A topic close to my heart. Navigating friendships in adult life is hard. We change, we evolve, we aren't meant to remain STAGNANT! So how can we maintain the same friendships when we are constantly changing???

Really keen to hear your thoughts on this.

Vipassana is an ancient Buddhist meditation technique that changes lives by simply getting you to observe sensations in the body and the breath but not try to change anything. It teaches us detachment because nothing is permanent. Have a listen.

 Hello and welcome to me as a therapist podcast. I'm your host Carla.

 I am not a therapist. I am amongst other things, a menstrual educator and I help women understand how to work with their menstrual cycle, how to navigate their hormones and why living as the cyclic being that you are is the greatest gift that you could ever give yourself.

The whole point of this podcast is to empower you, to bridge the gap in our health education system. And my main intention is to make sure that you feel seen. Expect occasional guests. I'd love to hear your thoughts on episodes. Connect with me on socials. Thank you for being here.

Do you get anxious before your period?

This episode is my first ever solo episode, it only took me 3 years to get brave enough to do my OWN episode! I explain a little bit about that at the beginning.

This episode is going to give you the low down on WHY you feel anxiety, overwhelmed, unhappy and completely exhausted each month before your period (if this is you), this information is related to the menopause too, it focuses on the science behind it all and how the hormonal and chemical changes in the body impact us so so much. The aim of this episode is to give you the insight and help you understand your body, your hormones and realise that you aren't loosing it after all.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I offer 1:1's, drop me a message on Instagram to book: @allthingscarla.

Emma chats about the 3 astrology types, the 12 houses, astrocartography as well as taking us through a Full Moon in Aries reading (September 2023).
