Moon Phases & Feminine Power: Your Weekly Cycle Sync | Why You’re Tired Right Now (And Why That’s Okay)

This week, we’re attuning to the energy of the waning moon, a powerful yet often misunderstood phase of the lunar cycle. As the moon’s light begins to fade and we approach the dark moon, many of us feel more tired, introspective, or low-energy—and that’s not a problem to fix. It’s wisdom to listen to.In this episode, we explore how the waning moon invites us to slow down, release what’s no longer working, and integrate the lessons illuminated by the recent full moon. We’ll talk about why this phase is not meant for new beginnings, how lunar cycles influence our energy and emotions, and why honoring rest is essential for nervous system health—especially during winter in the Northern Hemisphere.You’ll also hear reflections on:🌘 How the moon affects the tides—and why that matters for our bodies🌘 Why rest and recovery are necessary for emotional processing and healing🌘 What it means to “let go” in both practical and internal ways🌘 The wisdom of the Metal element in Traditional Chinese Medicine and its connection to refinement, boundaries, grief, and release🌘 How to work with cyclical energy instead of pushing against itThis is an episode for anyone who feels pressured to keep going when their body is asking for a pause.
