My Journey with my Cycle & Conscious Menstruality through to Conception of my Pregnancy

My Journey with my Cycle & Conscious Menstruality through to Conception of my Pregnancy

I actually used to believe that the first day of my period was the end rather than the beginning. I never once thought of my menstrual cycle as an actual cycle or that it had components and energies within each phase. I just believed that we had a period every month and that was it. This simple shift in mindset changed everything for me as well as many other things which I talk about in this episode. I once believed I was infertile due to listening to outside influence even when I knew in my body and soul that I was not. I have one ovary due to a large cyst being removed, was told there'd be no reason I couldn't get pregnant again but wasn't experiencing this. I share this short story of mine with you that I recorded a little while ago to support women to come into alignment with their hormones and natural, infradian rhythm.  Connect with how you're feeling each day Connect with how the inner seasons of your cycle feel within your body Make it a priority to ground into the season you're in and embody that energy.

Self-pleasure as Body Reclamation with @mamachowceo

I know I'm not the only one who has been in a relationship and felt they needed to hide! There's an unhealthy narrative that lingers in the collective associating pleasure with a sense of 'cheating on your partner', or is it just me?  In this episode Choiwee and I seek to normalise and destigmatise the realm of self-pleasure through sharing our own stories around shame, sexual trauma, and body disconnection. Hear how we both share our own stories from being disconnected to our bodies and our sexuality to being able to hear what our body is communicating to us, relationships ending and then feeling a sense of freedom within to explore self as well as embark on a healing journey AND MORE. Without a doubt your life will change in many ways when you choose to connect your pleasure and sexuality.   Connect with Choiwee here;  Instagram; https://www.instagram.com/mamachowceo/?hl=en Sex with my Ex Podcast;  https://open.spotify.com/show/08fZDoaaahR1WTlWu1u2jg?si=0d01ac86c67d423b Connect with me here; Linktr.ee; www.linktr.ee/thewombdoula Instagram; @thewombdoula_ YouTube; https://www.youtube.com/@navigoddess9696
