Trusting Your Intuition When Society Tells You Not To with Ashley DeLeon

In this episode: During her fertility and pregnancy experiences Ashley was often met with a firm "No." when advocating for herself and how that changed her relationship to her body and her providers. How meeting our own basic needs empowers us to self advocate and we cannot organize and make change until we can self advocate. Meeting our own basic needs is how we honor ourselves and creates a smoother path to meet your goals. In terms of exercise we don't need to beat ourselves up on the mat in order to make progress.  How Ashley uses cycle syncing to build trust with herself and connect to her intuition.
