The Menstrual Cycle: What’s Actually Happening in Your Body | Birthright Ep. 3

Most of us were taught to think about the menstrual cycle as one thing - a monthly period. But the bleed is just one small part of a much larger, incredibly intelligent hormonal rhythm that shapes our energy, mood, creativity, focus, and emotional world every single month. In this episode, we are kicking off a six-part mini series on the menstrual cycle with an educational overview of what is actually happening inside the body. We cover: Why the menstrual cycle is more than just your period  The four phases (menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, luteal)  How estrogen and progesterone shape your experience  Why you are not meant to feel the same every day  How your cycle is a health indicator  This episode is about insourcing your wisdom instead of outsourcing it. And remembering that nothing is “wrong” with you. It's just that your body moves in seasons. Whether you’re reconnecting with your cycle after years on birth control, just beginning to track, or wanting to deepen your understanding of your body’s intelligence, this is your foundation. ----------✨ Links & Resources ✨20% off Natural Cycles App10% off Oura RingFree Online Women's Community⁠⁠Letters from the Hearth Email Newsletter⁠⁠Explore Taylor's Content on Linktree ⁠Taylor is co-hosting The Way Back Home Women's Retreat: Mountain Edition in Colorado, June 4-7 - ⁠check it out here!
