Have you ever stopped to consider the profound relationship you have with your menstrual cycle?

Welcome to today's episode! In this exciting first part of a three-part series on menstruation, I dive deep into the importance of discussing menstruation and the often-overlooked aspects of this natural process. 

We explore why menstruation is relevant in conversations about female sexuality and empowerment. I’ll be reading a poignant poem about bleeding, sharing journal prompts, and encouraging you to embark on your own self-inquiry. My goal is to help you create a conscious relationship with your menstrual cycle and empower you to embrace this significant aspect of being a woman. 

Join me as we begin to unravel the stigma surrounding menstruation and seek to honor the cycles that shape our lives.
