Our Story
Love Your Cycle started with a personal experience through womanhood.
I want to share my experience because it is my experience, I don’t intend to preach a bunch of information that should be taken like ‘this is how it is’, I am sharing because experiences are relatable, and my knowledge around my own experience is valuable.
It all started when I decided to go off the contraceptive pill. I was mostly depressed through my late teens and early 20’s, I thought something was clearly wrong with me and I internalised it ALL. I was generally uninspired and disconnected. I felt shit, most of the time and had no idea why, until I started to take more responsibility for myself instead of blaming conditioning, family, society, doctors or anything else – aka being a ‘victim’ and I endeavoured on really feeling into what was going on.
I started tracking the days on my pill dispenser, taking note of how I felt, every day. And soon discovered after a few of the sugar pills I became slightly more in control, grounded and myself.
So I quit the pill and decided to get real with my body and my how I felt.
Years like this obviously layered a lot of psychological patterning and once off the pill I had a lot to discover and explore about myself. Basically, I was a different person. I started feeling a range of emotions, still depressed, but of a different kind, and there were now clear ebbs and flows. I felt like I was coming BACK, as if I was in a fog for a long time. I felt more like ME. Holy shit. This was huge! When I decided to go on the pill I was young and not very educated or in tune with my developing body.
Then it all started dropping in. Oh my god… How many more women are like this?!
And the unfolding began.
Being a sensitive creative that travels through life with intense curiosity and self study, I am continually practicing my own self mastery from a place of being and connection to nature. Nature is my biggest reflector and inspiration. From sitting in a place of ‘non-action’ – in the sense of neutrality and being centred, deeply listening to the feelings coming from my core and constantly questioning everything, I created space to listen, really listen to what was going on in all areas of my being.
This is how I became slightly obsessed with cycles.
My cycle became a compass for me to navigate my way through the month and apply my learnings to all areas of my life.
It is a brilliant framework that we already embody, so rather than learning new information, this knowledge was about listening and remembering, opening up to what is already there.
Love Your Cycle was born from the passion, desire and need to share my insights and learnings with other women after being blown away by how rare deep cyclic connection is in mainstream society. A lot of us have lost touch in a noisy, overcomplicated, technology driven world.
It was born from my personal experience with the contraceptive pill and my own self discovery following the inkling that there has to be a better way of knowing and understanding our own bodies without filling our systems with synthetic hormones.
On my search and confusion for why I was so up and down, particularly when working on creative projects – sometimes I was super creative, sometimes really articulate, driven, logical, grounded, free, stressed, uninspired, depressed etc… I went down many avenues searching for a framework that fit, but in particular was led to a book called The Optimised Woman by Miranda Gray. Her framework immediately resonated with me. It was a lightbulb moment! It was a system that I immediately embodied (and there are a lot out there). I didn’t learn this information, it opened up inside of me, I remembered it. And so can you.
So here lies my own compass – many women’s compasses, all in our cycles. The information is inside of us if we so listen.
Now I know to some of you that might sound a bit woo-woo, but it’s really not, there is a practical way to apply this without it being over complicated or too out there and as you navigate your way through this site you will uncover your own way of bringing it into your life.
In truth, I am a naturalist (not the always naked kind), but I believe our natural world holds all of the answers we seek. Having a resonance to the natural flow of the seasons and living in alignment with nature, I started to merge the information that came to me into a beautiful understanding of how it all fits together.
This ladies and gents, is what you will discover on your journey throughout this portal. Enjoy x
