  • In this episode, I share my decision to hit pause on the From Pain to Power Podcast and chat about my plans for 2024 including 1:1 coaching and the Menstrual Cycle Coaching Professional Training.

    Be sure to follow the @menstrual_coach_academy to stay up to date with exciting developments throughout 2024. We are really making waves in this space, and as our field grows in popularity, I'm needing a bit more time and space to give that my full attention.

    Since 2022 the intention of this podcast has always been to provide a supportive, educational voice for those experiencing chronic pain or menstrual cycle difficulties such as PMS, PMDD and endometriosis, as well as those wanting to understand Mensural Cycle Awareness. This body of work will remain here for you to access whenever you need.

    It has been a pleasure growing this community with you all and I look forward to sharing the insights I uncover after I take some time to look internally and cultivate clarity.

    I chatted about:

  • In today's episode I had a lovely chat with Taoist instructor Máire Ní G. Having been a student of Máire's courses, I'm excited to share this conversation on the many benefits of Taoist healing practices.

  • On today's episode I talk about overwhelm and burnout when things get busy. As we shift into the autumnal energy we may feel a higher tendency towards overwhelm, and we may even be unconsciously contributing to our own burnout. I'll share some ideas about how to think creatively in order to manage the busyness from a place of more ease and less stress.

    Tips for managing busyness:Invite in more ease - When you have a lot on your plate ask yourself, "how can I make this easier for myself?"Take things off your list - Make a list of what you're trying to achieve and strike out the things that don't need to happen today or tomorrow (this includes appointments and social commitments) Step back and prioritize your own needs - Give yourself space from things when you feel the needAsk for help - Make use of your community and ask for help or advice wherever you may need itTry artificial intelligence - Chat GPT can be used to make your life easier in a variety of waysRelieve pressure - Check in with yourself about what you're available for and ask yourself, "what is not required of me?"Assess your own standards - Bring awareness to your own standards, reject societal expectations and don't compare yourself to othersEmbrace the mess - Whether it's your home, your workspace, a relationship...allow some space for messiness Less is more - Try to avoid reinventing the wheelYou can choose - Decide to have a calm moment, or even a calm day! Learn how to build calm energy for yourself.

  • In today's episode I talk about a big piece of the work I do with women and people with menstrual cycles, which is learning to regulate your nervous system through life's ups and downs. This topic is important because the reality is that life is always going to have high and low points and while we can't control what happens, I believe we can learn to navigate these challenges from a regulated place. If you struggle to stay regulated through life's difficult moments, I encourage you to have a listen.

    Here's what I cover:The loss of Sinead O'ConnorA quick cycle check-inA funny personal anecdoteWhat regulation meansThe social-cultural "soup" we live in and how to care for ourselves and hold our boundaries within itPractical tips for when you're wanting to improve your ability to navigate life's ups and downs from a more regulated place (see the list below)Finding pockets of joy and tapping into your own humanity
    PRACTICAL TIPSGet supportHave practices in place to support your mind and body Pause and check in with yourself Be aware of any pressures or expectations you're putting on yourselfHuman being, human feelingsFind the next best feeling Climb your polyvagal/nervous system ladderSelf trustKnow your needs and know what helpsLean into spirituality and trusting something greater for yourself

    Here is what I talk about:My personal journey with money management and how that's evolved since becoming a business ownerLearning how to make money vs. learning how to manage money as a business ownerHow at the systemic level there's a lot of gatekeeping of & limited access to information The cultural and societal shame many of us carry in our relationship with money and finance Seeing this topic through the feminist and social justice lensExamining your personal history with money, the beliefs & thoughts you hold & what sort of messages you've absorbed through the yearsTaking your power back in your relationship with moneyLong term goal setting and taking small steps to achieve your goals

  • In this episode, Lisa shares a personal update from her own journey with period pain and PMS. We discuss the pressures from the wellness industry to have a "fixed period" and no period pain, which is often not the reality. We chat about the importance of healing not being linear and learning how to "be with what is."

    If you are on a healing journey that is not going "to plan," then this episode is for you!

  • In this episode as part of the Cyclical Business Series, I chat with you about the different ways that you can "receive" in business that are not financial.

    At the beginning of starting a business or coaching practice, we invest a lot of time and energy into marketing, giving things away for free, planning the business, setting things up. After a while, this can become exhausting especially if you feel you are not receiving anything in return.

    Reciprocity is so important in business. It allows your nervous system to receive energy and allows us to build, over time, a strong and secure attachment with our business, our audience, and our customers.

    Tune in to hear more about building reciprocity into your business model, and how you can receive more energy in return for the great work you are doing.

  • In this episode, I reflect on and discuss the feeling of disillusion that often comes when things don't work for you on your healing journey.

    Feeling hopeful about healing our health issue is a great first step on the path, but when we try lots of things and they don't work, we end up exhausted, hopeless, and disappointed. What do we do then? Do we give up? Do we keep trying?

    The steps I discussed with this process:

    1. Feelings: allow for the feelings to be present with some space. Feeling is healing!
    2. Meaning making: enquire what meaning we are making from the disillusion. What narrative are we making?
    3. Blind spots: do you feel there is something you are missing? Do you get a sense that there could be a block in the unconscious field or in the ancestral field?
    4. Nervous system: how has your nervous system been in the journey of healing and recovery?
    5. Beliefs: do you believe that you can recover or have ease and peace in your body? What believes do you have? What is your truth?
    6. Loyalties/benefits: what or who could your chronic pain be serving?
    7. Personal growth: what personal development and growth lessons have you acquired along your journey e.g. boundaries in relationships
    8. Mindset & Expectations: Some reflection questions might be – can I go easier on myself? What have my expectations been? What works? What doesn't work? Can I let that go? What do I not like or not want?
    9. Well-enoughness: what is your well-enoughness place in the reality and context of your life?
    10. Safety with emotions: what other emotions need processing and safety to process?

    Take what you like and leave the rest!
