Today, I wanted to talk about something frequently on my mind, that I witness in myself, loved ones, and clients: resistance to rest. In our menstrual cycle, there are times when naturally, our bodies desire to slow down, go inward & contract. These times - usually in the luteal & menstrual phases - are so important for processing emotions, trauma, limiting beliefs and highlighting where in our lives we need to take action or make adjustments. What happens when we consistently 'push through' these default times for rest and resist slowing down? What are we communicating with our bodies? Personally, and from my clinical perspective, I see this as a huge underlying factor for period pain, pre-menstrual syndrome and other symptoms of hormonal imbalance. This easily adds up to a much bigger picture of 'unwellness', when we consider that each phase of our cycle influences the next, and each cycle influences the next, and so on. It's time to break these societal patterns & make friends with slowing down, stillness and rest. Our health & hormones depend on it.

WANT TO LEARN MORE?

Welcome to Oh My Menses! I’m so grateful to have you here. As the first episode, I really just rolled with the flow. It felt good to share my story of going through puberty, hormonal experiences, being on the pill as a teen, navigating safe sex and discovering fertility awareness at 17 years old before fully discovering (remembering) Menstrual Cycle Awareness. I know & trust there is healing in the storytelling.
This episode really is a bit of journeying back in time with me, so I appreciate your digital company, holding space for my stories & history.

If anything I said resonated with you, or you have a question or something you’d love to hear me talk about, please drop me a line at [email protected]

I have online & in-person naturopathy sessions available where we holistically focus on your body, hormones, menstrual health (and more), and harness the healing power of nature to bring your body back to balance. You can explore working together here
