The Sacred Womb Melanie Swan

Welcome to another episode where Kim and I discuss the growing divine feminine movement and its pitfalls……as many women who are in this movement are struggling to turn ideas into reality, have a lack of internal authority and are using ‘the masculine’ as a dumping ground for traits that are not liked or deemed to be ‘feminine’.In the first half, we examine why and how our masculine part is often projected outwards, and in the second, we challenge the idea of labelling certain characteristics ...

Ready to debunk some myths about your menstrual cycle? I talk about 6 of the most common myths in the realm of ‘womb work’ that are limiting our experience of what the menstrual cycle truly is, and get clear on what the antidotes are.PMS is not a foregone conclusion!

I applaud and welcome a more inclusive, accepting, loving world. To love each other in our unique expression is wonderful, it’s progress, it’s needed.However…I have noticed a very gradual eradication of the word WOMAN in women’s work. In reference to a woman’s cycle, I’ve seen the word WOMAN replaced with ‘menstruators’, ‘people with womb’s’, ‘people with periods’. If that’s what a person wants to call themselves – fine.
