With practical advice on monitoring and empowering patients, this episode is a must-listen for midwives, healthcare professionals, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of POTS and its management during pregnancy.

  • The Cycle Book with Laura Federico and Morgan Miller
    Dec 4 2024

    In this episode, we’re joined by Laura Federico, midwife, and Morgan Miller, clinical sex therapist, to explore the powerful connections between mental health and midwifery. Together, we discuss how understanding the intersection of emotional well-being, hormonal cycles, and reproductive health can transform the care midwives and birthworkers provide to their clients—and themselves.

    We also dive into their new book, The Cycle Book, a game-changing resource that offers midwives and birthworkers a deeper way to help clients take control of their cycles. This analog, customizable guide goes beyond period-tracking apps, addressing key insights like:

    • Supporting clients in managing pain and regulating emotions.
    • Using cycle tracking as a tool for improving mental health and relationships.
    • Helping clients better understand conditions like endometriosis, anxiety, and perimenopause.

    Laura and Morgan share practical tools and personal experiences that highlight how cycle tracking can become a missing link in reproductive care. This conversation is packed with insights to deepen your practice and inspire new ways to empower your clients.

    Support your local bookstore by grabbing The Cycle Book when it releases in January 2025—or pre-order your copy now wherever you buy books!
