EP10: International Women’s Day: Reclaim Your Body and Celebrate Your Cycle with Stella Artuso Bed Talks the Podcast
-
- Self-Improvement
To celebrate and honour the feminine for International Women’s Day we invited a very special guest, menstrual cycle educator and yoga instructor Stella Artuso, to share her story and wisdom on living in alignment with the cycles of nature as a reminder and testimony to just how magical and powerful women are.
Stella is a powerhouse of knowledge when it comes to our body’s rhythms, but she wasn’t always this connected and tuned into her internal guidance (that we all have and so often resist!). She opens up about her radical personal, professional and spiritual transformation that took 10 days of stillness at a meditation retreat and a lot of healing to rewrite past scripts and rework ingrained conditioning that had her stuck in a belief system that being feminine meant being weak. She takes us through her journey from living a life governed by her masculine with an identity defined by her Master’s in Public Health and dedication to NGO’s to where she is today; on a mission to shatter the taboo around bleeding and bring awareness to the gifts of our cycles.
Stella lights up when she talks about her Blood Magic workshop series which helps women understand the different phases of their cycles by teaching them “body literacy” (love that!) so they are empowered to make decisions about what’s needed to support their body through internal reflection, food choices, lifestyle, exercise, boundaries and so much more. And it wouldn’t be a Bed Talks episode without diving into shadow work; we chat about the practice of looking at your personal period story and unpacking ancestral trauma and stigmas. There is so much work to do in the world when it comes to the greater understanding and equal treatment of women but we believe it truly starts by re-working the relationship we have with ourselves and our own bodies. Stella leads the helm with grace. Without shifting the work she was providing for thousands of others onto herself, she would not be the force she is today; still in a state of service, but now fueled by the heart, stronger than ever, and ready to take on the world.
This episode is the tip of the iceberg of a theme we feel passionately about, one that will inspire you to tune into your cycle in a new way to empower you at every stage, rather than victimizing you to your hormones. Feel free to share this podcast with someone who might appreciate the message and thanks so much for being part of our community.
Enjoy!
