## Resource

In this gentle and grounding conversation, I explore holistic womb health and the natural seasons of the menstrual cycle together with holistic yoga teacher and womb healing guide Lexi Dranidi. So many women have been taught to be in constant doing mode, viewing their monthly rhythm as something inconvenient. In this episode, we soften that narrative and return to a more compassionate understanding of the cyclical nature of womanhood - from the inward stillness of our inner winter to the expressive bloom of our inner summer - and how understanding these phases and the wisdom of the womb can deepen our self-compassion, energy awareness, creativity, rest and empowerment.
