Are you looking for a new way of being??
Many of us are taught our entire lives to disconnect, mistrust, dismiss, fix, or “manage” our bodies, our fertility + our physical symptoms with hormonal birth control or total avoidance. We've been conditioned to believe that medical providers know our bodies better than we do + that cycling naturally is unsafe and unnecessary.
So, instead of truly understanding our cycles + hormones and finding confidence + empowerment within our journey, we’re stuck looking outside of our bodies to find truth. And instead, are given unending MYTHS & MIS-TRUTHS like...
-
cycles should always be 28 days long
-
ovulation occurs on day 14
-
periods are supposed to be painful
-
heavy periods are normal
-
you can’t get pregnant on your period
-
vaginal discharge means you have an infection
-
everyone gets PMS
-
all bleeds are periods
-
hormonal birth control is the only safe way to avoid pregnancy
-
there is nothing you can do to help heal your hormones naturally
-
your fertility is not in your control
In short, we’re often in NO WAY taught what is going on in our bodies, with our hormones, our cycles, + our energetic shifts. Nor are we taught how to appreciate our Divine gifts as those born with wombs, not taught to interpret, to lean into, or to holistically support or advocate for ourselves as the sovereign, cyclical beings that we are.
Can you think of something you’ve been taught about your body and how to “manage” or “normalize” it that doesn't sit well with you?
It's time to give yourself permission to learn a new way!
