What if the very thing women are taught to hide holds the key to their deepest power 

In this conversation with Marieke Bodyn artist philosopher midwife and cyclical living guide we unravel the centuries of shame that have buried the feminine body under patriarchy’s logic and the medical system’s quick fixes. Together we trace the lineage of womanhood through blood and soil from red tents and ancient priestesses to the modern woman’s quiet rebellion of tracking bleeding resting and listening

This episode explores:
 • The lost initiations of the first bleed and how their absence shapes generational disconnection
 • The ancient practice of returning menstrual blood to the earth as nourishment and ceremony
 • The emotional and energetic language of cramps PMS and cyclical pain what your body is actually trying to say
 • How the patriarchy rebranded the sacred feminine into something messy and how women are rewriting that story through ritual
 • The biological poetry of maternal lineage how your grandmother’s eggs live within you
 • Why reclaiming cyclical living is not regression but the most radical form of evolution

This is not a conversation about periods It is a conversation about power The kind that cannot be sterilized outsourced or systematized
