    What You Need to Know About Perimenopause

    For my listeners who have been in their menstrual years for quite some time... this one's for you. Perimenopause is a-comin', and it may not be as far off as you think. In fact, symptoms can start as early as your late 30s (though it's more likely to happen in your mid-40s), which is why I want to share what to expect when you're expecting menopause.

    The Menstrual Phases as Tarot Archetypes

    My favorite part about cycle syncing is that you can find so many areas of your life and interests to apply it to.

I provide specific examples of archetypes from the major and minor arcana that mirror the energy of each cycle phase, to give context to what's going on mentally and physically in the body and help you orga...

    The Fertility Cliff Myth + Preconception Planning

    The "fertility cliff," or the idea that your fertility takes a complete nosedive on your 35th birthday, is a longstanding myth. In fact, it's based on some really old research (like, shockingly old) and the decline and risks associated with being of "advanced maternal age" are not as dire as we're told.
