💥 Periods aren’t a curse, they’re a strategy.
In this episode, I break down Day 1–5 of your cycle — the menstrual phase — and why it’s not about weakness, but about power.
Here’s the truth: when estrogen and progesterone drop, your body is asking for rest, reflection, and renewal. But instead of seeing this as a “bad week,” I see it as the ultimate reset button.
✨ In this episode, I cover:
What’s really happening hormonally during your bleed
Why your body is biologically primed for intuition + reflection here
The best foods, movement, and rituals to support this phase
How cortisol, stress, and rest all play into how you feel
Why I love my period and see it as a superpower, not a setback
If you’ve ever felt like your period makes you “less than,” this episode will flip that script. Your bleed isn’t holding you back — it’s helping you build.
🌸 Periods aren’t woo. They’re biology. And when you work with them, everything changes.

Welcome to the first Spicy Bit — my mini, no-BS riffs inside the Unbound Woman Podcast.
In this bite-sized drop, I’m unpacking a truth we don’t hear enough: your burnout isn’t just about your 9–5. It’s about boundaries (or lack of them). It’s about the “good girl” conditioning that keeps you saying yes when you mean no. And it’s about the way we’ve been taught to treat our needs as optional instead of essential.
This is your reminder that becoming a true FemBoss babe means learning that saying no isn’t selfish — it’s power. Boundaries aren’t walls, they’re the framework that holds your energy, your vision, and your freedom.
In this episode of Unbound Woman, I dive into why cycle syncing is the ultimate boss bitch move for busy women.
We’ve been taught to treat our bodies like men’s — same energy every day, same output, same expectations. But the truth is: we’re not built like men, and that is our power, not our weakness.
When you understand your cycle, you stop fighting against yourself and start working with your body. That means:
✨ More productivity without burnout
✨ Stress-free flow in work + life
✨ A grounded approach to health that actually sticks
This isn’t about hustle harder — it’s about syncing your workouts, nutrition, rest, and workflow with your hormones so you can perform at your best and feel good doing it.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be breaking down each phase of the menstrual cycle and giving you practical tools to apply right away. Consider this your permission slip to lead, create, and thrive as a woman — on your terms.

This isn’t your average “sit still and empty your mind” meditation. In this spicy bit, I’ll guide you through a practice of coming back home to your body with compassion — meeting yourself with softness instead of criticism, and reconnecting with your body’s wisdom when you’ve been caught in comparison, shame, or burnout. Short. Sweet. Deeply nourishing.
The wellness world loves to hand us endless to-do lists: journal, meditate, drink celery juice, take 47 supplements, cold plunge, biohack your mitochondria… and that’s all before 9am. 🙃
But here’s the truth: your body doesn’t need you to do all the things. She needs you to care for her in ways that feel peaceful, nourishing, and actually doable.
In this episode, I get real about the noise of the wellness industry and share how I keep physical health simple without sacrificing results. From daily walks to strength training, to eating in a way that supports hormones and energy, I’ll walk you through the practices that actually matter — and the ones I’ve happily left behind.
If you’ve ever felt like looking after your body is a full-time job, this conversation will help you cut through the overwhelm and come back to what really counts. Because your body is a luxury item — but she doesn’t need you burning out in the process of looking after her. ✨
Think of this as your quick + juicy intro to The Embodied Woman Method™. In this spicy bit, I walk you through the four core pillars — Rooted Body, Sensual Living, Radiant Heart, and Wild Spirit — and show you how they weave together into a full-body, whole-self approach to health, healing, and vitality. It’s short, snappy, and a little unhinged (because embodiment isn’t meant to be sterile or stiff). Consider it your cheat sheet to everything my work is about.
You’ve tried the breathwork, the moon circles, the energy healers, the courses, the quitting-your-job-for-your-“purpose” life plan… and yet, something still feels off.
Here’s the hard truth: you can’t bypass your body.
Your body is the conduit between heaven and earth — it’s how you experience life, process emotions, and channel energy. If you’re ignoring it, overriding its signals, or expecting the next modality to “fix” you, you’re going to keep hitting burnout, dysregulation, and disappointment.
In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly why physical health is the foundation of emotional, mental, and spiritual healing. We’ll explore:
• The science of your body as an electrical system — how your nervous system, heart, and brain communicate through electromagnetic fields, and why grounding and nourishment are non-negotiable.
• Why you can’t “think” your way to regulation — and how trauma, stress, and emotions are literally stored in your muscles, fascia, and cells.
• The hidden cost of outsourcing your healing — and why no practitioner, course, or crystal can replace your own daily relationship with your body.
• Practical ways to reset and regulate — strength training that feels safe, nourishment that fuels your body’s wiring, grounding practices to discharge static, and somatic awareness so you can listen before you try to fix.
I’ll also share my own story — the years I bypassed my body chasing “higher” healing, how it led to burnout, and the moment I realised that all the breathwork and affirmations in the world wouldn’t land until my body felt safe with me again.
This isn’t about giving up the spiritual, emotional, or energetic work. It’s about making sure your body can actually hold the healing you’re calling in. Because when your body is nourished, grounded, and strong, your mind clears, your energy flows, and your soul can finally exhale.
Your body is always speaking. This is your invitation to start listening.

If you’ve ever wondered why you constantly feel on edge, overwhelmed, or like your body is one inconvenience away from total shutdown — welcome to the club. It’s called nervous system dysregulation, and no, it’s not cured by a matcha and a magnesium bath.
In this episode, I’m breaking down:
• How your nervous system got wired in childhood (without your consent)
• Why stress isn’t just “in your head” — it’s in your entire body
• The long-term impact of being stuck in survival mode
• And how this shows up in your hormones, emotions, energy, and even identity
This isn’t about fixing you. It’s about understanding what’s actually going on underneath the “I’m fine” mask.
🧠 Think nervous system 101 — but with a bit of sass, a lot of honesty, and zero fluff.
In this episode, I’m talking about what regulating your nervous system actually looks like — not just the aesthetic rituals and breathwork reels we’re being sold online. Let’s get honest: regulation isn’t a vibe, it’s a practice. I’m sharing what worked for me (and what didn’t), why nervous system healing isn’t about doing more, and how it starts with getting really real about what your body actually needs. Less performance, more presence.
