92: Menstruation part 1: A journey to menstrual empowerment and understanding

 

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.
