Women's Moon Wisdom

In this episode of The Women's Moon Wisdom Podcast, we explore the transformative world of women's circles with our special guest, Sarah-Alexandra Teodorescu, a seasoned wellbeing writer and mentor.

We discuss these sacred gatherings and how they have shaped both of our journeys. Learn about the personal and collective benefits of women's circles, how they foster a strong sense of community, and the importance of inclusivity. Sarah offers practical advice for newcomers and shares how she incorporates the wisdom of women's circles into her work.

Tune in for an inspiring conversation that celebrates the power of connection and support among women.  My heart was so full during this conversation and I hope you can feel that, too.

In this episode, we’re thrilled to welcome a special guest who is transforming the way women connect with their bodies through cycle tracking. Joining us is Rachael Amber, the visionary behind Cyclical Roots and the Cycles Journal – a unique, cyclical living cycle tracking journal.

Rachael is a nature-focused illustrator and designer, and in our conversation, we explore the design process and the profound intention behind the Cycles Journal. We delve into the empowering practice of cycle tracking, discussing how it can enhance self-awareness and serve as a valuable tool for self-inquiry. This conversation is packed with insightful perspectives and practical advice, inspiring us to document our health and wellness journey through the art of journaling and cycle tracking.

About Rachael Amber:

Rachael Amber (they/she) is a queer, intuitive artist who channels nature-centric art & healing tools to raise awareness and hold space for fostering connection between all living beings. Their creative focus comes to life through illustration, design, intuitive arts, writing, social + environmental advocacy, decolonization, and mental & menstrual mindfulness. Most of their artwork focuses on depicting the beauty of nature, cyclical living & the energetic interconnection between ourselves, one another & the natural world.  
 
Inspired by a deep connection to nature & a desire to find peace & awareness within one's emotional & physical realms, they were intuitively guided to follow the moon & nature's wisdom to find more flow, stability & phasic awareness in both the inner & outer cycles of life. Now this passion to support others in their healing journeys of embodiment, empowerment, education, self-acceptance & (re-)connection is shared through the annual independent publication of Cycles Journal & other artistic tools.

In this episode, I’m trying something new that I picked up from an amazing women in podcasting summit hosted by Cathy Heller. I’m going off script while recording.

During the summit, Cathy encouraged us to ask for a mystical experience each day. On my journey home from Los Angeles, I decided to give it a try.

And guess what happened? A bird flew into our plane’s engine, forcing us to make an emergency landing. This unexpected event set off a chain reaction, filling the day with lessons on kindness, compassion, sisterhood, and an unstoppable shower.
