In this episode, I break down every week of our menstrual cycle and to help you understand what’s happening hormonally, what your body needs from you, and how you can sync your cycle to your life.

What this means for your mood, energy levels, productivity, sociability, and physical performance
What your body is trying to do during each phase
What each phase is best suited for

🎙️ About the podcast: The patriarchy is starting to crumble, but sadly it probably won't be fully dismantled in our lifetime. In this podcast, I help women exploit the system's loopholes while finding the hidden ways the patriarchy conditions us to leak our power. Because guess what? Power isn't given, it's either taken or created. And it's time to take back the power the patriarchy stole from us.
