9 - Why some people enjoy having Period Pain
April 21, 2024 17:00 - 12 minutes - 11.1 MBSuper excited to be dropping this episode. I mean not only is it juicy AF, but it's going to make some people be like "WTF?!" Now I want to be clear about something, nobody actually enjoys period pain, but they can enjoy or find comfort in what the pain provides them... Because believe it or not, there are some benefits and perks that come with the pain. And I believe that it is really important to understand what these perks and benefits are...because they are what could be standing in ...
8 - Are Societies "Food Rules" Co*kblocking You?!
April 07, 2024 17:00 - 15 minutes - 14.1 MBVery very excited to be back in your ears with another podcast episode!! Let's just say, wow this one is juicy!! Because the thing is, is that Nutrition is actually really simple; but the thing is, we as humans like to complicate it with our abundance of dumb rules. Rules such as eat this, don't eat this, breakfast needs to be in a bowl, dinner needs to be on a big ass plate, blah blah blah. Throw on wanting to have a regular and pain free period and it's all of a sudden a massive sh*t s...
7 - Did you inherit your sh*tty period?!
March 24, 2024 16:00 - 11 minutes - 10.3 MBSo excited to be back in your ears with another podcast episode. Now let's be honest, we inherit so much from the previous generations...yep plural because what we've inherited can actually go back 7 generations #funfact But what about our period?! How much of what we are going through with our period is linked to our blood line?! You'll be shocked at the answer...and I can't wait for you to listen!!

6 - Why Motivation is a Delusion
March 10, 2024 17:00 - 9 minutes - 9.18 MBAnother episode is back and I am so excited to be dropping these kinds of truth bombs!! See most of us (me included) have at some stage fallen victim to motivation... It's so exciting, it hypes you up!! But the thing is, I don't agree with motivation...I think it's just a scam tbh... See motivation is great, but it can only get you so far. And in this episode, I've decided to share with you why I believe that discipline is the key to getting what you want, not motivation. This episode ...
5 - Being called SELFISH is the best compliment
February 25, 2024 17:00 - 15 minutes - 14.5 MBOkay so I am really digging these spicy podcast episodes lately. And in my personal opinion the more spicy the topic, the better the episode. Most of us have grown up to believe that we need to put others first, we are praised for putting ourselves last, praised for doing all these things for others but not for ourselves. I disagree!! By not putting yourself first, you can't look after others. By not putting yourself first, you can't do your best work. By not putting yourself first, yo...
4 - Men & Women are a different species; they don’t have a period
February 11, 2024 17:00 - 15 minutes - 14.6 MBOooo this episode is spicy!! But totally necessary. I've said it before and I'll say it again, men and women are a different species. And honestly I just think it's interesting that our period pain just gets worse and worse each generation... There is a time for boss bi*ch energy and there is also a time for soft girl energy. Understanding the two and using them to your advantage WILL help fix your period. And this episode will show you exactly that!! Can't wait for you to listen!! For ext...
3 - Nutrition vs Mindset
January 28, 2024 17:00 - 6 minutes - 6.14 MBNew episode dropping in hot!! IMO there is so much information out there about how Nutrition is the only way to achieve a pain free period. And equally, there is just as much information out there about Mindset being just as powerful. But there is no where near enough information about both. Why we need both. How to include both (in a healthy way). Anyone can achieve a pain free period, but whether that actually lasts for more than one cycle will be based on if you have included both N...
2 - Why I do what I do. Why periods are important
January 14, 2024 17:00 - 10 minutes - 10.1 MBAnother episode dropping in hot!! Except this is a different kind of episode, not your typical period and mindset educational episode that you will find on this show...but just as important. In this episode I share a bit about my story of going from debilitating period pain to experiencing absolutely no pain at all, and having maintained that for over 2.5 years now. I will also share why periods are actually important. **hint** it's NOT about babies **hint** Can't wait for you to listen...

Why you need to be tracking your cycle
April 10, 2022 20:00 - 9 minutes - 8.53 MBWelcome back to a new episode!! Look let's be honest here, tracking your cycle is like drinking enough water or getting in enough sleep, we all know that we need to do it but hardly anyone does. I know first hand that if I don't understand why I am doing something then it is a lot harder to actually implement it. I hardly tracked my cycle during my teenage years. It wasn't until much later in life when my period problems started getting worse, I started to track my cycle. Today's episode...
