In this episode we are giving you an in-depth review of our amazing Period Planning Guide that is now FREE and will help you begin or get back into syncing your life, work, tasks with your cyclical super powers.

Yes you read that correctly, your cyclical super powers! We also cover the four phases of the menstrual cycle and some of the ways that you can adjust your workouts, work tasks, self care, etc based on the phase that you're in.

We recommend downloading The Period Planning Guide before listening so you can walk through this resource right along with us.

And if you're going to plan with your period, you're going to want The Agenda. App too. The app syncs your cycle phases with your Google calendar so you can visualize your phases as you schedule your life.

Hormonal Birth Control is one of the most controversial topics out there these days, but we're going there in this episode. As Period Coaches, we know that birth control is a highly personalized choice and one we believe should be made with fully informed consent.

This week, we're chatting about how understanding our menstrual cycles better changed our relationship with exercise too. It turns out that our cycle also impacts how we should work out for optimal results. (And by results, we also just mean how you feel.) Grab a cozy cup of something and settle in for this encouraging discussion.

Now you can (again) connect your cycle tracking efforts to your Google calendar and actually start to put cycle syncing into practice. Click here to download it for iOS or Android.

In this episode of the "For Your Period Podcast" we are diving into the seasonality of our menstrual cycle. We're talking about how the different phases of our cycle match up with the external seasons of our world with a special emphasis on our inner winter (aka period.) In the Northern Hemisphere at least, we're are quite close to the start of winter and things are getting chilly!

We recommend grabbing a warm beverage and giving yourself a few minutes to cozy up while you listen.
