Are you feeling like everything is just too much right now?

Maybe your energy dropped overnight, your to-do list feels impossible, and even the clutter in your house is making you want to scream. You’re not lazy or falling apart — you’re syncing with the waning moon and the pre-menstrual phase of your cycle.

This week on Cycle Sync, we’re exploring the shift from the full moon into the waning phase — a time that often brings a wave of fatigue, sensitivity, and emotional overwhelm. If you're noticing:
– A sudden spike in anxiety or depression
– Feeling overstimulated, irritable, or weepy for "no reason"
– A strong urge to pull away from social demands and retreat inward

...you’re not alone, and you’re not broken. You’re just entering a deeply feminine, restorative phase that our fast-paced world rarely honors.

We’ll talk about why this phase matters, how it connects with the autumn season of your menstrual cycle, and why continuing to push yourself right now could be feeding your burnout.

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:

🥀 What the waning moon and premenstrual phase are trying to teach you

🥀 How to recognize signs your body is calling for rest, processing, and slowing down

🥀 Why honoring this cycle can actually reduce anxiety, boost clarity, and increase resilience

This conversation is for the woman who’s tired of pushing through and is ready to move in harmony with her body’s natural rhythms, not against them.

Want support for this tender phase? I’ve got a collection of somatic meditations designed for the waning moon and premenstrual time — perfect for slowing down and tuning in.

Have you ever felt like your emotional or physical symptoms around your period were trying to tell you something deeper?

In this potent episode, I share the powerful connection between trauma and the menstrual cycle — a topic that transformed my own healing journey and has profoundly shifted the way I support my clients. Whether you’ve experienced anxiety, PMS, PMDD, painful periods, or just feel like your emotions spiral out of control in certain phases of your cycle… this conversation is for you.

We’ll explore:

❤️‍🩹 How early trauma and patriarchal conditioning impact the nervous system and hormone regulation

❤️‍🩹Why you may feel more emotionally raw or dysregulated during specific phases of your cycle

❤️‍🩹 How understanding the female body through a trauma-informed lens can unlock new levels of self-compassion and healing

If you’ve ever wondered, “Why didn’t anyone tell me this about my body?” — this episode is the validation, education, and liberation you’ve been waiting for.

💡 Stay until the end for the supportive somatic and creative practices I use during the luteal phase to move through rage, grief, and old wounds — and find your way back to clarity and power.

This isn’t just about periods — it’s about reclaiming your relationship with your body and finding tools that truly work for your unique healing path.

If this episode resonates, please share it with a sister, friend, or loved one. Every woman deserves to feel seen, understood, and empowered in her healing.
