😣 Your Pre-period headaches aren't random... they are messengers.

If you’ve ever noticed tension in your temples, pressure behind your eyes, neck or jaw tightness, or even full-blown migraines in the days leading up to your period, you’re not imagining it—and you’re definitely not alone.

In this Full Moon episode of The Phoenix Perspective Podcast, we’re exploring why headaches before your period are so common and how they’re often your body’s way of asking for more support—not punishment or dismissal.

These symptoms aren’t “just PMS” or something to power through. They’re patterns. And when you learn how to listen to those patterns, you can begin responding with care instead of frustration, building deeper trust with your body along the way.

In this episode, I break down three key reasons headaches tend to appear in the late luteal phase, including the natural estrogen drop before your period, increased nervous system sensitivity to stress and stimulation, and the rise of self-criticism that so many women experience during this phase.

We explore how these physical, emotional, and hormonal factors interact—and why slowing down here is not weakness, but wisdom.

You’ll also learn gentle, practical ways to support your body during this time, including nourishment, hydration, reducing intensity and stimulation, supporting your nervous system, and softening the inner dialogue that creates pressure in both mind and body.

We’ll even touch on the emotional and spiritual layer of headaches as a signal to release self-judgment and care for yourself more tenderly.

This episode is a reminder that your body is not betraying you. She’s communicating.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why estrogen shifts before your period can trigger headaches or migraines
• How stress, overstimulation, and pushing too hard amplify late-luteal symptoms
• The surprising link between self-criticism and tension headaches
• How to support your body with food, rest, movement, and nervous system care
• Why your luteal phase is a time for reflection and nourishment—not self-improvement
  

If headaches show up before your period, this isn’t something to ignore or push through. It’s an invitation to soften, listen, and respond with compassion.

Your body isn’t broken. She’s asking for relief—and she deserves it.

What happens when healing yourself disrupts everything around you?

In this powerful and candid episode, I’m joined by Julie Campione for a conversation about spiritual awakening after a toxic relationship—and what it really looks like when self-love, healing, and truth begin to change the dynamics of your life.

Julie shares her Phoenix story of navigating a controlling, religiously conditioned marriage, chronic health struggles, and the moment when choosing herself created contrast she could no longer ignore. We explore how shadow work, nervous system awareness, and spiritual healing became portals back to self-trust—and why awakening often comes in layers, not all at once.

This episode weaves together themes of shadow work, religious conditioning, pleasure reclamation, energy healing, boundaries, spiritual gifts, and community-based healing—offering both validation and perspective for women who know something in their life is no longer aligned.

In this episode, we explore:

• What a spiritual awakening can look like after a toxic relationship
• How shadow work helps uncover suppressed truth, desire, and self-trust
• The link between health challenges, boundaries, and relationship dynamics
• Why healing yourself can feel threatening to systems built on control
• How spiritual gifts often awaken through grief, loss, and liberation
• The importance of discernment, community, and safety on a spiritual path

You’re not behind, Sister. You’re following Nature’s Rhythms.

If January's resolutions felt too much for your nervous system… or if you’re already feeling the pressure to “be further along” than you are, this conversation is for you.

In today's BONUS episode of TPPP, Kori reflects on the beginning of February as a sacred in-between season — a quiet threshold between winter and spring.

We explore the ancient Celtic holiday Imbolc and why this moment matters so deeply for our bodies, our nervous systems, and our lives.

Rather than a time of full bloom or big action, this time of the year invites us into incubation, listening, and gentle preparation.

In this episode, I explore:

• Why this season feels uncomfortable in hustle-driven, patriarchal culture
• How Imbolc mirrors the tender transition between menstruation and the follicular phase in the menstrual cycle
• Why I call this vibration “Baby Bunny” energy
• How honoring this in-between phase reduces anxiety and burnout
• Simple, everyday ways to embody Imbolc without complicated rituals

We also talk about why modern culture struggles with waiting, tension, and uncertainty — and how reconnecting with the rhythms of nature helps us feel more grounded, purposeful, and aligned.

I also share a few gentle Imbolc practices you can try in real life, and extend an invitation to gather in community for a live Imbolc Celebration.

Details for the Imbolc online celebration:

When: February 1, 2026

Time: 6-7:30pm EST

👉 Goals aren’t the only way to achieve success–You need Intention, too.

In this riff-style episode, I explore why goals alone don’t create a vibrant life—and how intention shifts you from reacting to life into consciously creating it.

If you’ve ever chosen a “word of the year” but felt unsure how to actually live it… or if you’ve been moving through your days on autopilot, this episode will bring you back into presence, purpose, and choice.

We unpack intention not as a vague concept, but as a daily practice of becoming—one that can transform your relationships, your health, and how you show up in the world. This is practical spirituality at its finest: grounded, embodied, and deeply human.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why intention works differently than goals—and why both matter
• How intention shapes your energy, choices, and identity
• Simple ways to set intentions daily, monthly, or during your bleed
• What it actually looks like to practice being patient, compassionate, or curious
• How reminders help you stay aligned when life pulls you into reaction mode
• Why a vibrant life isn’t perfect—it’s intentional
  

If this episode resonated, share it with someone who could use a little more intention and love today. And if you’re craving deeper connection, cyclical wisdom, and soulful conversations like this, come join us inside Vibrant & Aligned Facebook community.

Your vibrant life is already within you—sometimes it just takes one intentional step to remember it.

🤯 Perimenopause is coming. Are you ready for it?

Perimenopause doesn’t start at 50—it can begin as early as your mid-30s. In this episode, Emmie Jae and I break down what’s actually happening in your body, why emotions can feel intense or unpredictable, and how cycle syncing can become a grounding, supportive tool instead of another thing to “do right.”

We explore perimenopause as more than a hormonal transition—it’s a sacred season of letting go, redefining boundaries, and reclaiming your energy. From cycle tracking to adjusting workouts, habits, and expectations, this conversation is both practical and validating.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why perimenopause can start earlier than expected
• Common early signs of perimenopause
• What cycle syncing really means and how to start simply
• How to plan your life around your energy instead of pushing through
• Why slowing down can support your hormones
• How a cyclical approach to yoga supports your body—especially during your bleed

🧘‍♀️ You don’t suck at meditation. You just might need a cyclical approach!

Meditation isn’t meant to feel like another thing you’re failing at—or another box to check on your to-do list. And if you’ve ever struggled to stay consistent with meditation, it may not be a discipline problem at all.

It may be a cycle mismatch.

In this episode of The Phoenix Perspective Podcast, Kori explores why traditional, linear approaches to meditation don’t always work for cyclical women—and how to build a meditation practice that actually supports your body, your energy, and your inner rhythms.

Rather than forcing yourself to meditate the same way every day, this conversation invites you into a more feminine, relational approach. One that's rooted in listening, devotion, and self-trust.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why consistency doesn’t mean sameness (and why that matters for your body)
  
• How to match your meditation practice to your cycle, energy, and season of life
  
• Why a little presence is always better than none
  
• How using meditation to “fix yourself” can block its benefits
  
• A powerful reframe: Meditation as relationship, not performance
  

This episode is for you if you’ve ever struggled to sit still in meditation and you’re ready for a gentler, more embodied way forward.

If this episode resonated, share it with a woman who thinks she’s “bad at meditation” and follow the show!

💓 Your Womb has a lot to say... are you listening to her?

If you’ve ever felt unprepared for your own energy, emotions, or needs throughout the month, it’s not because your body is unpredictable — it’s because no one ever taught you how your cycle and feminine energy actually work.

In this episode of The Phoenix Perspective Podcast, Kori Rae Kovacs offers a gentle, beginner-friendly introduction to the menstrual cycle, breaking down the four phases and the hormonal shifts that influence your energy, mood, intuition, and capacity throughout the month.

Using the analogy of the four seasons, Kori helps you understand why your body feels different week to week — and why those changes are not flaws, but natural rhythms designed to support you.

This conversation bridges science, womb wisdom, and lived experience to help you reconnect with your feminine rhythm, feel more prepared in your daily life, and stop fighting your natural cycle.

Whether you’re brand new to cycle awareness or finally ready to understand what your body has been trying to tell you, this episode is your starting point for cyclical living and self-trust.

This episode is for you if you want to:

• Understand the four phases of the menstrual cycle
• Learn how hormones affect your energy, mood, and intuition
• Stop feeling caught off-guard by your cycle
• Begin cyclical living in a simple, grounded way
• Rebuild trust with your body and feminine rhythm
  

✨ You don’t need to master your cycle — you just need to meet it with curiosity.

🩸 Periods are not a problem... and neither are you.

You can’t separate your relationship with your period from the way you see yourself. If you bleed, menstruation is an intrinsic part of your lived experience—and the messages you absorbed about your cycle may be quietly shaping your confidence, self-trust, and relationship with your body.

In this episode of The Phoenix Perspective Podcast, Kori Rae Kovacs explores the cultural stigma surrounding periods and how societal views of menstruation—from sacred and honored to silenced, medicalized, or shamed—become internalized as a woman’s self-image.

Drawing from history, modern culture, personal story, and womb wisdom, Kori walks listeners through the spectrum of beliefs about menstruation and reveals how these narratives impact nervous system safety, self-esteem, rest, intuition, and body trust.

This episode invites you into gentle self-reflection around how you were taught to view your period, how that belief may still be influencing you today, and how reclaiming a conscious relationship with your menstrual cycle can be a powerful act of healing and sovereignty.

You’ll also learn the simplest, most accessible way to begin repairing your relationship with your cycle: curiosity and tracking.

This episode is for you if you want to:

• Understand period stigma and menstrual shame
• Rebuild confidence and self-trust
• Heal your relationship with your body
• Explore cyclical wisdom and menstrual health
• Begin reconnecting with your womb and feminine rhythm

🚫 Saying bad things about your body is killing your confidence.

We learn to treat our bodies like problems instead of partners — and when your body feels like the enemy, it becomes almost impossible to care for yourself with consistency, compassion, or devotion.

If you’ve ever wondered why you can’t “stay on track,” why motivation disappears, or why self-criticism seems to sabotage your wellness goals… this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Phoenix Perspective Podcast, Kori Rae Kovacs explores self-esteem and body image through a deeper lens: your relationship with your body is not fluffy or optional — it’s the foundation of your health, hormones, energy, confidence, and ability to receive love.

Kori shares her own turning point in 2022, the moment she realized her body wasn’t something to fix, but someone to care for — her soul’s mate.

From there, she breaks down how chronic self-criticism puts the nervous system into fight-or-flight, disrupts hormones and metabolism, impacts mental health and intimacy, and even shapes how our children learn to see themselves.

Then Kori gives you a practical pathway forward: four relationship pillars you already understand in external relationships — trust & safety, love, joy, and compassion — and how to apply them to rebuilding body trust and creating a more loving inner partnership.

This episode is for you if you want to:

• Heal your relationship with your body and rebuild body trust
• Shift from self-criticism to self-love and devotion
• Understand how stress and nervous system safety affect hormones, weight, and energy
• Improve confidence, intimacy, and emotional well-being
• Break generational patterns around body image for your kids
