What's up ladies, welcome to class! I'm Autumn Paone, and today I'm diving into the fascinating world of cycle syncing. Which is nothing new. BUT, this episode isn't about how to cycle sync, rather it's about how to know you're doing it well. I know that sounds cheeky but stick with me, because if it stresses you out you're doing it wrong. Is your approach rooted in rigidity? Masculinity? Or is it...

Let's see what the research says! What's up ladies, welcome to class (: Today we're diving into the oh-so debated topic: Cycle syncing workouts. Should you do it?

Hello cyclers, welcome to class! We're a little silly today. It takes us a bit to get to the meat, but we simply couldn't take out the shattered glass, beef tallow, and jojoba oil. Enjoy.

Happy Women's History Month and Endometriosis Awareness Month! This class is packed with info on a wildly misunderstood disease: Endometriosis. Often considered a "period disease", it's tragically under-researched even though we KNOW that it affects the entire body AND it's recognized as one of the most painful diseases you can have. Autumn had her first visit with an endo specialist and will be s...

In this episode, we’re getting real about periods—no sugarco...

Welcome to i nner autumn —aka the season of slowing down, cozying up, and getting real with yourself. 🍂 You’re still riding the confidence boost from ovulation for a few days, but soon, your energy starts shifting inward.
