In this episode, Lisa catches up with Menstrual Coach Academy graduate Aga Mirz to hear about her journey through the programme and all the insights that shifted her approach to menstrual health.

Aga is a mum of twin boys, a wife, and a salon owner. Originally from Poland, she now lives in London with her family. Through her daily work with clients, she hears first-hand the challenges women face around menstrual cycles—and she knew in her heart that deeper awareness could make a real difference.

In this conversation, they explore:

• What drew Aga to the Menstrual Coach Academy
• Why working with the nervous system and being trauma-informed matters just as much as knowledge
• The unexpected challenges she faced in the programme
• How her ancestral lineage shaped her nervous system and patterns
• Key learnings that went beyond information to real transformation
• How her husband and twin boys talk about the menstrual cycle
• The power of sharing this work with men
• How she now integrates this work into her coaching practice

If you’ve ever felt like learning more and more information isn’t moving the needle, this episode is a gentle, inspiring reminder that the real work is about being, integrating, and rewiring from within. Both for you personally and if you are a coach!
