For many women, menstruation has been a source of frustration, pain, and even shame. We’ve been conditioned to see it as an inconvenience, something to push through or even suppress with medication and other modalities. ✿ TW ✿


In this deeply personal and heartfelt conversation, Melissa shares her journey of losing her period after stopping birth control and the unexpected relief she felt—no longer being held back by her body, free to embrace the fast-paced world around her. But in that freedom, something was missing: connection. To her body. To her intuition. To her feminine energy.


This episode explores the powerful transformation that comes with healing your relationship with your cycle. Melissa opens up about how facing the discomfort, shame, and trauma surrounding her period led her back to herself. We discuss the deep wisdom held within the menstrual cycle, the way it mirrors the cycles of nature, and how syncing with its rhythm can help you reconnect with your intuition, your emotions, and your true essence.


  • Unlearning the shame around menstruation and embracing it as a source of strength.

  • The impact of birth control and how Melissa’s experience with amenorrhea led her to a deeper understanding of her body.

  • The link between feminine energy and intuition—your bleed is a portal to spiritual insight.

  • Cycle syncing and the four phases of menstruation—how to honor each phase rather than resist it.

  • The sacred role of menstruation in healing and transformation—your bleed is not just personal; it holds the power to cleanse and renew not only yourself but the world around you.

  • The importance of slowing down—why your period is a time to rest, reflect, and listen.


This conversation is an invitation to reclaim what has always been yours: your body, your intuition, and the wisdom of your cycle. Your period is not something to endure—it is something to embody.

The new earth is female—your intuition will guide you home.
Reclaim your body, your cycle, your period.
