Moon Phases & Feminine Power: Your Weekly Cycle Sync - Waning Gibbous Moon, Late Summer, and the Post-Ovulation

Monday, April 14, 2025 • Duration 21:19

Send us a text

In this week’s episode of Healing Her Story, we explore the energetics of the Waning Gibbous Moon and the "late summer" phase of your menstrual cycle—also known as post-ovulation. This powerful window can offer deep insight into how well your cycle is supporting you—or where you may need to recalibrate.

As caregivers, lovers, creators, and leaders, we often give so much to others—but are we giving to ourselves, too? In this episode, I reflect on my own ovulation phase and how it became a messenger, urging me to slow down and restore.

You'll learn:

❤️‍🩹 How post-ovulation energy reveals if you're overextending yourself

❤️‍🩹 Ways to give back without compromising your own well-being

❤️‍🩹 How to listen to the subtle messages your body offers during this phase

❤️‍🩹 Why this part of your cycle is the perfect time to reflect, realign, and restore balance

If you’re a woman who’s feeling drained, disconnected, or stuck in patterns of overgiving, this episode will help you tune into your body’s wisdom and get back into rhythm with your own inner seasons.

Weekly Cycle Check In: The Power of the Dark Moon: Embracing the In-Between

Season 1 · Episode 7

Monday, February 24, 2025 • Duration 33:47

Send us a text

In this week's Cycle Check-In on Healing Her Story, we’re stepping into one of the most overlooked yet deeply restorative phases of the lunar cycle—the Dark Moon.

This is the moment in the cycle when the sky goes completely dark, offering us a powerful reminder to slow down, rest, and embrace the in-between. But in a world that glorifies productivity and constant growth, it can feel uncomfortable—or even scary—to pause.

💫 In this episode, we explore:

🌑 What the Dark Moon represents in the cycle and in our lives

🌑 Why rest, stillness, and “not knowing” are essential parts of healing

🌑 How to navigate feelings of discomfort during life’s in-between moments

🌑 Simple ways to honor the Dark Moon and create space for deep restoration

Many of us struggle with slowing down, feeling like we have to do something even when our bodies and hearts are calling for stillness. But the Dark Moon is here to remind us: healing doesn’t always happen in motion—sometimes, it happens in the pause.

If you’ve been feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself, this episode will help you:

✨ Give yourself permission to rest without guilt

✨ Find peace in the unknown, instead of resisting it

✨ Reconnect with your inner wisdom and intuition

To support you in this sacred time, I’m sharing one of my favorite yoga nidra practices on Insight Timer. Click here to listen now.

Make sure to subscribe to the podcast so you never miss an episode, and if this resonated with you, share it with a friend who might need a reminder to slow down.

Weekly Cycle Check In: How to Let Go With the Waning Moon

Monday, February 17, 2025 • Duration 30:53

Send us a text

Welcome to this week’s check-in on Healing Her Story! As we move into the waning moon phase, we’re invited into a quieter, more introspective space that deeply supports letting go. But here’s the thing: letting go isn’t something we force with the mind. It’s something the body already knows how to do in its own time and way.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

🌘 Why now is the time to let go—not at the full moon

🌘 How to release with the body instead of the mind

🌘The wisdom of your nervous system & the intelligence that already knows how to let go

🌘 Why we can’t control healing—but we can create space for it to unfold

🌘 How increased sensitivity during this phase can support deeper healing

🌘 Simple somatic practices to help you surrender & release

This episode is for you if:
🌘 You feel stuck in old emotions or patterns and don’t know how to let go
🌘 You tend to overthink your healing and want a more embodied approach
🌘 You’re craving more ease and trust in your healing process
🌘 You want to move through this lunar phase with intention and self-compassion

🤲🏼 Take Your Healing Deeper
To support you this week, I’ve created a Somatic Breathing Meditation for Letting Go on Insight Timer. This practice will help you gently release tension, emotions, and anything that no longer serves—without forcing or pushing.

Season 1 · Episode 3

Wednesday, February 5, 2025 • Duration 01:09:52

Send us a text

Welcome to this week’s episode of the Healing Her Story Podcast. Today, I’m joined by Kim Stevens, a holistic licensed psychotherapist specializing in somatic therapy, mindfulness-based modalities, dance and movement therapy, and trauma healing.

We’ve all heard the phrase, “You have to feel it to heal it.” But what does that actually mean? And how can you begin to reconnect with your body, especially if feeling has never felt safe?

Many women struggle with feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in cycles of burnout, people-pleasing, or emotional suppression. If you’ve ever found yourself avoiding emotions, ignoring your body’s signals, or struggling with trust in yourself, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, we explore:

🌹 Kim’s personal journey into somatic trauma therapy and what led her to this work

🌹 Why trauma often disconnects us from our emotions and sensations

🌹 How somatic therapy differs from traditional talk therapy (and why it can be so effective)

🌹 Signs that trauma is stored in the body and how to recognize them

🌹The first steps to rebuilding a sense of safety and trust within your body

🌹How somatic healing can support those who feel stuck in cycles of burnout, overgiving, or self-abandonment

🌹Practical, everyday tools to reconnect with your body and emotions—without feeling overwhelmed

If you’ve been longing for deeper connection, more ease, and true healing—this episode is your invitation to begin.

Weekly Cycle Check-In: How to Ease Into Spring Without Burning Out

Season 1 · Episode 2

Monday, February 3, 2025 • Duration 28:11

Send us a text

In this episode, we’ll explore the transition from winter to spring and how it mirrors the shift from the new moon to the waxing moon, as well as the pre-ovulatory phase of the menstrual cycle. Through the lens of traditional Chinese medicine, we’ll explore how this time of year is connected to the element of wood, symbolizing growth, potential, and renewal.

But here’s the catch—growth doesn’t happen all at once. If you’ve been feeling pressure to “do it all” or jump straight into action, this episode will guide you to embrace a slower, more intentional pace. Just like a garden needs preparation before planting, this is your time to tend to your inner soil.

Together, we’ll discuss:

🌑 The connection between the moon cycle, your menstrual cycle, and seasonal shifts.
🌱 Why it’s important to ground yourself and avoid doing too much too soon.
💡 Practical ways to honor this yin phase, allowing you to build a strong foundation for the intentions you’re nurturing.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the demands of life or unsure how to ease into this new season, this episode offers you the tools and wisdom to stay balanced and aligned with your body’s natural rhythms.

Take a breath, slow down, and learn how to honor this time of transition so you can step into the next phase of your cycle with clarity, grounded energy, and purpose.
