The Lunar BodyWhat You Need to Know About PerimenopauseFor my listeners who have been in their menstrual years for quite some time... this one's for you. Perimenopause is a-comin', and it may not be as far off as you think. In fact, symptoms can start as early as your late 30s (though it's more likely to happen in your mid-40s), which is why I want to share what to expect when you're expecting menopause. We weren't educated about our periods before we got them, so I want to make sure you're armed with the right knowledge and tools before this next phase of your reproductive life.2023-03-2927 min $Get in Loser, We\'re Doing Witchcraft$ Get in Loser, We're Doing WitchcraftEpisode 47: Which Witch Series pt.1- Kitchen WitcheryWelcome back Witches!

The Lunar BodyThe Menstrual Phases as Tarot ArchetypesMy favorite part about cycle syncing is that you can find so many areas of your life and interests to apply it to. Tarot is a tool for self-reflection and self-awareness, and in this episode, we explore how you can align with your cycle by embodying different archetypes found in the cards. I provide specific examples of archetypes from the major and minor arcana that mirror the energy of each cycle phase, to give context to what's going on mentally and physically in the body and help you organize your self-care around your cycle.Listener perk...2023-02-0123 min
