Embracing Your Inner Seasons - Episode 009
Welcome, love, and happy spring! With the Spring Equinox just around the corner, I’m feeling the shift of seasons not just in the world around me, but within my body as well. In this episode, we explore the connection between the seasons of nature and the cycles within our own bodies as women.
We’ll discuss the ebb and flow of energy, how our hormone cycles align with nature’s rhythm, and why understanding these patterns can help us cultivate a more intuitive, balanced lifestyle. If you’ve ever wondered why your energy fluctuates throughout the month or how to work with your cycle rather than against it, this conversation is for you!
