I encourage everyone to give this one a listen, even the men, because there is such a wealth of insight in here as to how to better harmonize with a female lover (if you have one) in relation to her cycle, that can support you both in having a much more fulfilling and smooth-sailing relationship!
Not to mention there is just so much magic laced within the mystical world of menstruation that is beyond fascinating and really deserves to be known and revered!
Laura has a true gift for weaving the scientific and the spiritual in the way she addresses this topic, in a way that's deeply profound, grounded and practical. She's played a pivotal role in my life in how I relate with my own cycle, and it's changed my life in such beautiful and unexpected ways. I want every woman to have this knowledge, and I want every man to be equipped with it as well. It's seriously a game-changer for everyone involved.
