The Period Recovery Movement Podcast

Why Awe is the Answer to Our Anxiety

Today I am sharing a talk I gave at our church’s recent women’s retreat. While it is not specifically about eating disorders or hypothalamic amenorrhea, it speaks to the heart of many of the struggles I faced in recovery and continue to work through today. My prayer is that it would encourage you wherever you are at in your own journey. And if you think it may encourage a friend, I would love for you to share it with them. Fun fact: The included picture is of me with my “svuh-t’ya.” A woman from our church who is from Russia told me that it describes the beautiful relationship between the mothers of spouses.

Imperfect on Purpose

Have you ever claimed “perfectionism” as your greatest weakness in an interview, secretly proud of your discipline? You aren’t alone. But what if perfectionism isn’t a virtue, but actually a shield we use against shame? In this episode, we are digging into the exhaustion of trying to be flawless and why it ultimately hinders our walk with God. This is a public episode.

Your Period Recovery Playlist

This week, I thought we would do something different! During my period recovery journey, there were days that no words could express the pain I was experiencing. I felt alone and misunderstood. Music became my refuge as I drove, journaled, and stress-cleaned the house. Many times, these songs would remind me of the truth of Scripture when the Bible felt like distant words on a page. I compiled these songs into a playlist in hopes they may encourage you on your journey as well. In this podcast, I discuss 14 of the specific songs and how God used them during my recovery.

The Science of Fasting and Your Period

Let’s be honest: fasting is often just a fancy word for restriction, and our hormones know the difference. Today, I’m breaking down why the intermittent fasting 'hack' is actually a hurdle for most women (especially if you're trying to get your period back). I’m sharing the research on why we aren't 'small men' and why I’m trading the fasting timer for a big bowl of cereal every single night. Link to my coaching program [https://katelyneweber.com/].

The Silence of Saturday

The tomb is sealed. The sky is quiet. Join us for a brief reflection on the "Holy" in Holy Saturday. We’re looking at why we shouldn’t rush past the waiting on God and what it means to engage with Him when He seems silent.
