What if relieving menstrual pain or releasing stuck emotions in our wombspace could be fun, engaging, and... include twerking? It can!

To be honest, I've tried twerking in the past and maybe it's because I've compared myself to others but I just figured I was bad at it, and it wasn't for me.

Today's guest, Twerk Temple teacher Abigail Morrissey, laid it all out in a way that actually felt approachable for me.

I didn't know that there are 5 separate movements that can be included in twerking, and some of them are easier or more natural for some of us.

She also guided some really simple steps to get started, and encouraged just 2 minutes a day of the "booty pop" which is like, so possible for most of us.

But before we got into twerking, we talked about her healing journey which I think will be very relatable and inspiring to listen to.

From being a hospital nurse to experiencing an injury that catalyzed her to re-assess her life to getting off hormonal birth control to cycle synching and becoming more integrative in her approaches...

And then a huge life upheaval which led to her finding twerking and experiencing near total relief of her menstrual pain symptoms...

And her deep trust in the unfolding of her life.

There is so much here. I'm excited to share this conversation with you!

Wait, what? The moon affects your hormones? Well, kinda. It can at least.

In this week's episode I share both about how this works from a physiologic lens (yes there is actual reasons this can happen), but also how our bodies - so full of water - are obviously also impacted by the moon.

Is the tides of the ocean can be pulled, why wouldn't the waters of our bodies as well? We are not separate from these cycles, and the more we attune to them, the more we can embrace the absolute magic that exists -- even in times that are as profoundly disturbing as the ones we are in.

I also share about the qualities of the moon, and how that can relate to herbs from a bit of an astrological herbalism lens. This is not how I typically practice, but it's an area of interest for me, and one of the many ways we can understand energetics of plants.

I also speak a bit to how the qualities of the moon reflect some of the qualities of this transitional time that is entering into Kapha season. And some herbal allies that may be supportive for you to counteract some of the allergies, congestion, dullness, heaviness or stagnation you might be experiencing as we gradually shift from Winter into Spring.

So often when we hear the word "intimacy," we think of sexual connection or relationships.

It's so common to limit our sensual, emotional or physical closeness to our primary partnerships because that's really what we're socialized to believe is appropriate.

But what if... there's more a spectrum around intimacy?

And how could exploring this "platonic intimacy," as today's guest Nala Sudo calls it, actually be a healing force in our lives, especially in relation to other women?

And how can something like ritual rope help us with deep healing around sisterhood, trauma, or other deep-seated patterns in our lives?

Today's episode is an incredibly rich conversation exploring all of these topics and so much more.

I loved hearing Nala's depth of embodied practice and wisdom, and hope you do too!
