Are you feeling the nudge to take action—but also the pull to slow down? You’re not alone, love. As we transition from the stillness of the New Moon to the rising energy of the Waxing Moon, your body, mind, and spirit might be navigating a delicate dance between movement and stillness, clarity and confusion, desire and doubt.

In this week’s episode, we explore the waxing moon phase—your inner springtime—and how to work with it instead of against it. If you’ve ever pushed yourself too soon after your period and ended up feeling burnt out, anxious, or unclear, this episode will help you understand why that happens and what to do instead. 🌿

Through the metaphor of a tender rosebud, I offer a fresh, science-informed lens on:

🌷 Why burnout and anxiety often spike during this phase—especially if you’re a trauma survivor

🌷What it really means to embody feminine energy in a masculine world

🌷How to take aligned action without overwhelming your nervous system

🌷And how trauma-informed menstrual cycle awareness can help you bloom at your own pace

Whether you’re working on your healing, your creative expression, or calling in more peace and clarity, this episode will support you in moving forward sustainably, with softness, strength, and soul.

You’ll also get 3 practical tips to support this phase.

If you're ready to stop pushing and start blooming—tenderly, powerfully, and in tune with your natural rhythm—this episode is your gentle invitation back into flow.

Are you overwhelmed by stress, stuck in survival mode, or feeling disconnected from your body and intuition? You’re not alone, love—and this week’s episode offers you a path forward.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Jill, affectionately known as “The Stress Whisperer,” to explore the deeply restorative practice of Yoga Nidra. Whether you’re navigating burnout, anxiety, trauma recovery, or simply seeking a gentler way to heal, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on rest, nervous system regulation, and what it really means to reconnect with your body from the inside out.

Jill’s story is not one of hitting rock bottom, but of following a mysterious, heart-led path into a practice that has helped countless people, including those with trauma, regulate, rest, and remember who they really are.

We talk about:

✨ What Yoga Nidra is (and isn’t)

✨ Why slowing down is essential for real healing

✨ How your future self can guide your healing

✨ The science behind brainwave shifts and trauma response

✨ Letting go of limiting beliefs (like “I don’t like my voice”)

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve “tried everything” but are still carrying stress in your body or struggle with slowing down, this episode may just shift something profound within you.

Feeling tired, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained? You’re not alone—and you’re not doing anything wrong. In this week’s episode of Moon Phases & Feminine Power: Your Weekly Cycle Sync, we explore the healing power of the new moon and how aligning with this phase can help you reset your nervous system, reconnect with your body, and move forward with clarity and ease.

Whether you're navigating burnout, healing from trauma, or simply craving more feminine energy in your life, this episode offers gentle guidance to help you pause, reflect, and root back into what matters most.

You’ll learn:

🌚 Why it’s hard to slow down (especially if you’re a trauma survivor or cycle breaker)

🌚 How overstimulation—even from healing tools—can keep your nervous system stuck

🌚 What the new moon and your menstrual bleed have in common (and why honoring this time is essential)

🌚 A metaphor that will shift how you think about emotional digestion

🌚 My personal new moon practice and the surprising synchronicities that followed

🌚 What NOT to do during the new moon—and what to do instead

This episode is for you if you’re:
