If you have a menstrual cycle, this episode is for you.

For years, people with menstrual cycles have been gaslit - our symptoms ignored, often being told we are "just hormonal" and that "going on birth control" will fix all of our problems. But the tide is changing and people are waking up to the reality that tuning into our bodies and listening to what we need is vital to living a balanced life.

Today's guest is Olivia Khoury, co-founder and co-CEO of Our Hummingway, an empowering platform that is rewriting the script on how we care for our bodies.

Growing up with a well-versed naturopath for a mom, Olivia was schooled in the holistic ways of the world. She and her co-founder, Ashley Greene Khoury, imagined a space dedicated to presenting the whole picture, particularly after being diagnosed with PMDD. Together they saw an opportunity to share products and original thought on periods and hormones on a broader platform.

IN THIS CONVERSATION WE DISCUSS:

+ What the four phases of the menstrual cycle are

+ Body literacy and how to sync your cycle to your lifestyle

+ How people with a cycle have been gaslit and the truth behind birth control and pain meds like Midol

+ What the Cycle Soother patch is and how it can help you with your own period pain

As always, take what resonates with you and leave what doesn't.
