Episode Summary

In this podcast episode, I delve into my experience with menstrual cycles and the impact movement has had on my usual (irregular) cycle. I also chat about importance of finding enjoyable and accessible forms of movement, the challenges marginalised bodies face in society, and how consistent self-care can help manage stress and support the nervous system. I hope this episode encourages you to find ways to care for your body and mind in a way that feels good to you!

Highlights:

• The Connection Between Movement and Menstrual Cycles
• The Importance of Supporting the Nervous System
• Movement Without Pressure or Weight-Loss Goals
