Cycle Syncing vs. Cycle Attunement: How to Actually Ebb with the Flow

Is cycle syncing overhyped… or just misunderstood?
In this episode, I unpack the difference between cycle syncing and cycle attunement — and how learning to ebb with the flow of my cycle became a powerful part of healing my relationship with my body.

We’ll talk about:
 – What the four phases of your cycle actually look and feel like
 – How diet culture turned syncing into another tool for control
– Why it felt especially sticky for those of us with eating disorder history or disordered eating behaviors
– The truth behind PMS, energy shifts, and hormone changes
– Why cycle attunement is both deeply feminine and quietly rebellious

You’ll walk away with:
 – A simple understanding of your body’s rhythm
 – Practical tools to start tracking and attuning to your cycle
 – Permission to honor your energy without guilt
 – A new way to relate to your body: with trust, compassion, and curiosity

This isn’t about syncing perfectly, it’s about learning to listen.
