Owning Our Cycles and Period Stories: From Period Shame to Empowered Womanhood Guest: Christin Gilbert – aka Modern Mother

In this raw, heartfelt, and empowering episode, host Jessica Dumas, sits down with Christin Gilbert, the powerhouse behind Modern Mother, to talk all things cycle syncing, perimenopause, and self-mothering.

Together, they unpack the emotional weight and cultural silence that still surrounds menstruation. From their personal first-period stories to the shame, disconnection, and eventual reclamation of their cycles, this conversation will hit home for anyone who ever felt unprepared, unsupported, or unseen in their womanhood.

Christin shares how she transformed a once-taboo topic into her passion and purpose—creating a safe, sacred space for women to reconnect with their bodies and reclaim their power.

✨ Key Takeaways:

  • Why most women still don’t feel safe talking about their cycles

  • The impact of early period experiences on lifelong body perception

  • How cycle syncing can become a tool for self-awareness and empowerment

  • What it truly means to “mother yourself” as an adult woman

This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to turn shame into self-trust and lead from their inner wisdom. Connect with Christin on Instagram  Link in bio
