I made a commitment to lean more into the annual seasons this year, so as part of that, I’ve invited experts in the field of cyclical living to share the meaning, practices and support that the seasonal festivals can bring.
Today it’s all about Beltane, the 1st of May, and Sophie Messager is here to tell us all about it. Sophie has a doctorate in reproductive physiology, and she left her microscope behind to explore traditional healing wisdom after discovering the transformative power of an empowered birth. Her journey, enriched by over a decade of experience as a doula, perinatal educator, and facilitator of holistic professional workshops, has led her to a profound understanding of the rhythms that accompany women’s life transitions. We talk about:
What Beltane is and how we can tap into its lush fertilityHow can this celebration connect us to the earth and ourselvesSophie's journey from Catholicism to Earth-based spiritualityIdeas for simple rituals for Beltane anyone can followEmbracing loss of fertilityThe power of the drum to alter consciousnessand much more!

Welcome to a special Easter edition with the seasonal topic of how our sexuality changes from teens to postmenopause.

What the erotic seasons are in a woman’s life, their vices and virtuesHow to support your teen’s sexualityGrief of many kindsKimberly’s experience of perimenopause and what she learned about herselfThe challenges and joys of being in peri with a teenKimberly's course is here and her website can be found here

The spring equinox, also known as the vernal equinox, is when there are equal amounts of daylight and nighttime, around 21st March in the Northern Hemisphere and 21st September in the Southern Hemisphere. It is the perfect moment to explore balance in our lives. I invited medical herbalist Lucy Blunden to explore what balance actually is and how we can move towards it in our lives.
Lucy Blunden is a Medical Herbalist and EFT-Tapping practitioner in Hertfordshire UK. She has been in practice since 2008 working with people to support them in finding their desired health changes. She loves to work with digestive concerns as herbs have such great affinity to the gut. Lucy's specialist area is where the emotional and physical meet and she works with her astute understanding of folk in combination with herbal medicines and EFT-Tapping to find the perfect path for each patient.
We also covered:
What herbs will bring balance at this time of yearHow transitions can be challenging timesFinding rhythm after perimenopauseThe paradox of Spring, how new life requires letting goForaged and cultivated foods to support you in springHow to recover from a challenging yearRituals for the equinoxWhy Lucy doesn't use the word 'holistic' any moreHow Lucy navigated 'too-muchness' and found the best place for EFTPrompts to help you gain the benefit of the seasonLucy's Links

According to Brenee Brown, shame is the intensely painful feeling or experience of believing that we are flawed and therefore unworthy of love and belonging—something we’ve experienced, done, or failed to do makes us unworthy of connection.
In this episode were talking about how listening circles can help to reduce the amount of shame we feel. How being witnessed can help us to accept and find love for ourselves. We also talk about how shame shows up for professional space holders, and how we can manage these difficult feelings in our work.

In this episode, teacher, trainer and author Niamh Daly talks about the effects of fear and pleasure in perimenopause. We talk about libido, and unpack the myth that perimenopause necessarily means a drop, or no libido at all.
We talk about how to bring more pleasure into your life, how that re-wires the brain, about the value of yoga and different varieties of yoga and other movement. We talk about the fear that sets in too, when our bodies don’t respond as well as they used to, and how to meet these issues with compassion.
Niamh has been teaching yoga since 2004. Seeing that there was very little consideration in the yoga world for the evolving needs of women over 40, in 2015 she began to develop Yoga for the Stages of Menopause, launching her YTT of the same name in 2020, which has trained hundreds of teachers worldwide. She also runs CPD courses in Yoga for Bone Health, and Menopause Awareness and Strategies for talk therapists and for fitness professionals.
Her book Yoga for Menopause and Beyond: guiding teachers and students through change is a great read for yoga practitioners and teachers, I found it really helpful for my practice and I’m not a teacher.
We started the conversation talking about orgasms, or rather, book-orgasms as you’ll hear….

Today’s guest is the sparkling, outspoken voice for empowerment that is Abi Adams. Abi is a dynamic speaker, mentor, and movement coach, and is the visionary founder of Project Woman. Her unbridled passion for feminine health and well-being propels her on a mission to embark with individuals and companies on a forward-thinking approach that puts people and health first.
We talk about gut instinct or intuition, what it is, how to cultivate it, what gets in the way and the magic that happens when we can listen and trust our inner voice.

We hear from the ridiculously prolific Stella Duffy about loss, endings, mortality, the value of living with a sense of our ageing instead of denying it, and the exquisite possibilities for being ‘more ourselves’ that this brings. Stella is hugely generous with sharing her life experience and there are some beautifully profound moments in this interview.
Stella Duffy has completed a doctorate in Existential Psychotherapy and her research is in the embodied experience of postmenopause. As well as her private psychotherapy practice, she has worked in NHS cancer psychological support and hospice bereavement support.Alongside her therapy work, Stella is the award-winning writer of seventeen novels, over seventy short stories, and fifteen plays, and worked in theatre for over thirty-five years as an actor, director, facilitator, and improvisor. The co-founder and, for eight years, the co-director of Fun Palaces working with communities and inclusion across the UK, Stella has been active in equalities and diversity work in the arts and LGBTQ+ communities for many decades. In 2016 she was awarded the OBE for Services to the Arts. She is also a yoga teacher, leading regular workshops in yoga for writing.
We also talk about the ubiquity with which HRT is prescribed (wrongly) for all menopause ailments, often without evidence, using misogynistic and ageist language that causes immense harm.

Cyclical Living Unwrapped explores the gifts and challenges of cyclical life with experts in the field of menstruation, perimenopause and cyclical living.
It's brought to you by Leora and Kate at Woman Kind.
Hannah introduces herself by saying...
'Despite being a healthy Nutritional Therapist and NLP practitioner myself, I continually suffered from a number of cycle issues including PMS, ovarian cysts, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, and pre-cancerous cells in the lining of my womb. Working on supporting my own menstrual cycle challenges I found living cyclically was the best way to optimise my health and wellbeing. I then went on to train as a Menstrual Cycle Coach with Cyclical School and with this additional knowledge I birthed FEMpowered into the world, a holistic 360 approach to women's health and wellbeing through Food, Emotional intelligence and Menstrual cycle syncing. '
