Hey,

I'm sitting on a train, reflecting on the intuition & mindset workshop a week ago now (already!).

I've run a Menstrual Cycle workshop before, but I didn't think it would come up again in this one.

How we channel our intuition through the month has a real impact on our decisions and how we feel about ourselves.

Hormones can tip some of us into depression, anxiety and big physical pain, and other chronic pain and mood stuff shows up too, separate to hormones.

Whatever you're experiencing can shift, through how you think and how you treat your body. Here's what actually helped me:

Point 1: Blood test. A year ago a hormone test showed my Iodine was extremely low.

Once I started eating more seaweed and Asian foods high in Iodine, my cycle changed dramatically, to the point I'm almost pain free now.

Start with the basics: Iron, Vitamin D, Thyroid and Zinc, plus Iodine if your doctor or naturopath will test it.

Point 2: Stress. What's your stress and mindset sitting at, on a scale of 1 to 10?

Fight or flight, hating your situation, not loving yourself, living in victimisation, all of it changes the body.

Trauma is held in the body, once I released what I was holding in my womb and pelvis, my period pain became so much more functional.

Point 3: The basics. Moving your body, eating well, getting sun, real quiet time instead of scrolling, and then finding a real community.

As women and from our ancestors we need to be connected, nurtured, loved and contributing to others, sharing food and life with people.

If you're not meeting most of those needs, your body will hold the score and keep giving you signals.

If I'm honest, community is the one thing I still lack myself, and it's exactly why I keep showing up to build this with you.

I hope this has helped, reply any time if you want to go deeper (I love it!).

I'll be running another workshop in Port Macquarie next month, join the waitlist here.

And an online one not long after for all of you remote, join that waitlist here.
