenges
Why sometimes we need the reminder: you are well able, and so is your client
Whether you’re a menstrual cycle coach, therapist, facilitator, practitioner, or simply navigating your own self-doubt, this episode is an invitation to hold both truths. You can be tender and vulnerable, and incredibly capable at the same time.

Is your inner critic giving you a hard time for where you are at? Or where you are not at? Take a step back and ask... "What am I already doing well?"
In this episode Lisa catches up with you after her house move, how life is a little bit in chaos at the moment, how the inner critic creeps in, and what she is doing well. We chat about yoga, self-care, our intuition, and how our intuition might always be guiding us!
