Moon Phases & Feminine Power: Your Weekly Cycle Sync | Waning Moon, Metal Element, PMS Wisdom

The waning moon is here, and with it comes the medicine of the metal element — the energy of refining, releasing, and returning to what truly matters. In this final episode of the elements miniseries, we explore the premenstrual or luteal phase of the cycle as a time of sacred clarity, honest reassessment, and yes — grief.If you've ever felt like your premenstrual self wants to "burn it all down," this episode is for you. We reframe PMS symptoms as messages from your body, explore the science behind why your nervous system feels so much more sensitive during this phase, and discover how the metal element teaches us to distill our lives down to the essence — like a pearl.We also sit with grief, the emotion of metal, and explore how to make active space for the losses, disappointments, and unfulfilled visions that this phase often surfaces.In this episode:🍂 Why the late luteal phase makes us more emotionally sensitive (and the hormonal science behind it)🍂 The "superpower" of the premenstrual filter — and how to use it wisely🍂The pearl metaphor: refining your life down to what's most essential🍂 Grief as the emotion of the metal element🍂 Honoring the disappointment of an unfulfilled cycleDonation-Based Trauma-Informed Somatic Meditation to Support You This Week🤲🏼🌹Somatic Breathing to Hear Your Body's WisdomSend us Fan Mail Our intro and outro song, Reclamation (Reborn), is an anthem of remembering.This song was created as a companion for the healing journey, especially for women reclaiming their voices, their rhythms, and their belonging in a world shaped by patriarchy.You’re invited to listen, feel, and let the music meet you wherever you are.Looking for support?
