Most women were never actually taught how their bodies work—we were just told to deal with them.
Push through the exhaustion. Ignore the mood swings. Feel confused when your desire changes. And maybe blame yourself when your body doesn’t respond the same way every day.
But what if nothing is wrong with you?
In this episode, I’m joined by traditional midwife Lauren Hall to break down the four phases of a woman’s cycle—and how they mirror the seasons: winter, spring, summer, and fall.
We talk about what’s actually happening in your body during each phase, how your energy and emotions shift, what to lean into, what to avoid, and how understanding your rhythm can completely change the way you experience your body.
And yes—we go there. We talk about how your cycle impacts your desire, your connection, and your marriage… because you’re not meant to feel the same every day.
If you’ve ever felt inconsistent, disconnected, or frustrated with your body, this episode is going to make things make sense in a whole new way.
You’re not broken. You’re cyclical.
And once you understand that? Everything changes.
