9. Tapping Into The Wisdom of Our Cycles - The Woman Within | Lyssna här

From getting to know our menstrual cycles before motherhood, the return of our cycles postpartum, and the unexpected shifts that came with weaning, we're sharing our own hormone journeys. We talk about some surprising symptoms, the moments we questioned what was happening in our bodies, and how learning to understand our cycles has completely changed the way we approach motherhood, work, and self-care.

We also reflect on our experiences with birth control, hormonal acne, nutrition, and cycle awareness before becoming mothers, and explore what it looks like to honor our changing capacity in a world that expects us to operate the same every day. Whether you're newly postpartum, years into motherhood, trying to conceive again, or simply wanting to better understand your body, we hope this conversation reminds you that you're not broken—and you're definitely not alone.
