The other night around 10pm I was standing in front of my fridge looking at my chip dip. I almost tried to convince myself not to eat junk food… Then I looked at myself and said, “It’s Saturday night… let’s get crazy!” 😆 I laughed out loud because I remembered the days when Saturday nights looked very different. Pre-drinking. Getting ready. Late nights out with friends. And now? I’m genuinely happy curled up on the couch with quiet and comfort. And honestly… I don’t think that’s boring. I think somewhere along the way I stopped craving constant stimulation and started craving peace. Slower mornings. Quiet evenings. Gentle movement. Cozy spaces. Things that actually match my energy instead of pushing against it. I think a lot of women feel this shift… especially in peri-menopause. And maybe instead of judging ourselves for changing… we’re being invited to listen to what our body actually enjoys now 💜 What do your Saturday nights look like these days?

"I claim my full expression." Over the last weeks our cards have focused on turning inwards and letting go of what no longer serves you and tuning . Now this weeks card ... is asking you to choose freedom within your authentic self. The Wild One is uninhibited and weightless of how others feel. How does this card resonate with you? *Card prompt and conversation is posted in the Classroom tab in the Sacred Cycles Wednesday section for those with access."

Last week I canceled our calendar events because I had my period and to be honest… I almost pushed myself to go ahead with the schedule anyway. I wanted to show up for you even though I was feeling like crap. Canceling and not showing up fills me with guilt sometimes. What kind of community leader am I if I’m canceling our schedule? And the thing is… this is such a common feeling in women. The guilt of not showing up, canceling, resting, not holding space for everyone else… And it drains us. Why do we feel so guilty about not showing up for others…but rarely feel guilt about not showing up for ourselves? I had to take a moment and remind myself that pushing through (when I don’t need to) was not supportive to what my body needed in that moment. How can I guide women in pausing if I am not willing to pause myself? So instead of pushing, I rested. Learning that honouring ourselves is not failure. That rest is not weakness. That pausing is not letting people down. Sometimes the most supportive thing we can do…is listen (to what our body and mind are asking for) I hope this gives you a little nudge to pause and listen to yourself too💜

Did you know your cycle affects your voice depending on what pahse you are in? Estrogen and progesterone cause fluctuations in hydration, thickness of your mucus and vocal fild swelling which lead to vocal changes - temporary ones. After your period and into ovulation (follicular) your voice may feel more energetic and possibly higher. While during the luteal/premenstruum phase can feel fatigued and a lower vocal range. Have you ever noticed this?
