Cyclical Wisdom and How Key It Is For Managing Our Energy And Emotions

Mums F**king Matter

Are you aware of menstrual cycle awareness (MCA for short)? And if so, do you apply it to your life?

In my work with women, I have noticed that MCA is not known about nearly as much as I think it should be. (Boys and men will benefit from knowing about it too.)

In this episode I speak about:

• the work of Lisa Lister
• how I now work (and rest) in harmony with my cycle
• avoiding giving from a place of resentment with MCA
• gently informing and educating my daughter
• cyclical wisdom for when you’re no longer bleeding
• discomfort during ovulation
• advocating for ourselves to find out more
• PMT = premenstrual truth — it's not 'just' being hormonal
• a brilliant podcast to listen to (see below)

Themes: The Menstrual Cycle, Periods, Mental Health, Physical Health

I mention Lisa Lister and her book ‘Love Your Lady Landscape’ as well as 'Wild Power' by Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer (this is the book I forget the name of).

'28ish Days Later' is the podcast with India Rakusen that I reference.

At the end, I share a poem written by me.
