Healing Her Story with Riva Jean-Paul

Moon Phases & Feminine Power - Your Weekly Cycle Sync: What’s Really Going On Before Your Period | Hormones, Trauma, and the Waning Moon


Listen Later

This week we honour the depth of the 🌓 waning moon and its mirror in our bodies — the premenstrual phase, also known as “inner autumn”. As the light of the moon decreases and energy begins to recede, our bodies move into a phase of release, introspection, and recalibration. During Scorpio season — as we focus on the powerful and transforming reproductive energy — I guide you through the science, the somatic truth, and the gentle practices that support you during this phase.


You’ll learn:

🥀 What’s really happening hormonally and neurologically when you move from ovulation into the pre-menstrual window.

🥀 Why this phase brings up more than just “PMS” — how trauma imprints, nervous system shifts, and the body’s wisdom converge.

🥀 How to move through the four bodies — physical, mental, spiritual, emotional — with practices that work, not just “wait it out.”

🥀 How to lean into this phase as a powerful time of release, rather than simply endure it.

Whether you’ve felt disconnected from your monthly cycle, overwhelmed by symptoms, or simply curious about what your body is doing each month, this episode is your invitation to step into new consciousness and ease around your cycle
