Womb Whispers

Indigenous cultures and our ancestors teach us that the womb is not a place to store fear and pain, it's a place to create and give birth to life. Yet, for many generations, womb-bearers (women and menstruating folks, whether or not they have physical organs present) have accumulated not only the pain and suffering from their own life experiences, but also that of their blood ancestors. No wonder...

Nobody likes the messy middle of change, but that's what I as a coach am particularly drawn to: The transitions, the crossroads, the life crises. Because I trust the space we create, I trust your process and I trust your inner light to guide us along the journey But I wonder, why is it so much easier to love others and hold them through their struggle, than it is to hold ourselves, let alone allow...

(Peri)Menopause is possibly the most pivotal and powerful transition in the life of a woman or a menstruating person and needs to be understood and appreciated as such. Unfortunately, in our society it also has a bit of a bad reputation. I want to shine a light on the underlying dynamics for menopause-associated symptoms and how to support yourself through the transition. Because even though you'l...

In this four-part mini-series, I'll walk you through each phase of your cycle and how it works you on a physical, emotional, mental-psychological and spiritual level every month. This is especially relevant if you are a woman, whether or not you're bleeding and whether or not you have physcial organs present, or if you are a non-binary menstruator in pre-, peri- or post-menopause. Because when you...

Having grown up in a "modern" (i.e. patriarchal, white Christian supremacist, capitalist, racist, ageist, ableist, colonist) society, we all hold a lot of unconscious biases in our system that create separation inside of us and among one another. I'm committed to a more equitable and inclusive world for all, so I'm actively working on dismantling societal conditioning in myself, first and foremost...

It's not uncommon for people who have given birth to experience post-natal depression, sometimes called "baby blues" -- which actually downplays the dramatic effect it can have on one's life. But even if they know the possible signs and symptoms, due to the way our society works, they usually believe THEY are the problem, THEY are being a bad mother or parent and that they should get their act tog...

We have this narrative in our society that the body is a wild thing that needs to be controlled (and if you can't it's somehow your own fault). Today I share how your body is actually trying to support you and keep you alive as best as it can with the means it's given. I dive into: - why a lecture on PCOS and obesity really activated my sacred rage - a rant about the Western medical industry and h...

This is just a little introduction for you to get to know me and what to expect, so you can decide if you want to stick around and hear more. Which, of course, I hope is the case, so don't forget to subscribe on your favourite podcasting platform!

Everyone has it: an inner critic … These internal critical voices and thoughts running through your head, telling you to keep pushing, that you are not enough, that you should do better and all the other BS that almost seems like the truth. It isn’t! And especially if you are a woman or a person who bleeds, then there are two distinct phases in your cycle, where you are even more prone to experien...

When you hear the term "menstrual cycle", do you think of your bleed only? Or maybe also about ovulation, if you want to become pregnant (or explicitly NOT want to get pregnant)? I'm here to tell you that your menstrual cycle is so much more than just these two moments. And it doesn't stop at menopause either. It's fascinating, really, because there's a whole death and rebirth process going on ins...

What was your own first bleed experience like? Menarche, the first bleed in the life of a menstruator, is a powerful Rite of Passage and should be marked as such. Unfortunately, the experience is usually neutral at best, but much more often associated with fear or even shame. This doesn’t exactly contribute to young girls and menstruators loving their bodies more ... promoting the disconnect and d...

In our patriarchal-colonialist society, many have learned to see the body as a wild animal that needs to be tamed and behave. A thing to be controlled and forced into a certain shape, usually according to the prevalent standard of beauty and health defined by a small group of people at the top... And if you don't get it to behave the way it's "supposed to", there's something wrong with YOU - which...

Death in this western part of the world is a scary thing, it feels like the end of something, losing something. We are no longer connected to what was, the history, the happy memories, so it feels really brutal, a painful process. Maybe our pain can be carried in a way that is infused with beauty, when we realise this is how nature, the universe, the cosmos works. It works in shapes that are circu...

With the upcoming Winter Solstice, the darkest and lowest point we collectively get to in the Northern Hemisphere, I felt called to take a little dip into the four big wounds women and people socialised as women often experience in our society. Because this is the time to face our shadows, our wounds, to shine a light on them, so we can learn their lessons and allow them to heal. Today, you'll lea...

What are the Twelve Holy Nights? Why are they even called “Twelve Holy Nights”? What are the myths, traditions and rituals related to this magical-mystical time "in-between the years"? Let me take you on a journey to explore my favourite time of year and walk you through the process of consciously closing the old year before inviting and dreaming in the new. And if you want to be supported further...

Today I want to draw your attention to something that is finally getting a little more of the recognition it deserves, especially since at least 10% of women and people who bleed experience it: Endometriosis. Sometimes mistaken for “a painful bleed”, endometriosis is actually a condition where tissue similar but not identical to the endometrial lining of the uterus that we shed every bleed, grows...

"If you want to live a life true to yourself, you have to be full of yourself. Because if you're not full of yourself, there's room for other people and their opinions to creep in!" This genius thought popped into my head when I listened to someone saying that there's a good kind of being selfish, of being full of yourself... Today I share with you why I believe that being "full of yourself" on al...

As women and/or menstruators, we transition all the time. Our whole life is about transitions, because we transition from inner season to inner season roughly every seven days, if not less. There is no permanence. But knowing that there is a rhythm over the whole cycle, and that you will have times when you feel more energetic and times where you feel more inward and times where you feel more crea...
