Update: 2025-03-18
Description
Episode Notes
Menstruation is often viewed as an inconvenience and seen as a taboo topic when it comes to career, even though it's a reality for all women. In this episode, Michelle Wolter and Tanuja Ramchal, explore the power of menstrual cycle awareness (MCA) and why women tracking and honoring their cycle is a radical act of self-care and a form of activism.
Here's what's covered:
- Going Beyond the Bleed: why menstrual cycle awareness is about more than just having a period and understanding the four phases of a woman's monthly cycle
- Reframing PMS: embracing the “falling apart” and "emotional" phase of the cycle and what it looks like to meet the needs of your body during this time
- Listening to Your Body: learning to trust internal cues over external pressures and how to deal with your inner critic
- Confidence vs. Conformity – how forcing yourself to operate outside your natural cycle and fitting into patriarchal norms is often mistaken for confidence
- Standing in Your Truth – what it takes to go against the grain, align with your body’s wisdom in your career, and live cyclically
