Cyclical Power

Felt quite lost the past days (also premenstrual & menstrual + super new moon on Monday - 🌚).

No space nor focus for work, or much else.
Tried pushing through but learned too much about cycles and the Feminine that that’s gaslighting oneself, ánd unsustainable in the long run.
So, created space to sit with the discomfort of this liminal space.

Trying not to identify myself nor my level of success with it, regulating my nervous system through movement, breathing, being in nature, surrounding myself with loved ones, and - especially - ‘loosing time’ with unproductive, inefficient and not goal oriented ways of being.

Trusting that light will reappear brightly, accompanied by a renewed sense of focus, clarity and direction.

When things get too much, gearing down is the way 🐌💚

If you’ve ever wondered why trying harder never seemed to be enough 〰 this one’s for you. This is the story behind Cyclical Power, and why I created it. Swipe →

🌀 It all starts with coming back to yourself 🌀

Looking back on the fullness of last weekend.

You know those weekends where everything you currently long for in life seems to come together naturally?

For me, that looked like:
✨ Community
✨ Nature
✨ Meaningful conversations
✨ Laughter
✨ Movement
✨ Music
✨ Dancing
✨ Bonfires
✨ Nourishing food
✨ New, deep connections
I came home feeling really grateful.
And deeply alive.

The weekend also reminded me of something I’ve been feeling for a while:
I want more community in my life.
More spontaneous gatherings.
More shared meals.
More music.
More dancing.
More opportunities to connect with both old friends and new faces.

Living between different places and cultures has brought many gifts, but it has also made community feel less rooted at times.
And when something returns with that much clarity, it deserves intention.

So that’s my intention for the months ahead.

And here’s my question for you:
🌿 What would you like more of in your life right now?
🧗🏽‍♀️And what small action could you take towards it this month?

I’d love to read👇🏽

Our hormones determine how we perceive the world,
and how we perceive the world shows how our hormones are functioning.

Hormones influence
- how our brains process info
- how we feel emotionally
- where our attention goes
- whether our energy is turned inwards or outwards
- how we sleep
- how we respond to our environment ✨

Our hormones define how we process the overwhelming amount of information we receive every minute, and help us to prioritise what matters (biologically) 〰 what is safe, urgent, interesting, or threatening.

Hormones, nervous system regulation, breathing patterns - they are all interconnected ∞

A beautiful kick off of Yoga Sangraha & Pranayama for Women’s Health from by 🙏🏽

It is so important (and simple!) to understand
➺ how our hormones function
➺ what impacts them
➺ and what our bodies need to support the well-functioning of our hormones,
so we can see & perceive the world with more calm, vitality and joy.

And that’s exactly what my upcoming workshop series explores: cyclical living & understanding female hormones.

Spring is not just a season - it’s a way of being.
Spring carries a very specific energy.
One that we often rush through on our way to “summer mode” 🔥 fueled by the increase in light, warmth, new life, and blossoming around us.

However, in nature nothing rushes.

What if this season is actually inviting us into:
〰 tender emergence instead of rapid growth
〰 curiosity and a beginner’s state of mind
〰 playfulness over focus on achievement
〰 gradual expansion rather than giving everything always your all

Spring is not about doing more.
It’s about moving lightly.
Making space for experimentation.
For trying new things.
For intentionally nourishing what you want to grow.

And often, the ideas and creations that emerge from there carry far more essence than the ones forced through pressure.

Because what you rush now…
you’ll likely have to sustain later.

Yet, the struggle is real.
How easy it is to say yes too quickly when energy starts rising again.
To overfill the calendar.
To mistake renewed energy for endless capacity.
Do you feel that too?

Let’s reframe:
cyclical living is not about suppressing expansion -
but about letting all happen gradually enough that your nervous system, body, and heart can actually come along with you.
And spring energy is an amazing ally in that.
Enjoy it, play with it, emerge with it.

Menstrual cycle awareness is about far more than hormones or tracking periods.

It is an invitation to reconnect.

To reconnect with:

🌹 your body and its signals
🌹 your emotions and inner world
🌹 your energy and changing needs
🌹 your boundaries and varying capacities
🌹 your natural rhythms
🌹 your relationship to rest
🌹 your intuition and inner knowing
🌹 the cyclical nature of life itself

For many women, menstrual cycle awareness becomes a doorway toward deeper self-understanding, self-trust, a more sustainable way of living, and a truer way of relating to their environment.

Not through rigid rules or perfect routines,
but through learning how to listen inward instead of constantly overriding the body.

Because the menstrual cycle is not separate from our wellbeing.

It influences:
how we feel,
how we relate,
how we work,
how we rest,
how we move through the world.

And perhaps most importantly:
it reminds us that our bodies are not problems to fix,
but intelligent systems to understand, support and thrive on 🌿
