In this episode, Claire speaks with Monique Dickson, a menstrual cycle coach, women's hormonal health practitioner, and graduate of Cycle Coach School. Together, they explore the powerful connection between menstrual cycle awareness and the journey of pregnancy, diving into Monique’s framework of the "inner seasons of pregnancy."

She introduces the beautiful concept of aligning pregnancy with the inner seasons — winter, spring, summer, and autumn — offering women a way to stay connected to their bodies even when their menstrual cycle is paused.
