Summary
Over the past year or so, I’ve become impassioned with menstrual health and learning all the ways menstruating impacts my well-being. The lack of education or awareness that goes into learning about the menstrual cycle can make us feel like it’s a burden instead of seeing that it’s one of the most powerful, rewarding gifts a person can have.
Raven Rose, a Menstrual Health Herbalist of Moon Medicines joins us to discuss all things cyclical living. Get ready to learn so much from Raven - not just about our cycles, but also healing with herbalism and dreamwork, and creating ancestral practices.
And bonus - Join us for the Reframing the Reset Challenge! It’s free and we’ll be doing it together as a community. Snag your roadmap here → balancedblackgirl.com/reset
WE ALSO TALK ABOUT…
- Transferring off of birth control + living a cyclical lifestyle.
- Recovering from menstrual shame.
- Ancestral healing with dreamwork.
- The correlation between menstrual cycles + moon phases.

| 1:23.5 | cycle, understanding how to live more in tune with my own nature. |
| 1:28.8 | And over the past year, specifically, that's when I really dug in and started educating |
| 1:35.1 | myself on what my body truly needs. |
