Together Megan Finch from "Whole As One" and I look at rejection in dating and in life in general from an entirely new perspective. We look at rejection as something that can actually help us move forward in our lives and as something that can be a sign post when we kind of feel confused and out of whack (which is normally how rejection makes us feel). This is part 1 of a 2 part episode - I hope you get heaps out of this episode and feel empowered to make rejection your new besty after listening.

In this episode I chat with Amy Parin from Amy Jade Wellness about our menstrual cycles. Amy beautifully describes the four seasons/phases of our menstrual cycle and tells us how we can live a life in sync with these cycles so that we can be best buddies with our hormonal changes leading to a calmer, more intimate and positive menstrual experience. This episode really highlights how incredible the woman's body is and how important it is to respect our feminine flow (no pun intended). Living in a society that caters for how male hormones operate, this episode will help you better navigate your cycle so that you can work it into your everyday life - because as is, our systems don't really help with the ebbs and flows of our hormones. I can't wait for you to get inspired to connect in with your cycle and see how life changing it can be. xx Dani xx
