22: Why Most Self-Care Advice Fails Women

About this episode

This episode discusses why traditional self-care advice often fails women due to the variations in energy levels throughout the menstrual cycle and introduces cycle-synced self-care.

Most self-care advice assumes your energy is the same every day. But if you have a menstrual cycle, you already know that’s not true. In this episode, we’re talking about why most self-care advice fails women and how your hormones and nervous system play a huge role in your energy, stress levels, and overall well-being throughout the month. I’ll introduce the idea of cycle-synced self-care and explain how the type of support your body needs actually changes across the four phases of your cycle. Once you understand this, self-care becomes a lot simpler, and a lot more effective.
