"What if your period isn’t the main event of your cycle—ovulation is?"

In this episode, Monica and Norah dive deep into ovulation—the often-overlooked powerhouse of your menstrual cycle. Whether you're trying to conceive, avoiding pregnancy, or just want to understand your body better, ovulation is a vital sign of health that impacts everything from mood to bone strength.

Not just for baby-making—ovulation impacts your sleep, stress resilience, and long-term health.
How to tell if you’re ovulating (or if your body’s waving red flags).
Real-life fixes—from diet tweaks to stress hacks—to support your cycle.
Monica’s personal story of overtraining, short cycles, and how she got back on track.

And many more!

Spoiler: Your period is just the encore—ovulation is the main event. 🎭

Listen now and learn how to work with your body’s natural rhythm—not against it.
