This week, I’m opening up about something we rarely talk about—how our menstrual cycles shape our daily lives and the ways we show up for ourselves. I share my personal experience with period pain, the journey of trying different medications, and why I eventually chose to step away from quick fixes and start trusting my own body’s wisdom.

I talk about how rest became a non-negotiable for me, even when guilt and shame crept in for slowing down. I’ve learned that sometimes, the more I release emotionally, the more my body asks me to pause and heal. I reflect on the importance of tracking my cycle, honouring what my body needs, and letting go of the idea that I always have to keep up with the world around me.

This episode isn’t just about physical health—it’s about the power of using our voices, especially when it feels uncomfortable. From navigating opinions and polarity in the coaching world to letting go of perfectionism and saying what I really mean, I’m sharing why it’s so freeing to speak your truth—even if it’s messy, even if it changes over time.

Key Takeaways:

• Rest is essential—honouring your body’s need to slow down is an act of self-respect, not weakness.
• Trust your intuition and listen to your body, especially during your cycle.
• It’s okay to change your mind and let your truth evolve.
• Speaking up, even when it’s uncomfortable, is a path to deeper freedom and connection.
• No one has it all figured out—we’re all learning as we go.

Thank you for tuning in and for giving yourself permission to be real, rest, and speak your truth. Let’s keep showing up—unfiltered, unapologetic, and wild.
