Did you know your brain changes when you bleed—opening a doorway to deeper intuition, clarity, and instinctual wisdom?

Our ancestors knew this, honouring the altered state of menstruation as sacred. Now, science is finally catching up, revealing how the menstrual phase transforms brain function and heightens our connection to unseen realms.

Yet, in a world that dismisses the intelligence of the feminine body, this ancient knowing has been forgotten. In this episode, we explore the fascinating interplay between your cycle and your mind, and how to reclaim the power of your bleeding time.

✨In this episode, we explore:

• How your brain shifts throughout the menstrual cycle
• Why menstruation is a time of heightened intuition, insight, and clarity
• How science is proving what our ancestors knew—that menstruating women enter an altered, more receptive state
• The ways patriarchal conditioning has severed women from their cyclical intelligence
• Practices to harness the wisdom of your bleeding time

💫 Practical ways I’ve been supporting myself—physically, emotionally & spiritually
