About this listen
What if one of the most powerful tools for improving your relationship was already happening every month—just largely misunderstood? In this eye-opening episode of Marriage IQ, we sit down with mental health therapist and hormone cycle specialist Shera Jackson Harper to unpack the emotional, mental, and relational impact of the female hormone cycle.
From the quiet clarity of the menstrual phase to the radiant energy of ovulation and the problem-solving drive of the luteal phase, Shara explains how shifting hormones influence mood, motivation, sex drive, and communication—and why most couples are missing the cues.
We dive into:
When to have deep conversations (and when not to)
How to align intimacy with changing desires using a “sex menu”
Practical ways partners can support each other through the ups and downs
How to transform postpartum hormone shifts from frustration to teamwork
This episode will help you replace confusion with connection and frustration with empathy. It’s not about fixing hormones—it’s about learning to flow with them, together.
