Menstrual Cycle Mastery

• 94: What is Menstrual Cycle Mastery?

  In this episode, Lisa dives into one of the biggest misconceptions about menstrual cycle healing: the idea that you just need more information. Drawing from years of coaching individuals and groups, she shares why real change happens when you move from simply knowing about your cycle to actually embodying the skills that support it. Lisa introduces her 7 Menstrual Cycle Mastery Skills, the foundation of her new programme Menstrual Cycle Mastery, and explains how these practices help you shift from surviving in spite of your cycle to thriving with it.  She also talks about why she chose the word “mastery,” and how it reframes the cycle from something we’re taught to endure into something we can skillfully work with to reduce symptoms, pain, and overwhelm. You’ll also hear a personal update on her engagement and early wedding planning adventures—because life and cycle awareness always weave together! In this episode: The biggest mistake we make when trying to heal the menstrual cycle Why information alone isn’t enough What “embodying” your cycle actually means Lisa's 7 Menstrual Cycle Mastery Skills Why Lisa created her new programme, Menstrual Cycle Mastery How these skills support regulation, symptom reduction, and deeper self-understanding A quick update on Lisa’s engagement + wedding planning 🌷Links and References 🌷 💜 Join the waitlist for the next round of the Menstrual Coach Academy course at: https://www.menstrualcoachacademy.com/ 🌻 Join the waitlist for the Menstrual Cycle Mastery Collective over at: https://lisadejongcoaching.com/menstrual-cycle-coaching 🌿 Join Lisa's Newsletter over at: https://subscribepage.io/ibNdL0 👉 Be part of Lisa's research interviews at: https://calendly.com/lisa_dejong/research-interview Follow the Academy on Instagram over at: https://www.instagram.com/menstrual_coach_academy/ Follow Lisa on Instagram over at: https://www.instagram.com/lisa_dejong_coach/
