Empowerment & The Feminine Cycle

PART I: INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS

Nicole and I got a book like “What’s Happening to Me?”
Young women are experiencing new hormonal health challenges – Increased stress, birth control & hormonal regulation
The norm has become to have period related issues or fertility problems
Poor food choices + hormonal birth control + stress = a perfect storm
GMO’s – really impact our health – physical, emotional, learning disorders, hormonal health
Glyphosate (herbicide) – mimics estrogen in our bodies, major endocrine disrupter
Estrogen dominance – fibroids, endometriosis, PMS, breast cancer
Men are being more feminized too!
Our periods are a window into your overall and reproductive health
“Your period is like your monthly report card” Dr. Laura Brighton
Take ownership of your body and your well being
PMDD – Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder – really heightened PMS: Anxiety, overwhelm, anger, sadness, depression
Stabilizing blood sugar helps minimize symptoms
Ask why are these feelings coming up in the first place?
Moody Bitches – Julie Holland
What happens internally each month mirrors what happens externally seasonally during the year
Phases of our cycle:
- Period (3-7 days) – Winter, calm, quiet, build in rest and self care, clear your calendar, preserve your energy
- Follicular Phase (10-14 days) – Spring, growth, egg is ripening for ovulation, energy building, more social
- Ovulatory Phase (days 13 – 17) – Summer, Preparing egg for ovulation, time for speaking up at work, everything is in tip-top shape, increased sex drive, best time to meet Mr. Right, more effective, pheromones high – watch how men respond to you!
- Luteal (14 days) – Fall, Estrogen & Testosterone decrease, start winding down, increased sensitivity, accounting/bookkeeping, internal to do list, more reflective, higher tension + anxiety. Great time for creative focus.
If Luteal phase is too short pregnancy won’t happen. It takes 10-14 days for egg to travel.
Peri-menopause – Ovulation is more sporadic
Can also use the moon cycle – it syncs with our cycle

PART II: ACTION STEPS

Pull out your calendar and map out your cycle. Plan your activities based on the energy of each phase.

Here’s a detailed blog post to help you map it out: Four Phases of Your Menstrual Cycle

This valuable 10-page guide will empower you on your journey to ultimate hormonal health and wellness – stable moods, less PMS and anxiety, less overwhelm and ultimately more whelm.

She became a certified health coach and took further specialized training in women’s hormonal health with industry visionaries such as Dr. Sara Gottfried and Jessica Drummond, founder of the Integrative Women’s Health Institute.

This is essential to reclaiming and maintaining feminine vitality at any age.

Tired, Sick & Stressed? Enjoy Life Now

PART I: INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS

Self-care is vital to be effective and present, we can’t be the women, the wives, the mothers we want to be
How well you take care of yourself affects the passion and intimacy you have with your partner
Clarity around personal boundaries
How do you schedule your time?
Dealing with guilt – choosing self over others
Follow the guilt + allow it to be a guidepost that you’re doing something for you
How to say no:
- Don’t answer right away – give yourself time to process the request
- Thank them
- Honor their request
- You don’t have to give a reason why
- Have a filter: Stick to your calendar. Don’t double book out of guilt
- Examples:
  - “Thanks so much for asking, let me think about that, I’ll get back to you tomorrow.”
  - “Thank you so much for thinking of me, it just doesn’t work for me right now” and end with silence.
  - “Can you email me so I can check my calendar and I’ll let you know.”
It feels great to be able to help someone – you allow someone to have that experience when you ask for help.
Examples asking for help:
- “Can you clean the kitchen, because I just cooked dinner and I’m feeling…”
- “I’m going to take a bath, can you finish cleaning?”
Expand your definition of what support means. Know where your point of overwhelm is and practice asking for help.
Not sure what to ask for: If your friend came to ask you for this would you say yes?
Who’s in your circle of support? How can you cultivate those relationships?
Don’t try to use someone else’s template for calendaring. Consciously design your week, month, year.
Questions to ask yourself:
- When do I feel like I’m most creative?
- What ways do I love to communicate with people?
- How do I like to work?
- What nourishes me?
- When am I in the flow?
If you’re feeling out of alignment, it’s time for more self-care
Ignoring the daily divine nudges – start listening to the small acts of creation

Books Mentioned:

Paris Letters – Janice McCloud
The Big Leap – Gay Hendricks
Essentialism – The Disciplined Pursuit of Less – Greg McKeown

PART II: ACTION STEPS

Do 3 minute “Magic Mornings”

Do something for your mind – like write in your journal, morning pages (An Artists Way – Julie Campbell)
Do something for your body with movement – stretch, dance, sun salutations.
Do something for your spirit – notice your breath, light a candle and pray, pull a oracle/tarot card, evoke and call on a guide/goddess/angel, doodle, hold a crystal
