20. Embodied reclamation through the menstrual cycle with Charlotte Pointeaux
Description
According to today’s guest, the way we experience our menstrual cycle speaks to our relationship to our bodies, to our caregivers & the way we may have been guided & supported - or not. All kinds of wounding that we’ve experienced in our life can and will play out in the menstrual cycle.
I’m speaking with Charlotte Pointeaux, wild feminine cycle coach. We go to the depths in this chat - and get clear on what we gain as women when we learn to live in reverence to the cyclical nature of our body.
Today, Kate and Charlotte discuss:
+ How has understanding her menstrual cycle impacted how Charlotte connects to the grief she carries?
+ How she (and so many of us) have internalised the deep imprint that our bodies aren’t to be trusted
+ Why she is a devotee to the spiritual aspects of the menstrual cycle and how this work has changed her life
+ Becoming aware of the woundings that arise during our menstrual cycle and knowing how to support ourselves through them
+ The tension of holding desire to create and express with the pressures of mothering in ovulation
+ Her commitment to reclaiming ceremony and rites of passage and why this is a big deal for girls and women
