Wild Flow with Charlotte Pointeaux

What if midlife isn’t a breakdown… but a turning point? I'm joined by nutritionist and women’s health coach Annie Gaudreault to explore the deeper reality of midlife - beyond symptoms, into identity, truth, and transformation. Together, we unpack why so many women feel like they no longer recognise themselves, how the body begins to speak more clearly during this phase, and why this season can be an opportunity to release people-pleasing, reconnect with your values, and step into a more aligned way of living. This is a conversation about listening, not fixing - and meeting midlife as an invitation into clarity, self-trust, and renewal. In this episode, we explore: Why midlife often brings a loss of identity — and what it’s really revealing The shift from people-pleasing to clear boundaries and self-trust How to relate to your body as a messenger, not a problem Simple practices like journaling and movement to access clarity Why this phase of life can be a powerful “upgrade,” not a decline.   Connect with Charlotte on Instagram @charlotte.pointeaux and online at charlottepointeaux.com Discover Your Sacred Leadership Archetype in my free quiz here to unveil your deepest leadership strengths - and your deepest initiation that holds your next level.   Connect with Annie online at veev.ca and on Instagram @veev_wellness

There is a direct line between how you experienced your first initiation and how you lead today. Menarche is not just a biological event — it is a rite of passage - and when that rite is unmarked, minimised, or shamed, it quietly shapes how a woman: Crosses thresholds Trusts herself Integrates power Navigates significant change in life. Holds boundaries, visibility, authority, and money, And how she leads. In this episode, Charlotte explores: What ritual actually is — beyond aesthetics How rites of passage hold us through thresholds Why unmarked initiations breed imposter syndrome The connection between our first period and the way we trust ourselves now The myth of Inanna as a map of the heroine’s descent Integrating the exiled feminine instead of rejecting her How to create ritual in your life and business to support you during times of expansion. From first blood to the underworld, this episode explores how women learn to consciously cross thresholds - or are denied the opportunity and kept separate from our power - and how you can reclaim your power now.   More....  First Moon Circle Facilitator Training - Learn to hold rites of passage, guide girls at their menarche first bleed, and reclaim your own power lost during your rites.   Inanna Journey - For sacred sisters who lead: sacred space-holders, coaches, priestesses, and practitioners ready to be stripped down to rise with the fire horse, ready to ignite your visibility, confidence, and leadership.

What if we stopped waiting for a girl’s first period to start the conversation? In today’s episode of Wild Flow, I’m diving into why our daughters and the girls in our lives—deserve more than just a“talk” about periods at the last minute. They deserve a sacred rite of passage, and they deserve it before they bleed. This episode is an invitation to remember the power of menstrual education not just as information—but as initiation. We’ll explore the deeper purpose behind First Moon Circles®, how reclaiming ritual at menarche can ripple generational healing outward and upward, and why menstrual empowerment is leadership in action. Whether you're a mother, teacher, mentor, or a woman who remembers how it felt to go through puberty alone—this is for you. Because it’s never too early to begin healing. And the younger we begin, the deeper the roots grow.  In this episode, I share: Why we don’t have to wait for a girl's first bleed to start supporting her What a First Moon Circle really offers beyond education (spoiler: it’s a rite of passage) The cultural cost of menstrual shame and invisibility How these circles ripple out to heal mothers, grandmothers, and communities Why so many women are feeling the call to become facilitators right now The importance of celebration at menarche—not just coping tools How we train and support women to become menstrual educators even if they’ve never done this work before Resources + Links: Learn more about the First Moon Circle® Facilitator Training (enrolments close March 13 026): firstmooncircleschool.com/training - or find Parent Resources, or Find a First Moon Circle Free Wild Womb Activation Meditation Blood Magick: Honour your bleed in a guided sacred menstrual temple ritual.

What if your body—your natural cycles—weren’t just considered shameful, but impure? What if you were told you couldn’t enter the kitchen during your period, and no one could touch you, simply because your culture deemed you unclean? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Shivani Jobanputra—wild woman, radical rebel, and sacred sister—who grew up under these very restrictions. Told again and again that her period made her untouchable, Shivani chose a different path. She challenged the beliefs ingrained in her family, stood in her truth, and reclaimed her period as a source of power. Today, she is not only liberated but is sharing stories of period power and womb wisdom with the next generation—ensuring that no child grows up feeling exiled from their own body. Together, we explore:✨ The impact of cultural taboos and patriarchal conditioning around menstruation✨ The emotional and spiritual journey of reclaiming your body and breaking generational cycles✨ How Shivani’s personal resistance led to transformation within her family and community✨ The deep power of trusting your body, honouring your cycles, and reclaiming your voice✨ Why menstrual shame is a global issue—and how we can dismantle it together This episode is a call to liberation—for yourself, for your ancestors, and for the generations to come. 🔗 FULL SHOW NOTES & TRANSCRIPT >    Ready to go deeper?

Endometriosis is a chronic health condition that causes unimaginable pain and suffering that takes an average of seven years to get diagnosed. Because of a huge long term lack of understanding of what it is and how it works, especially in the medical community, sufferers struggle to get support and help for their pain, let alone to have understanding and empathy and support, even by doctors,  friends and family and in the workplace, this causes major consequences for sufferers quality of life. This women's health week, Amy Russell a menstrual cycle coach and certified First Moon Circle Facilitator at Sacred Flow Coaching, shares her experience of reclaiming her endometriosis by meeting, loving and nurturing her body and her womb, instead of battling against the medical system and herself. Whether you have endometriosis yourself, think you might, know or support someone who does, or you're having challenging experiences with your any chronic health condition I highly recommend tuning in.Tune in to hear:Amy's journey from discovering that she has endometriosis and what it's been like for her to try to get help through the system, How Amy discovered alternative approaches that work in the body, mind and spirit plane to healing including Menstrual Cycle Awareness, and Amy's method for supporting women to reclaim their endometriosis and heal their relationship with their body and cycle to minimise symptoms.Ready to go deeper?Free Quiz: recognise the leadership frequency you naturally embody, where you still second-guess it, and the shadow edge that keeps your authority from fully landingAbundant and Embodied: my signature self-led embodiment program for soul-led women ready to turn on their magnetism, drop the hustle, and lead from their deepest power, pleasure, and purpose.Feminine CEO Frequency: watch the core Masterclass for sacred space-holders, coaches and healers ready to elevate your medicine, sacred authority, and money in a business model that holds you - so you don't have to hold it all.Until next time my love,Charlotte Instagram: @charlotte.pointeauxwww.charlottepointeaux.com

Ever feel like you struggle with speaking your truth authentically, or being able to express your thoughts, feelings, beliefs and needs to others? How about speaking confidently out as a guide for others, showing up to share your gifts and magick in the world? Are you a confident speaker, or does the thought of being heard and seen scare you?If any of this feels hard, I hear you, but speaking with confidence doesn’t need to always be hard. A lot of my life I struggled to speak up, I was afraid of being judged, timid, a wallflower. I’d get so nervous, go bright red, and stumble over myself a lot in a work place, and I’d be spoken over, misheard, or dismissed in my personal life. Stepping into a line of work that requires you to speak up, share your left of field perspectives, being a beacon of hope and healing for others requires you to be able to speak up. Reclaiming my power through reclaiming my voice has been a hell of a process for me over 2 decades, I’ve been pushed and nudged to dig so much deeper into owning my truth and cultivating self- trust to speak it. Your voice is your power but so many of us have lost it, until we take it back. My guest on Wild Flow Podcast Michaela @michaelasound is a voice coach guiding us to speak up, speak well, and heal our throat chakras. This conversation dives into: •How many of us learn from a young age to keep quiet, not express our feelings or needs, and how we survive by being inauthentic.•How hormones influence our voice from the time of day, to nervous system state such as when we're in fear, fight and flight mode. •The throat, womb, cervix, Yoni connection and how our voice can change when we're bleeding. •Practices and exercises to help us to connect with our voice, discover our voice, find tension that's there in our throat and our tongue, and get used to hearing ourselves and our expression once again. Ready to go deeper?Free Quiz: recognise the leadership frequency you naturally embody, where you still second-guess it, and the shadow edge that keeps your authority from fully landingAbundant and Embodied: my signature self-led embodiment program for soul-led women ready to turn on their magnetism, drop the hustle, and lead from their deepest power, pleasure, and purpose.Feminine CEO Frequency: watch the core Masterclass for sacred space-holders, coaches and healers ready to elevate your medicine, sacred authority, and money in a business model that holds you - so you don't have to hold it all.Until next time my love,Charlotte Instagram: @charlotte.pointeauxwww.charlottepointeaux.com

How do you manifest with your menstrual cycle? What about if you don't have a menstrual cycle and want to work with the moon? How do you manifest in a cyclical, feminine way? If you love manifesting or want to start, but would prefer a cyclical, feminine flowing way of attracting your highest potential instead of hustling to force what you want, I'm breaking down the what, the why and the how of I manifest with my cycle in this episode of Wild Flow. I believe that manifesting can be gross when we try to force, hustle and seize what we want, instead of really tuning in to what is right for us and our highest good. I also think it's misleading and privileged to suggest that we can just sit back and let it land in our lap, without needing to take any aligned and healthy action towards our desires. I believe its in the union of the masculine and feminine approaches that creates the best outcomes for all. Tune in to learn:How  the Menstrual cycle is a map for manifestating,How to know what you want, and then how to actually let yourself receive it, How to attune your energy to be a match for your desire,How to increase your nervous system's capacity and safety to hold what you're manifesting (no more self-sabotaging getting what you want!),How to let go of timelines and trust the process - especially when it feels like nothing is happening,And how to work with the Moon Cycle if you don't menstruate.Ready to go deeper?Free Quiz: recognise the leadership frequency you naturally embody, where you still second-guess it, and the shadow edge that keeps your authority from fully landingAbundant and Embodied: my signature self-led embodiment program for soul-led women ready to turn on their magnetism, drop the hustle, and lead from their deepest power, pleasure, and purpose.Feminine CEO Frequency: watch the core Masterclass for sacred space-holders, coaches and healers ready to elevate your medicine, sacred authority, and money in a business model that holds you - so you don't have to hold it all.Until next time my love,Charlotte Instagram: @charlotte.pointeauxwww.charlottepointeaux.com

The Witch Wound lives in the collective and within ourselves, keeping us small, scared and silent by default, and in need of having to do so much work to show up as our full leader selves. If you're a coach, a healer, space holder, or wellbeing practitioner in any way, you would have been labelled a Witch in the past, and whether this is an identity you hold or not, we all hold energy (and often deep-seated fears) around what it means to show up, speak our truth, share our wisdom, and be of service to reclaiming the feminine. As such we have lost our voices, afraid to be our full selves, afraid to lead, to be seen, in case we get taken down and harmed, just as Witches were. I believe a Witch is a person at home in nature, who honours the seasons and cycles of the earth, her body and our life cycle, and is here to do magick for the highest good of all. She isn't to be feared like Patriarchy would have us believe, but she does hold the frequency of a woman being her full authentic self, working with her powerful gifts, and being unashamed of who she is. There is so much we can learn from meeting our inner Witch!  Tune in to hear:What a witch is, and why Samhain is celebrated as the Witches New Year and how you can celebrate it too,How we lost our voices and were silenced by the label ‘Witch’, and how it still affects us to this day,How we can heal our Witch Wound and the Sister Wound (the fear of being outed and harmed by other women) to help us grow our businesses,How me and my client lost our voices as an energetic manifestation of the Witch Wound, A practice to find and reclaim your voice through embodied energetic work,How I’ve worked through fears of being a leader myself to cultivate leadership through voice work and having the right support. If you know you need to work on your reclaiming your voice and leadership, if you know the Witch Wound lives on in you, I would love to support you with this! Our magickal new container, the Cyclical Business Mastermind, is a place where we can heal this wound, and the sister wound, to be held, heard, championed, inspired and deeply supported by other aligned soul sisters, to help you step into leadership, work on implementing aligned strategies that support ease and flow in your business and life, and to do the deeper embodiment work that will serve you for a life time.  Right now, until 5th May, I've got an epic early bird offer that's all yours if you apply and accept your place by then.

Comparisonitis is the thief of joy, it's the energy of unworthiness, as compared to others or to where we think we should be, and it's a huge problem when it comes to stepping forward into your power in life and business. We all do it - but what can we do about it? I'm talking this through because it's something I see in clients and women I have been journeying with in my own studies, and it's origin and impact can be subtle, yet run deep. It can stop us believing in ourselves, trusting ourselves, and fulfilling the soul purpose we're here to live out. It can keep us poor, stifled, unfulfilled, and afraid. And it's time we cut through the BS to be more of our wild, powerful selves, so we can be the leaders we need to be, and be supported to do what we're here to do. I'm talking through:Why we compare ourselves as a root cause and some of the common triggers that paralyse us,How it shows up in my menstrual cycle, and how I can watch out for this in my life and biz,The harmful effects of comparing ourselves to others, and the ways it keeps us small and scared, Embodied, cyclical and energetic strategies for breaking free from this energy when it strikes, so we can step forward and own our individual worth, magick and power. Tune in for a pep talk, self-awareness, and tools to shift from stuck to sovereign leader!LinksCyclical Business Mastermind Waitlist UK: Cyclical Business 1-day Retreat tickets (18th May 24)Class: Your Cycle, Your Business Super PowerFind the full show notes including links and  transcript here >Ready to go deeper?Free Quiz: recognise the leadership frequency you naturally embody, where you still second-guess it, and the shadow edge that keeps your authority from fully landingAbundant and Embodied: my signature self-led embodiment program for soul-led women ready to turn on their magnetism, drop the hustle, and lead from their deepest power, pleasure, and purpose.Feminine CEO Frequency: watch the core Masterclass for sacred space-holders, coaches and healers ready to elevate your medicine, sacred authority, and money in a business model that holds you - so you don't have to hold it all.Until next time my love,Charlotte Instagram: @charlotte.pointeauxwww.charlottepointeaux.com
