88. Cycles & Ceremony: Honouring the Female Body with Ancestral Wisdom with Apollonia Gallegos

What if menstrual education wasn’t clinical, confusing, or shame-filled… but instead sacred, empowering, and rooted in deep ancestral wisdom?In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Apollonia Gallegos, founder of Mi Hita, a movement and platform dedicated to reclaiming the wisdom of the XX chromosomes and celebrating the female journey. Apollonia brings her deep background in education, doula work, fertility awareness, and yoga to the table as we explore how to bridge modern hormonal health with the ancient practices that once honoured every stage of womanhood.We talk about:Why ancestral knowledge is the missing piece in modern women's healthHow menstrual cycles can (and should) influence our work, rest, and relationshipsCultural healing, new models of care, and how to bring boys and men into this conversationHow we can create new traditions that celebrate and support girls from their first bleedWhether you're a cycle geek, a mama, an educator, or just hormone-curious—this one will move you.About Apollonia Gallegos:Apollonia Gallegos is the creator of Mi Hita.
