In this opening episode of Season 1, Daniela lays the foundation for everything to come by reframing the menstrual cycle as something far more than a monthly inconvenience.
This episode explores the truth that most women were never taught:
Your menstrual cycle is a vital sign of your overall health, just like your heart rate or blood pressure.
Rather than viewing periods purely through the lens of reproduction, this conversation invites listeners to understand the cycle as a powerful communication system that reflects the state of the nervous system, hormones, stress load, nutrition, and overall well-being.
This episode is a gentle yet radical invitation to stop fighting the body and start listening to it.Reflection Prompts
Take a few quiet moments after listening, or journal on these questions:
How was I taught to view my period growing up?
Have I ever been made to feel like my cycle was a problem or an inconvenience?
What changes have I noticed in my cycle during stressful or overwhelming times?
What might my body be trying to communicate through my cycle right now?
What would it feel like to see my cycle as information instead of an obstacle?
Who This Episode Is For
Women who feel disconnected from their bodies
Anyone experiencing irregular cycles, missing periods, or hormonal symptoms
Those who have been dismissed or gaslit about their menstrual health
Women curious about cycle awareness, nervous system health, and embodiment
Anyone ready to move from control to collaboration with their body
Your body is not broken.
Your cycle is not betraying you.
It’s been speaking to you all along.
