In this week’s episode, we explore how the menstrual cycle shapes, guides and ultimately carries us toward the threshold of our elder years.
Our guest, Rushna, shares her 25‑year journey with menstruality - beginning with a chance discovery in an astrological journal and unfolding into a lifelong practice of tracking her monthly bleed, honouring her inner seasons and learning to live in rhythm with her body.
We talk about the shift from monthly bleeding into the midlife transition and how perimenopause is far more than a hormonal storm - it’s a profound rite of passage. A crossing. A calling into elderhood.
We explore the power of women supporting each other, the importance of community over isolation and the growing movement of women reclaiming their lived experience as wisdom.
Rushna also shares her current work: drumming workshops, circle facilitation and the Rose Academy - a 13‑week transformational programme for women, with retreats in Devon and online offerings on the way.
This conversation is for anyone curious about the deeper meaning of the menstrual cycle, the midlife shift and the path that leads us towards our elder years.
