  • Moon Phases & Feminine Power: Your Weekly Cycle Sync – Full Moon Illumination, Sensations, & Lots of Good Information
    Jul 7 2025

    Hey love, welcome back to Moon Phases & Feminine Power: Your Weekly Cycle Sync. This week, we're tuning into the powerful energy of the Capricorn Full Moon — and exploring how to listen to your body’s wisdom through the lens of sensation, somatic awareness, and emotional balance.

    If you’re on the healing path, you might already know the frustration of doing all the things — the therapy, the journaling, the mindset work — only to still feel overwhelmed, anxious, or like you’re “regressing” every month. Maybe your body feels like a mystery, or your emotions keep catching you off guard.

    In this episode, we’ll explore how the full moon acts as a spotlight, illuminating not just what’s out of balance in your life… but what’s ready to be heard in your body.

    You'll learn:

    🌕 Why certain symptoms (like fatigue, anxiety, or tightness) are actually messages from your nervous system

    🌕 How to work with the wisdom of your body — especially as you move through the menstrual cycle

    🌕 Why this week is a powerful time to slow down, feel more, and honor what’s surfacing

    🌕 What it means to shift from “fixing” to curious listening in your healing process

    If you’re actively working to reconnect with your body, regulate your nervous system, or stop overriding your needs, this episode will give you insight, relief, and a whole new way of thinking about your symptoms — not as problems, but as guides.

  • Your Cycle, Your Nervous System & Your Healing: How Somatic Breathwork Supports Feminine Trauma Recovery
    Jul 4 2025

    If you’ve been doing “all the healing things” — therapy, inner child work, mindset shifts — but still find yourself overwhelmed, burnt out, or spinning in the same emotional loops month after month... this episode is for you.

    This week, we’re diving into a truth that’s often overlooked in the wellness world:
    Your nervous system is cyclical — just like you.
    And healing isn’t just about what you do. It’s about when and how you do it.

    Inspired by a powerful masterclass with Veronika of Waking Womb, I’m exploring the biological differences in the female nervous system and how our capacity for stress, emotions, and healing shifts across the menstrual cycle. We’ll talk about the science, the spiritual implications, and why breathwork is one of the most effective tools for trauma recovery when used in alignment with your body’s natural rhythm.

    You’ll learn:

    🤲🏼 Why the same breathwork or therapy practice can feel amazing one week and overwhelming the next

    🤲🏼 What the “window of presence” is — and how it shrinks and expands across your cycle

    🤲🏼 How estrogen acts as a buffer for trauma healing (and when to use this to your advantage)

    🤲🏼 Why female bodies are more sensitive to abandonment wounds and relational trauma

    🤲🏼 How to time your somatic healing practices in a way that supports nervous system safety

    🤲🏼 What oxytocin (not dopamine!) has to do with women’s regulation and recovery

    🤲🏼And how to stop forcing healing... and start flowing with it instead

    This episode will help you understand why your healing hasn’t worked the way you hoped — and give you permission to approach it in a way that feels gentler, wiser, and more effective.
